Why Your Solo Hustle is a Trap (And What to Do Instead) https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-currency-of-connection-stripping-away-the-hustle--70588381 We’ve all been sold a lie about what it takes to be successful, and honestly, it’s wearing us out. Every time we talk about Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), the immediate reaction is to start talking about building businesses, investing more, and hustling harder. But what if the secret to our economic power isn’t about doing more ? What if the real barrier to our shared wealth is the heavy, exhausting, individualistic mindset we carry around every single day? We are drowning in the noise of consumerism, trying to out-buy and out-stunt each other, completely missing the actual definition of wealth. If you're tired of the solo grind, it’s time to rethink the whole game. Tune in to the latest episode to find out why your side hustle might be distracting you from real power.

Where Is Your Seriousness

"No one will or should take your stuff more serious than you!" This idea is one of the Gye-Nyame Journey's keys to success. When we "hone in"on our purpose we develop a seriousness that becomes contagious. Everyone around us catches the seriousness in which we carry our ideas, projects, property, goals, and etc.. Either they joins us in that view or disappear from our lives. Many of us are not willing to get serious enough to chase the fake people out of our lives. This is why many people remain stuck where they are. Fake people weigh you down and prevent you from climbing to the top. In fact they help you come up with excuses that you use to justify why you are stuck, and also gives you permission not to be "so uptight". You begin to believe that you can make it to the top without being serious. You learn to be cool, and in fact nothing seems to get you excited, you lack a sense of urgency. Your serious demeanor has been replaced with a cool exterior, and because you no longer take anything serious, nothing serious ever happens for you.
I have noticed that the people who enter the Tribe without the fire of seriousness, also known as enthusiasm usually either fall off when it is time for the work to be done, or conveniently finds a reason  and a place to hide. We all have these type of people in our lives. They are hanging on to you or to your organization just in case it is successful, rather than being real and letting you go.
These fakes rob you of your power, as they suck up your time and efforts. They lie to you, boost your ego, and feed you garbage to keep you still. Because your success is a glowing flame that points out their personal failures.
Those individuals that are NationBuilders, TribeBuilders, and/or FamilyBuilders are unusual, in a society that is based on independence, and consumption. You cast a light into a dark world that many have been programmed to smother. That is why that it is of paramount importance that you begin to take the things that you do serious. That you move through this world with a sense of urgency. That you share your ideas, and not worry about arguing your points with people who do nothing but argue. There are many traps laid out for those special people, and often the people involved with the traps don't even realize that they are carrying out someone else's agenda.
In Gye-Nyame we call these individuals warriors, they look at the world differently. They have not given in to the programming that has been forced on the majority. They are natural fighters, but lack the training and the stamina to keep moving on the battlefield of life, unless they plug into their purpose and a tribe that can help them stay focused. Many of you who are taking the time to read this article may be warriors in action, or even warriors who fell injured on the battlefield. Either way "warrior" it is time to rise, find your purpose, get energized and build.  Your people are in a dire state, and they need people who are energized by purpose. People who take their work serious. people who understand that "something great, must be sacrificed for something greater".

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...

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
