CANEI: Constant and Never-Ending Improvement

CANEI: Constant and Never-Ending Improvement Great Day, Family. This reflection is for the Elders, Warriors, and Nation Builders out there who understand that growth doesn't stop at a certain age or title. This one is personal—and tribal. Because I’m walking this path, just like you. Today’s theme? CANEI : Constant and Never-Ending Improvement. From Kanai to CANEI: How the Journey Began Long before it was a concept, CANEI was my life. Back in the early days of Gye Nyame, I had the honor—and the challenge—of raising my sons. I was blessed with a contract through a program called Kanai that allowed me to work with African American boys many deemed “difficult.” But what they called “difficult,” I called “diamonds in the dirt.” These young men became the Gye Nyame Boys , and we birthed what would become the Gye Nyame House . Through that sacred work, I realized something powerful: self-improvement wasn’t enough. We had to aim for self-mastery. That shift in perspective laid th...

Your Time Is Now

I just got word that my site was accepted as an Affiliate with Eric Thomas & Associates. I am glad to be able to offer those that come to my site some other powerful words, and merchandise. If you have never heard of Eric Thomas aka E.T. he is an inspiring brother from Detroit. I figured since I was having ads on my site that I should play a bigger role on deciding  what pops up for my listeners and and readers. Be sure to checkout E.T. and his message, I guarantee it will help you make the changes in your life that you want. If you need a sample look him up on YouTube, and make sure you checkout his series called T.G.I.M (Thank God It's Monday), I tune in on a regular basis and also have his app on my phone.     I also had an opportunity to checkout his 1st book, and I must say that I am impressed. I am waiting for his second book to hit audible so that I can listen while I run and ride in the car.  So take some time and check ET, his gear, and his books just ...

Stop Beggin

Image
Stop begging to be relevant and make yourself relevant. Give yourself permission to be what it is you want to be. The fact is that we are all on a piece of dust (earth) whirling around a small flame (the sun) through an Immense void. One wayward cosmic wind and we will be blown out into the Infinite cold of empty space. We all are given time to live, but some of us chose to waist it, while some of us decide to build with it. The question is what are you doing with your time? Are you beggin others to recognize you and your gifts, or are you out doing things worthy to be noticed. The world is so monochromatic, that all you have to do is shine and be you and those that are tired of the "same old, same old" will find you.

On Purpose

Stop surviving and start living. falling from one event to the other. Allowing outsiders to determine where you go, and what you become. Find your purpose and be on it.

The Journey Continues

Image
A hard truth for some, but a very present and sad reality for others. Here at the Journey we strive to bring the truth, as uncomfortable as it can be. The fact is that we are in an economy that feeds off of our labor but refuses to pay fair wages. Every company is in a race for the bottom, and the measuring tool that is used is the reduction in the pay and care for employees, or should I say slaves. Many of you may feel that this does not apply to you because you are not black, but the modern day slave machine does not care about your color. So continue to stay on your treadmill or get to running for freedom. Hopefully I will see you on the Journey, and we can sit and rest and encourage each other, but I can no longer afford to wait for yall I'm gone. Nuff Said Peace and 1hunid years
