Those Who Want Rain Must Also Accept the Mud

  Those Who Want Rain Must Also Accept the Mud Great day fam. Let’s get straight to it. “Those who want rain must also accept the mud.” – African Proverb That’s the one I chose to work with on Day 2 of our Tribal Quotes journey. It hit me different, and I had to sit with it. See, everybody wants the rain. We pray for the blessings, for the harvest, for that growth to come in. But what we don’t talk enough about is what comes with it—the mud. The mess. The struggle. The uncomfortable parts that stick to you while you’re trying to bloom. We want the rain to fall and wash us clean, to nourish our seeds and bring our visions to life. But that same rain turns the ground soft. It gets slippery. It slows you down. That’s the mud—and you can’t avoid it if you really want the growth. You Can’t Have One Without the Other This ain’t just about weather—it’s about life. About process. About truth.

Height of life

The height of your life/
Depends on the depth and width/
Of your foundation/

I have run into many people who have wanted to soar to the heights of life. They have big dreams and positive thoughts, but unfortunately that is not enough. We have to go into the foundation  of our life and dig deeper. If we truly want to build our lives to a highest height we have to be willing to do the work to dig deeper, and widen the base. These are of course  metaphores for getting into ourselves. Going into to the dark places in our soul that make us uncomfortable. When we plunge into the depths of ourselves we find out who and what we really are. We recieve the true blessings that were given to us at birth by the universe, and stop holding on to the false gifts of this world. The ancients teach us that we must learn to distinguish between a "gift and a bribe." this world can only bribe us and fool us into following the pide piper to our destruction. We are instructed not to explore the truest explored territory 'our souls'.
When i stop you from going deep within yourself I block you from being able to build your monument that is your life. You end up building huts instead of Pyramids (check out 'The Player's Pyramid'). You end up giving away your gifts and denieing the treasure that lies within.
So go deep, and widen your base. Be open to new ideas about yourself and the world. Look into those dark corners in your soul, and save yourself  or part of yourself from the dragon that holds in pieces. Make yourself whole and build your life to the sky.
