The Ramblings of the Titanium Don

Your mileage may vary. The twists and turns and obstacles and successes and failures we endure as we walk our paths may be similar, but will not be the same. No one but me is inside my own head. I’m all alone in here, and I am in control of this body, I am in control of the choices available to me. When all is said and done I am empowered to do good or bad, be happy or discontent,

What is it I want from my life? Where do I want to take this path to? Who do I really want to be? Now that I have identified the real fear that causes me to sabotage myself, that being the fear of loss, what chances do I want to take that would lead to succeeding or failing? What is it I want to gain from my success or failure? This is a very hard question for me to answer.

How do I overcome my fears so that I can stop from sabotaging myself again? This is a question I have never directly asked myself before, and now that I have it is time to explore it, and find some answers. The first step is to identify my fears. As mentioned previously, I have an equal fear of failure and success. However, even knowing that these are the two greatest fears that cause me to sabotage myself, they are not

How do you determine if you are your own saboteur? This is a topic unfortunately near and not-so-dear to my heart. This concept has reared its ugly head on more than one occasion for me, and represents a major obstacle in my works to manifest the life I truly desire to have. How do you sabotage yourself? This is something I have been trying to figure out for much of my life now, and I believe that getting at its

Whose path is it anyway? It never ceases to amaze me how many people try to tell us what is right for us. How many people will tell you that their way is the way, and yours is not. It can be terribly disconcerting, and disheartening. Believe me when I tell you that nobody but you can choose the right path for you. There are numerous forces in the world that would far prefer you disempowered, and taking the path

How do I know if I am on the right path? I am actually pondering this question myself. I am feeling uncertain, and I am finding myself having a hard time with being in the here-and-now as I need to be. Let me share with you my own, personal path as I am walking it now. Today is February 4, 2015. I began the notion of Pathwalking three years ago in January 2012. When I started this concept I was

What happens when you run out of choices? The truth is, you never run out of choices. However, sometimes a situation reaches a point where the options available to you all appear to be undesirable. We forget that we are currently the product of our past thoughts and actions. Who we are at this moment is directly related to who we have conjured ourselves to be. What does that mean? If, as I regularly posit, consciousness creates reality, then what

Life is meant to be lived in the here and now. Over the past several weeks this has been the central theme of this blog.  But one thing I have not gotten into in depth is – How?  How do you live in the here and now? I have been working on this for the past two years, as I have been working to walk my own path.  Along the way I have encountered new discoveries and lessons which I

Life is meant to be lived in the here and now. If, as I have postulated previously, I cannot live IN the past, or live FOR the future – then I am left with the present. For a lot of people, this very simple notion is hard to believe.  The here and now is immediate, it is in-your-face, it is not then, not later, but right now.  It is the moment.  It is the ultimate reality around you. We have
