The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
What do you do when you reach a dead end on the path you’re traversing? This doesn’t happen too often, but from time to time you may find that the path you are on has not only forked, but actually ended unexpectedly. Why? How does a chosen path simply come to an end? The universe works in mysterious ways. You get laid off from the job where you were seeking that promotion; or you wreck your knee and need to
We are not in competition. I have written about this before, but given the monstrous, and seriously ugly, conclusion of the race for the Presidency, it bears repeating. We all got swept up into this thing. Whether because we read the news and supported or didn’t support a candidate, or if we were simply drawn into the current by unavoidable conversations, posts on social media, and so forth, we all found ourselves looking differently at one another. We found ourselves
There are always going to be days where it feels like it just does not matter. But they are a lie. It matters. YOU matter. I have those days when I get out of bed, and no matter how much sleep I have gotten I am still feeling totally wiped out. And no matter how much coffee I consume, I still feel like I would much rather crawl back into my nice warm bed and sleep more. Of course, this
It’s not that there always needs to be a fixed destination. Life is about the journey, after all, so it is certainly both logical and even necessary that from time to time you walk a path, but the goal is not wholly clear. Yes, it is important to have an idea, to have a plan. But sometimes there are days where you just are on the paths, walking along, and though you have an end goal in mind, it is
Consciousness creates reality. I write that a lot. Why? Because this is the truth. Consciousness creates our reality. What we concentrate on, give thought and feeling and energy and action to, we create. We manifest things into our life, and we build or destroy our personal world. I know that for a lot of people this seems like total BS. We live in a world that seems to be beyond our control. We didn’t manifest our debts, our illnesses, the
Decide to decide. I cannot tell you how many times in my life I have found myself at some crossroads or other because I refused to decide to decide. Decision making is only challenging if you choose for it to be so. For a lot of my life, I was the King of Indecision. I totally should have bought myself a crown. When I made the decision to take action for the New Year, nearly five years ago now, it
How do you want to feel? This is an important question I do not think we ask of ourselves enough. Not only do we not ask of ourselves, How do I feel? But neither do we ask, How do I want to feel? It is easy to forget that when all is said and done, I and I alone am responsible for how I feel. Period. Whether or not I feel good or bad, happy or sad, anxious or excited,
Everything is energy. At its core, in its simplest, most elegant form every single thing you can see, touch, taste, and smell is energy. Every one of us, no matter our skin color, ethnicity, gender or other chosen identifier is energy. The earth, the sun, the other planets in the solar system and everything, absolutely everything, is comprised of energy. Both science and spirituality agree on this point, though they might use different phraseology to explain it. Since every single
Life is only as complicated as we choose to make it. Last week I began to explore the many ways we move far away from the relatively simple things we actually want for our lives. For most people, these include finding love, peace, joy and feeling good. Previously I postulated that as children we instinctively understand this, but as we grow and develop we start to add layers and steps and these things get complicated. What are some ways in
Life is only as complicated as we choose to make it. The human race has this incredible obsession with complicating our lives. We create these impossible goals and lofty ambitions, and reject the relatively simple things we all want. Everybody wants to love and be loved. Everybody wants to find joy and peace. Everybody wants to feel good. Yes, I recognize these are pretty massive generalizations, but that doesn’t make them any less true. I know some people appear to
