The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Why is positivity so important? Simple answer – because like attracts like. We live in a world of negative messages. We are bombarded by bad news, horror stories, and tales of woe. We can hardly turn without someone commenting about how bad this is or how awful that is. When we focus on negativity, we gather more of it to us. We attract negativity, and we find ourselves inundated with it. Read the news online, watch any news program, and
Giving is important to having balance in life. Some people don’t even consider what they do to be giving. Some people go through this life and make accommodations for others, they take time to help people in a myriad of ways, and they just do things for other people without a second thought. They are people who give time, energy and more so that others may benefit. Giving is a powerful tool. We have an amazing capacity to give on
I have often written about how important emotion is to Pathwalking. You cannot simply choose to think through what you want to manifest in your life, you have to feel it. If you cannot put the feeling behind the thought, and then add corresponding action, you will more-or-less turn about in a circle. It is an absolute necessity that you not only think and take action to choose your path, but you also feel your way along it. If you

As I explored last week, whether you are a winner or a loser in a given situation, accepting it with bitterness or grace makes a tremendous difference in what will come next. It will also have a profound effect on
No matter how many answers you come up with, there are always more questions. This, however, is a very good thing. Life is constantly changing. There are always new things to discover, to learn, to experience. Even when day after day is largely similar, there are always going to be moments where there is new and different and unique. Thus there are always questions. Even when you find answers to your questions, you still get more questions. I am going
Some days you feel sorely tested. I just had such a day. I went to work, and I was confronted with multiple difficult situations that really tested my patience, my crisis management skills, my people skills, and my diplomacy. It was the kind of moment that left me utterly drained, sapped most of my energy and made me question why I even continue to do this job. I got home from work exhausted. It took several hours for me to
YOU are an incredible, worthwhile, amazing person. How does that sit with you? Do you take the compliment as complimentary, or does it make you uncomfortable? Do you want to deny the statement, humble yourself? One of the best ways to reach a positive place it to learn to both give and receive compliments more freely. We as a society have gotten quite talented at finding the flaws, pointing out the inequities, and criticizing. We point out the negatives easily
Last week I talked about attitude shifters. This week is a step back, into the notion of mindfulness. What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is self-awareness. It is knowing what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and who you are intent on being. It is continuously amazing to me how easily we lose sight of mindfulness.
