The "Self-Made" Lie: Why You’re Waiting for Chickens to Grow Teeth

  The "Self-Made" Lie: Why You’re Waiting for Chickens to Grow Teeth Listen, family—the Ancestors didn’t leave us myths; they left us an algorithm . Right now, we are in a fractal convergence that only happens once every seven years. We are in the year, cycle, week, and day of Ujima . The vibration is Blue—deep, steady, and inescapable. We’ve been sold a colonizer’s dream: the "Self-Made" man. We’ve been coached to carry the world on our own shoulders until our spines snap, calling it "hustle." But that "I got this" mask is actually a coffin. In the Wolof tradition, when someone makes excuses for not showing up for the Tribe, they say: "Wait until the chicken grows teeth." Stop waiting for the impossible "perfect moment" to be responsible for your brother. If his house is flooding, your floor is already wet.

Sinking feeling

As your boat of life/
Hits rough water hold on tight/
And enjoy the ride/

I cant help but to wonder when will I make it through this storm, but then I remembered that the storms may never stop, but that is OK, because with each passing storm I get stronger and better able to handle my Ship (life). I just remember who I am my purpose and realize it is not supposed to be easy. So I just look in my mirror and remind myself of these things, and work my ship until I make it to calmer seas knowing that someday another storm will come and because of this storm I'm in right now I am prepared.
So if you are struggling in a storm of your own. Batten down the hatches and sail your boat through; do your "mirror exercise" (check blog about it any question hit me up) and remind yourself of why you are here and where you are going and most importantly how much you love yourself and you will not sink. Trust me I have been there a few thousand times (not 10000 yet but I'm approaching it....hahahaha)
