Unleashing the Power of Determined Faith: Your Path to Self-Mastery

  In the vibrant tapestry of African wisdom, there's a compelling proverb that says, "He who fears the sun will not become chief." This proverb is a profound testament to the transformative power of faith and determination. What does this proverb mean, and how does it relate to the concept we're exploring today - "Determined Faith"? At the heart of it, the proverb suggests that fear and hesitation can prevent us from reaching our full potential. Just as the sun is a vital source of life, so too is faith a fundamental element of our spiritual and personal growth. Yet, if we fear to embrace the warmth and energy of the sun or the power of our faith, we limit our capacity to rise to our destined leadership roles. "Determined Faith" is a potent fusion of the principles of Imani (Faith) and Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) from the Gye-Nyame Journey's Self Mastery System. Imani is a faith that extends beyond the religious realm, representing an inn

  Hello Tribe and extended Family! As we stand at the dawn of Imani, a day steeped in faith, trust, and belief, we are called to reflect on the Gye-Nyame Tribe Self Mastery System's principles. Imani symbolizes the trust we embed in ourselves, in our community, and in our collective journey towards growth and transformation. This trust serves as a beacon, guiding us through life's complex labyrinth of challenges and opportunities. Imani isn't a dormant principle. It is active, dynamic, and transformative. Think about the placebo effect, a fascinating phenomenon in the world of medicine. Imagine a person feeling tangible health improvements, simply because they believe they're receiving a healing treatment. This phenomenon underscores the mind's power to influence our physical reality and speaks volumes about belief and trust's potency. This year, we dedicate not only this week but the entire year to Imani. As the seventh year in our cycle, the significance of th

My father was a different type of dude. He often referred to stories to teach me important life lessons, many of them I didn't understand until after he passed away. This story is one of those, and has proven to be the best so far. On my 18th birthday my father did not show up for my birthday party, but instead asked me to meet him at a coffee shop the day after. Being upset about him missing another major event in my life I showed up with an attitude. When I entered the coffee shop he was sitting at a table alone drinking and reading a book. I approached the table and took a seat, but he didn't immediately notice me. I sat quietly brooding, planning my verbal assault on this man that I felt never really paid any attention to me. Finally looking up at me, and smiling. " I'm glad you came, happy belated birthday." He said reaching his hand out in a gesture of peace. I shook his hand and for some reason my anger subsided, and he began to giggle. "Your 18 y

This one was inspired by a Nordic Myth. I was recently listening to some book by an author by the name of Neil Gaiman. The titles in the order of my reading were Anasi Boys, which was so good that I decided to purchase American Gods. This was an excellent listen. Now to the picture, in American Gods, one of the lead characters was name Wednesday, and as you read you found out that he was Odin. In the story Odin was described as a god that "Sacrificed himself, to Himself", and I like that Idea and it sparked this thought that hit me at 2:49 am 10-27-14... Here you go:
