hHHello
and
Welcome
Allow me to introduce myself.
I AM Hugh Wallace Hultman and have
spent a life of incredible adventures and unbelievable
moments. My odyssey through life has been profoundly rich and rewarding,
and it is my privilege to chronicle this experience.
The name Found On The Path gives a good idea that things I’ve found on my path during my time here appear here. Since all life is so interesting you are welcomed with open arms to add value to this site. Tell us tales and diamonds and pearls you found on your path. There is a contact form available, an email address, a phone number, a chat, and an upcoming section on semaphore.
I have experienced many moments worth looking at and applying the topics of this site. Ethics, Virtue, Happiness, controlled thinking but this time it’s filtered through various needed criteria, me. This to be a tribute for posterity so they can have a place to get an idea of ethics and attitude adjustment techniques in this investigation of how to live the happiest life we can create.
This repository is more than a mere collection; it is an act of gratitude for the wisdom that history has given to us, a testament to our own self-discovery, and an expression of love for humanity. It is our collective responsibility to assemble, document, and disseminate the truths that bind us. If there is a duty of each one of us and I can seventh sense it, to show our appreciation, gratitude, and respect to those that have gone before us this is my way of pitching in my part. This is a rough quote from Abraham Lincoln. Do you feel like an obligation or at least some reverence and gratitude for all those who have gone before and inevitably created our today. I do.
Remember life is learning. Perhaps our skills weren’t honed well enough at one point in the past where we messed up. We always are learning, gaining new skills, new ways of looking at things. It only gets better, and you can count on lessons to make you develop better personal, social, and financial skills as time goes on. This is not your fault. The time for the lesson or teacher seems not to be planned by you. Teachers appear when its time. The new attitude includes believing to your core that there are extremely powerful lessons included in what may feel like the worst thing that ever happened to you. Until the trauma has some time to adjust or maybe even heal what was the most horrible experience has begun to show you some profound insight. We gain knowledge from many places.
I once had a bunch of furniture I bought, and I couldn’t pay the bill. I lost sleep and was a mess. I met this man that became my mentor and to break the foul mood at least for a moment he said. “Hey look who has the furniture? You do! Who doesn’t have the money? The Company! It sounds to me like the furniture company has the problem!” It broke the tension momentarily but of course that was no solution. I remember being so stressed out I had this window in my bedroom and light from the streetlight came through the glass and curtains. I stared at that light for hours thinking and not sleeping. I decided right then to make a pact with myself to never let financial problems bother me to the point of sleeplessness ever again. Many of the mental techniques I use and are found in this book/blog are things I found to keep my life happy. I’m not implying I’m anywhere near Nirvana but One must always be prepared to sleep on concrete. I had a super important man also became a mentor to me. He made so much money it was sickening. He was the one that said always be prepared to sleep on concrete.
Here I’ll be your guide and Pathfinder. Pathfinders leave maps that bring peace, security and a sense of tranquility in the unfamiliar terrain we walk. Let me guide you to possibilities. Blow in my ear and I’ll follow you anywhere!
Listen to this please. What I’m trying to tell you is that this stuff I’m putting into this piece is some of the best ways to think in the world. I don’t have any answers only tools I’ve found on the path. They are reality changing if used to that point. Aristotle’s Golden Mean, is desire at the root of human suffering, Schopenhaur’s view of Will. I suggest using this site as a source of knowledge. That’s a statement of fact because I’ve done so many things to gain all this knowledge and common sense to the Nth degree. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling it’s a damn pity to know all of the things I know and have a very short time to utilize all of this stuff for something. I’m old now and feel moved to tell everyone that stumbles on to my march the best things in life I’ve found. The best way to incorporate a few aspects of each focused area is to try it out and if it doesn’t do anything but be a pain quit! It’s the trip right now that is the way to feel like life is just like sunbathing nude in a dry desert or wherever you can go in your head when you need to just be. I hope to have some good conversations with people and add things that maybe on the similar path.
I think of life as being on a journey, an adventure - constantly learning, meeting new people, and uncovering treasures along the path, including falling in love hundreds of times with multitudes of people, places, and things. I’m making decisions daily and choosing my path. What happens to me are my decisions! It’s exciting to have a whole day to plan and to play.
An imperative mindset to develop is to believe in yourself. Sure, we all make mistakes because we haven’t had the opportunity to develop the skills and learn the lessons we need to choose differently yet. Be gentle with yourself. It will happen in time.
Things are changing because you know what it takes and are willing to trudge the way to happy destiny. Stick to it. Never stop growing.
Now there is the idea of teachers and lessons that somehow appear at times when we are ready for them. You may not recognize their importance until you’ve felt the change in you because of that their gift they bring. Sometimes those gifts are the most painful debilitating times in your life. I’ve learned so much about life being slapped in the face. Once through the lesson and the trauma it becomes a part of you and once again, we notice the same realization of these things’ years and years ago in the Greek minds.
One of my favorite analogies is to think of a person that always treated you poorly when growing up. They showed no respect or value in you and when they were around you felt like you were walking on eggshells waiting for insults and critical words. Now think of a person in your life that was always supportive, complimented your behavior and made you feel good whenever they were around.
Which one of those are you to yourself?
Let’s see where we go today. Cmon!
LETS TAKE A BREAK
There is a unusual amount of text on this site. I can’t do anything about it and It could be we get tired of reading so much. So, let’s take breaks. Take a walk and grab a water, then read on.
