More than once I have reiterated that no one but you can choose your own path. For some people this is really easy. They just KNOW without any doubts who they are and what they want to be. They answer whatever calling they receive – whether it’s to be a doctor, a member of clergy, a pro athlete, an artist, a teacher and so on. For some, they go where they are pointed. Someone at some point told them that

One of the largest obstacles any Pathwalker will come across is depression. Today we are going to explore a new avenue, because I am not sure it gets the attention it deserves. Depression afflicts FAR more people than anyone realizes. The first and most important thing to recognize here is that none of us who suffer depression are alone. All of us experience different reactions and have different triggers, but depression is a lot more common than I think most

As you are reading this, I am on vacation. One of the things I am doing on this vacation is to relax, reset, release negativity and work on finding and walking the Path I most desire. Yes, I have a reasonably good idea of what paths I wish to be on with my life. I know what my intentions are, and I know what I want to create for my life. I have, over the past few months in particular,

Keeping to the plan is easier said than done. I am working rather diligently on consciously creating my reality at this time, and I have found that planning the plan is one thing, but executing it is quite another. Last week I wrote about getting tripped up by my need to figure out the how. Manifestation is about idea, emotion and inspired action, but once you start taking action that is not inspired it is surprisingly easy to get off

So far we have looked at trust on several levels.  It began with an analysis of the notion of trust, and how important trusting yourself it.  Then I continued with answering the question What do you do to regain lost trust?  I explored the absolute importance of forgiveness to this process, and how complex this notion really is.  After that, I continued to explore the importance of trust, and how deeply necessary trusting yourself is. The question I have not

Trust is a multi-faceted concept many of us find difficult at best.  When a breach of trust is an external issue you are faced with, what to do with the person/entity that did this?  Do you keep them in your life, let them go, move them from inner circles to outer circles?  But when it comes to the self you don’t have the same option. Of course, one could argue, you DO have that option.  You can take on an

Trust is a multi-faceted concept many of us find difficult at best.  Trust is reliance on something tangible or intangible, holding onto confidence and hope.  That is what trust is. Last week I began to explore that trust in the self is in many respects even more vital than trust in any external force or entity.  Without proper trust in who I am, and what I want to do, walking my own Path will be almost impossible. I concluded by

Trust is a multi-faceted concept many of us find difficult at best. Trust takes on a lot of forms, and can have a lot of meanings.  It is not a simple concept or just a word, it is a tenet of human existence. What does trust mean?  Extracting key elements of its meaning from dictionary.com, we know that trust means: noun reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence;  confident expectation of something; hope. verb (used without object) to rely upon or place confidence in someone or something (usually followed by in or to): to trust in another’s honesty, trusting to luck; to have confidence; hope: Things work out if one only trusts. To sum it up, trust is reliance on something tangible or intangible,
