Scrape Off the Labels: The Kujichagulia Purge

  Scrape Off the Labels: The Kujichagulia Purge https://www.spreaker.com/episode/scrape-off-the-labels-the-kujichagulia-purge--70991525 Ever notice how exhausting it is trying to "build" your identity? We spend decades stacking affirmations, buying clothes, and chasing titles just to feel like we know who we are in this world. But what if your true self is already there, just buried under years of buildup? Today on the Gye-Nyame calendar, we sit in the deep Indigo of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination). Most folks think determining yourself means inventing a new you. But on the porch, we know better. The world has spent your whole life plastering labels on you—some of them so tight they feel like your own skin. The work isn't to put on a new mask. The work is to scrape the old ones off. We're discussing the power of the purge on today's episode of Tha Daily Spark. We’re dropping the heavy bags of blame, shame, and guilt, and stepping out of the mad, sad, and scared ...

"Your Lever Is Long Enough"

I know that this sounds strange but the idea came to me as I was doing research and found a Greek philosopher by the name of Archimedes. Archimedes was quoted to have said "give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world".

We can seek out information that just 10 years ago would have belong to a rare few, and use it on a daily basis to bring success, peace, and happiness into our lives if we choose to.

Positive Thinking Is Not the SECRET

Positive thinking/ Is only a small part in/ Building a great life/ Talk Nerdy To Me by Cara Santa Maria Click the link above to check out video that inspired this blog: There was a recent study that shows that positive thinking can actually be harmful to people using it. This video focused on the movie "The Secret" as well as self help gurus like Tony Robbins, and Eckart Tolle. The study states that positive thinking basically does not work, and is a form of avoiding the truth. This can be very harmful according to the study especially to people with terminal illnesses. Now I am a big supporter of science, but I will share my concerns. The issue is not that positive thinking does not work. The problem is that the scientist only studied positive thinking which is only a part of the process. Although the Secret movie stressed positive thinking, they also spoke about other steps necessary to make the process work. Now I will admit that the Secret movie als...
