Those Who Want Rain Must Also Accept the Mud

  Those Who Want Rain Must Also Accept the Mud Great day fam. Let’s get straight to it. “Those who want rain must also accept the mud.” – African Proverb That’s the one I chose to work with on Day 2 of our Tribal Quotes journey. It hit me different, and I had to sit with it. See, everybody wants the rain. We pray for the blessings, for the harvest, for that growth to come in. But what we don’t talk enough about is what comes with it—the mud. The mess. The struggle. The uncomfortable parts that stick to you while you’re trying to bloom. We want the rain to fall and wash us clean, to nourish our seeds and bring our visions to life. But that same rain turns the ground soft. It gets slippery. It slows you down.

Umoja in Motion (Sample)

We can learn from their mistakes, too — so that we don't have to repeat them. That's what history means.

Now we need to gather the lessons recognize what we have and move into the future boldly. We can no longer be held back by the illusion that we have no unity. As we stated yesterday it is not that we have no unity, we can see pockets of that all over, what we don't have is a single definition of what it looks like and what it's goal are. We must stop screaming Unity just for Unity's sake we have to learn to focus on what is the ultimate goal. To get more in depth sign up for our ecourse and get our weekly #NguzoSabaChallenge eMag:
