Do you take the easy path, or do you challenge yourself? This is an interesting question because I think a lot of people misinterpret the phrase “challenge yourself”. People sometimes want to do a difficult and complex thing because it is challenging, not because they actually have the desire to do it. How do you define challenging yourself? This idea is when you have something you are passionate about, but it may be a new or different approach, or it

When you are traveling upon your path, you should do so with confidence. Confidence is not just applicable to emotion, but also to thought and action. You can think, feel and act confident, and it is important to recognize the subtle differences between these three forces. This is a complex concept, in especial as it’s not simply emotional, intellectual, or physical, but covers all three of these fundamentals. For people who have issues with self esteem, this a particularly difficult

Pathwalking 149

How do you remain optimistic and focused on the path in the face of injustice? When you see that the world seems to be going mad, and the bliss of ignorance seems to be reigning supreme, how do you keep at it? The short answer is – you simply do. You have a path. You have made a choice. Keep at it. The longer answer is – some days it feels as though nothing you do will matter. You watch

Manifestation can be quite the paradox. On the one hand it is astoundingly simple. On the other hand, it is intricately complex. It is in fact both. I believe, however, that the hardest part of manifestation is the basic idea of what it is you want. I know that a lot of people see this hooky-spooky bs. New-agey mumbo-jumbo. However, I have first-hand experience with making this actually work, and I know that it is more than just possibility, but

Positivity: Why?

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

Positivity: Manifestation

It is possible to manifest anything you need in life. Many people believe, because society believes, that manifesting the life you most desire is fantasy. Hookey-spookey BS. Delusional. The pipe dream of the hippy-crunchy-granola new agey types. It is, however, possible. Manifestation is not a simple process. It requires energy, it requires action. To manifest anything you want, you need to believe that it is possible. You cannot doubt that it will be, you have to make it real. You

Positivity: Conversation

It is amazing what you can get from a conversation. It is all well and good to send e mails and letters and text messages to communicate. However, they are no substitute for the interaction and give and take of an actual conversation. You can get to know people on a level that really does not exist in any other format. The delay between messages is non-existent, and the interaction is not just words, but tone, facial expressions, body language,

Positivity: Stuck in Neutral

I am not feeling negative. However, neither am I feeling a tremendous amount of positivity just now. What do you do when you are stuck in neutral? Neutral is not the worst place to be. You find yourself in a middle ground, between negative and positive, and you thus stand between the extremes. From neutral you have the opportunity to choose where you want to lean. Do you allow positivity to flow into and through you, or negativity to do

Positivity: Consciousness Creates Reality

Consciousness creates reality. This is an amazingly positive statement. It boils down to one simple notion – you create your own world. It is astounding and somewhat upsetting just how many outside forces work continuously to disprove this notion. We are told that circumstances are beyond our control, and that there are limitations and so on and so forth. We are frequently disempowered, and we wind up disbelieving this idea entirely. Despite all the forces arrayed against this concept, they

Pathwalking is more an emotional journey than a physical one. This is the part that I find I have the hardest time with overall. I can intellectualize the philosophy and I can give deep thought and a loud voice to the concept, but the necessary emotion behind it is a challenge. I have met many people along the way for whom emotion comes first. They can cry at the drop of a hat or they feel pretty much everything around
