I am not a fraud. Why am I stating this?  Because I am sitting here in front of my computer, and struggling.  What am I supposed to be writing about this week?  What words of wisdom should I be sharing?   Why do I feel like I am a big fat liar? For over four years I have been writing about this notion of walking my own path and finding my own way in the universe.  For over four years I

There are a lot of different things on my mind, and it is causing me to lack in focus. Some are pretty big picture, way out of my personal control matters.  Some are very much in the here-and-now.  And some are dreams, desires and destinations I want to reach. Everybody gets caught up in this.  We all have personal matters, professional matters, and worldly concerns.  As I analyze this, I am beginning to think that we often allow the things

It is important to leave the past in the past. As much as I am never one to hold a grudge, I do still hold onto many things from my past.  And unfortunately, not in a good way. We always can learn from the past.  The key, however, is to not take it with you into the present and on to the future. Let me explain in more detail. When I went to college I began with zero direction.  I

Lately I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety. This is not a regular sensation for me, I don’t get anxious easily.  But I am well aware that anxiety, as a disguise for fear, gets in the way of Pathwalking. So what am I feeling anxious about? The first step in dealing with anxiety is identifying it.  I know that there are several things giving me anxiety, some of which I can deal with directly, some less so. Current anxiety

Trying to align my beliefs, emotions, thoughts and actions is an interesting challenge. In order to manifest anything, I know that I have to combine thought with feeling and then take intentional actions. That’s a major oversimplification of the process, however.  It is much more involved, and the pitfalls can be overwhelming. What am I going on about?  Let me explain. I have successfully manifested things in my life.  I have managed to make things happen through a combination of

Anger is a fascinating subject. I have a lot of anger in me.  Some is, at least as far as I am concerned, completely rational and likely justified.  Some, however, is old, long ignored, semi-forgotten…but still there. While fear is probably the biggest obstacle I face as I walk my path, anger is a close second. I have not written much about anger before because I work very hard to keep my anger in check. Unfortunately, that does not release

This has been a particularly challenging week for me. As I strive to walk my chosen path I am finding the obstacles along the way to be frustrating me more than usual. I could blame the cold, though overall the winter has been mild. I could blame the grey cloudy days, though I’ve now experienced several days of sun. More importantly, though, placing blame is not going to give me any resolution to my predicament. It is in my best

Today has not gone as planned. It has not gone badly, just not as I intended for it to go. What do you do when you have a plan or an intent for your day, or your week, or your year and it gets derailed? How can you still choose your path when you are clearly off of it? I have said more than once that sometimes the diversions on your path are actually where you need to go. Sometimes
