SHED THE WEIGHT OF FALSE PURPOSE

  SHED THE WEIGHT OF FALSE PURPOSE https://www.spreaker.com/episode/shed-the-weight-of-false-purpose--70891945 Have you ever felt exhausted by the endless pressure to "find your purpose"? Every day, society hands us a heavier bag. We are told that purpose is something out there in the distance—a degree, a title, a side-hustle, a legacy we have to grind ourselves to the bone to achieve. But what if everything you’ve been taught about finding your calling is completely backwards? What if the reason you feel so lost is because you are carrying too much of what isn't yours? On this day of Nia (Yellow), we aren't adding anything new to your to-do list. We are talking about the liberating art of scraping off the buildup. The truth is, your purpose is suffocating under the weight of other people's expectations. If you want to know how to set it free without lifting a finger, you need to hear today's build. Call to Inaction: “The tree does not grow by holding onto dea...

Lesson In Nation Building While Waiting For Death

I am sitting with my father, as he waits to make his transition. Watching him struggle, was tough, but watching him  & trying to keep my little girls busy was impossible. My daughters did not understand about what was going on nor did they care. They Just wanted to get to the playground in the back of the village. At first I just thought the term village was put in the name just to add a little extra to the name, but after walking my girls down to the playground I discovered the name village perfectly describes what is going on here. I never noticed as I drove past this place on College, but this is extensive campus. I knew about the Jewish Community Center (JCC), but I never put it together until today. If you look at this whole block you first have the JCC that is focused on the youth, complete with a gym, swimming pool, Playground, splash park and a smaller playground for tiny tots. I also noticed that there was a baseball diamond back there as well. Next door you have the Wexner Village that focus on hospice, and rehabilitation. Behind this building there is a high rise apartment complex for the elders (I think). Next door to the village and the high rise is a Synagogue. I must say that I was blessed to see this because I now know that #gyenyamecomplex is definitely possible. The Jewish community made this happen for their people and by taking care of their own they were able to eventually help others. I am focused on doing the same thing the same thing for my people.
Even while I wait for the passing of my father my mind can't help but to find nation building information and confirmation. Synchronicity is definitely at work in my life. Just last evening I did my show "Tribal Quotes" and one of the proverbs stated "sight and creation always interact", Today I was given a sight of what I have been talking about, and as the honorable Marcus Garvey would say "what man has done, man can do". So after I finish with my family duties I will hit my hustle harder than ever. Because our children and our elders need something like this erected for them, and I will play my part in making it happen.

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...
