The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
New day, new way. No matter how I am feeling about what lies ahead of me, I know that this is a new day, and no matter what I have coming to me, there is always a new way. It is so very easy to get caught up in routine. There is often comfort in our routine, which I think is part of why we as a species are so fond of maintaining status quo and continuing through certain patterns
Virtually everything in life can be a learning opportunity. Frequently we do not realize it at the time…but once in a while you get a rare glimpse at the process, and get to be fully and completely aware as it occurs. I have been coping with a situation for a bit more than a week now, which I am going to share with you. I am deeply grateful for the job I have currently, but while I appreciate having it,
What makes you smile? What can you look at, listen to, or read that puts a smile on your face? Is there anyone you can speak with who can make you laugh and smile, someone who has that effect on you? We all need to take some time to seek out sources of light and laughter. We all need to find and enjoy things that make us smile. We are living in a world where fear and anger and terror
I was recently delivered a rather serious blow to my ego. Without getting into too much detail, I ran across something online that made me question my worth, my value as an individual, and my ability to do good work. It was early in the day, and set the tone for the rest of my day, leaving me feeling discontent, nervous, unhappy, and otherwise uncertain. I spent a day feeling ill, unhappy, and discontent. Worse, the general news of the
I am. Sometimes that’s all it takes to find a positive. Just acknowledging that I AM. Life happens. Whether I am having a good day or a bad day, the important part is that I am having a day. I am here. I am alive. I am breathing. I have possibilities for my present and my future, and I AM. It is tremendously easy to lose sight of this. We get caught up in our own mundane issues, whether that
I believe that the key to happiness is living in the now. This is particularly challenging, because our society is rather fond of living in the then and living for tomorrow. I have goals and aspirations. One of the reasons I began this portion of my blog was to explore how to live and work in all the worlds I do. I need to cross between separate aspects of my life, different forms of writing, my social life and my
People are coming together to help one another. In the face of difficult times, massive uncertainty, and some scary people assuming power, people are coming together to work with one another to show the world that we will not be intimidated. Whether the topic is education, science, the environment, awful business practices, general politics, LGBTQ rights, separation of church and state or what-have-you, people are coming together like never before to stand up for the things they believe in. They
Like many things in life, health comes in three forms. Physical, mental, and spiritual. It is extremely important that there be balance between these forms. We frequently do not recognize this, and the price we pay is amazingly high. As I am striving to create the life I most want, I need to take more time in addressing these. Let’s start with the one I have down, I believe, the best. Spiritual. My spiritual health is good. I know who
Resistance is not futile. But, remember, Carl Jung pointed out that “What you resist persists.” We need to stand up to the wrongs we see happening, yes. We cannot ignore the bizarre, freaky, frightening things coming from the top of the US government. BUT – we also cannot let these things control our lives completely. We need to focus instead on changing the conversation. Resistance is not futile, but we need to step back from a negative reaction, and try
Mind over matter. I am constantly seeking new and better ways to get control over my mental and emotional state. I know, from the ever-increasing number of books I have read on the subject, that to truly manifest anything I want, I have to absolutely focus on it, without fear or doubt. I have had success at this process a few times. I know why, I know how…and yet I struggle to succeed regularly. Why? Because I let my inner
