Success is a Team Sport

  SUCCESS IS A TEAM SPORT https://www.spreaker.com/episode/success-is-a-team-sport--72066819 What if your inability to make your creative dreams manifest isn't because you aren't working hard enough, but because you are trying to carry the entire block by yourself? In this episode of Tha Daily Spark , we dive deep into the week of Kuumba to look through the lens of Ujima. We live in a world that praises the isolated "grustle"—that toxic mix of hyper-individualism that keeps you locked in competition with the very people meant to help you build your empire. We parse through the ancient wisdom of the Seven Sticks to uncover why a single, brilliant career can be snapped like a twig by the random winds of life, while a bound community stands completely unbreakable. There is a hidden tension between your individual flavor and your collective responsibility, and until you resolve it, your creative fire will only produce smoke instead of real power.

Giving good speeches/
does not necessarily/
equals leadership/

It seems that we have confused the concept of leadership, with a good orator. Leadership for me is not about being able to loop together good sound bites, but more about being able to do, and make things happen. I have seen many a great speaker that when it came to crunch time could not lead him or herself to the restroom. I have also run into leaders that could not string together a good speech to save their life, but knew how to command a group. Then of course you have those who can do both.
I just wanted to speak on this subject because I feel that the people of the world today are being given talking head leadership. Individuals who have been selected for their positions because they could recite a good speech, and move some emotion. It is time that we move beyond that, at least those of us on the Journey. We need to begin judging some of these so called leaders on what they have accomplished, rather than what they promise.
Nuff said
peace & 1hunidyears

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
