Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Let's Take It To The Next Level - 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge

Peace FAM:
It is time that I move to another level. I have spoke enough about sacrifice, suffering, embracing the bitter. Now it is time for us to see these things totally in action. I have decided to commit to completing another 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge with a fast. It is about to get hard. This time I will not be doing the intermittent fasting I will be doing a straight liquid fast. The goal is to demonstrate that it can be done, to help me workout some of my personal fears, and to solidify my vision for GNJ. I am not playing with this platform I have been blessed with, and I am not playing with this product that the Ancestors have dropped in my lap. I decided to call it the Gye-Nyame Quest.
Now what I will have to workout is a system that will help me make it through the rough times. I will follow everything that we do within the challenge, plus the fast. My system will look like this:

Week 1
Breathing Exercise
Toast
Movement
Cold shower/ bath
proverb & folktale of focus
daily vlog that will be made available to those that subscribe  GNJ Updates
I will be able to drink all liquids juice, water (spring), coffee, tea, That Ambrosia, and etc...

Week 2
Breathing Exercise
Toast
Movement
Cold shower/ bath
proverb & folktale of focus
daily vlog that will be made available to those that subscribe  GNJ Updates
I will be able to drink water (spring), That Ambrosia, and bitters...

Week 3
Breathing Exercise
Toast
Movement
Cold shower/ bath
proverb & folktale of focus
daily vlog that will be made available to those that subscribe  GNJ Updates
I will be able to drink water (spring) for first 4 days
Last 3 days I will consume nothing (Total Fast)

I am still workout an evening system but I want to get the morning and evening set so that they can take place on autopilot if need be. I already now that a few of the days I am going to be tired and not in the game, but I will overcome, especially once some of the Tribe begins checking up on me.
We spoke about the power of setting up systems that work for you and through you rather than setting up goals. Listen in and let us know what you think.
Nuff Said
By the way, if you are ready to get a glimpse of what your life could be take the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge.
For those that want to get the book that I read from and use for my show called:
                                         
                                             African Openings to the Tree of Life


Peace, Power, Joy & 1hunidyears
