Stop Hustling for Ghosts: The Radical Art of Subtracting Your Way to Purpose

Stop Hustling for Ghosts: The Radical Art of Subtracting Your Way to Purpose Ha2ku by ha2tim: Strip the heavy weight, Burn noise of false desire, Purpose shines in peace. Peace and blessings on this powerful day of Nia (Purpose) , vibrating in the radiant, golden energy of Yellow . Today, we pull the emergency brake on the cultural noise and align our spirits with the divine intent that burns away confusion, self-doubt, and generational programming. Let’s get real about what we’ve been handed. In the Gye-Nyame Journey system, when we talk about Purpose, we aren't talking about slapping another line item onto your resume or grinding until your body breaks down at 2:00 AM.

For generations across this land, our people have been tricked into believing that identity is validated by corporate titles, status symbols, and how thoroughly exhausted we are by Friday night.

Salute to Nommo X

Image
I have to start this by saluting the men who have blazed a path in my life. I will do this in order and then I will dive in to this tribute.

On this Journey you have to sometimes adjust your trajectory. You sometimes end up on a dead end trail, because the Journey is about gaining the experience so that you can share what you know. At these times it is good to humble yourself and admit that you are lost. What I have found in life is  that when you let your ego go and ask the universe for help, something always appears. Sometimes it's a book, a map, gift, and if you are lucky  a person. During one of my lost moments, I happened to be on TED.com looking for videos. This is when I ran into Seth Godin's presentation entitled " The Tribes We Lead ". He presented answer to questions I had been wrestling with. I suggested that those on the Journey check the video out. Now I want to send props for a few major things I learned from @sethgodin: 1. I was not trying to build organizations, but Tribes. It was something I had being doing but did not know what to call it. By being introduced to this idea, I have cha...
