The Cost of the Feast: Why Comfortable Chains Are Still Chains Let’s stop lying to ourselves about modern success. We love to boast about the corner office, the direct deposits, and the luxury perks, but behind closed doors, our spirits are suffocating. We have traded our sovereign genius for corporate scraps, smiling through microaggressions just to secure a seat at a table that was built to exploit us. The ancestors from Malawi cut straight through that compromise: "It is better to eat mushrooms in freedom than to eat meat in slavery." August 21st holds heavy ancestral receipts.

Tribal quote - slight change in format and instructions on how to use them

From know on I will post one proverb per day. I have to change the study model for a little while so that I can keep up with my different group. I know some of you liked the 3 per day, but without comments or discussion Im assuming Im sending out to much. So here we go.
For those who have been following the Journey the proces is the same, but for those that are new and want to develope your mind and spirit with those of us on Gye-Nyame journey here you go:
Step 1 : read the proverb, for those moving to a new level in your life or Gye-Nyame Tribe, Scribe the proverb (this simple means get you a journal and write the proverb word for word.
Step 2 : define the proverb for yourself. Get some insight ask questions because these proverbs are layered (they have lessons for different levels of life). Write your definition using the power of Kujichagulia to "define for yourself what the P or Q is saying to you. If you are a bold Soul share your definition on the blog, FB, and or Twitter.
By the way you never know who your insight will help. Share your wisdom you never know who life you will save. True story "one of my poems that I shared on my voicemail once saved a womans life who just happened to call the wrong number. She heard my voicemail (poem I did) and decided that she wanted to continue living." So dont hide your light it may be a beacon that saves some lost lonely traveler. Hahahahaa
Step 3 : Now write...How  you can benefit from the wisdom that you have uncovered.
My friend I promise that at the end of 90 days your life will be different. Because putting yourself through this process is healing and it will unleash some of your gifts. Because you will begin to drink from your own fountain of wisdom. Now here is the proverb of the day:


You do not have the right to quit trying. (The universe wobbles when you do.) You have the right to quit Toxic People. (They're contagious.) ~Dr. SunWolf
