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

Image
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 ...

The True Wealth of Being: Redefining Success

 The True Wealth of Being: Redefining Success

This image incorporates the nationalist colors of red, black, and green, and is filled with symbols that resonate with themes of character development, personal growth, and community impact. It's crafted to evoke a sense of pride, progress, and inspiration, focusing on the themes of inner wealth and collective upliftment, without using any words.
Redefining Success
Brothers and Sisters, in the relentless chase for what the world calls "success," we've been led astray, measuring our worth by what we accumulate rather than by the essence of our being. Reflecting on the profound words of Jim Rohn, "Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are," opens our eyes to a truth that resonates with the core of our journey at Gye-Nyame Journey (GNJ). This call to awaken to the true meaning of success challenges us to dive deeper into the wealth of our character, our growth, and our ability to uplift those around us. Let's embark on this exploration together, redefining success in terms that speak to our souls.

In this sacred space, success isn't about the external badges of honor we've been taught to chase. It's about the journey inward and the treasures we discover within.

  1. Character Over Currency: My people, the real currency of life is the integrity, courage, and resilience we carry in our hearts. These are the jewels that shine brightest, guiding our steps with truth and leading us to live in alignment with our highest selves.
  2. Growth Beyond Goals: While we set goals to guide our path, the true destination is the evolution of our soul. Every step, every stumble, enriches us with wisdom, molding us into beings of depth, compassion, and understanding. This is the growth that outshines any trophy.
  3. Legacy Over Luxury: What we weave into the fabric of our community, the love, knowledge, and empowerment we share, creates a legacy more enduring than any material wealth. Success is measured by the lives we touch and the light we leave behind.
  4. Empowerment Through Engagement: Engaging with our brothers and sisters, sharing our stories, and lifting each other up is the heartbeat of true success. It's in these connections that we find our strength, our purpose, and our collective power.

As we stand at this crossroad, let's choose the path less traveled—the path that honors who we are, not just what we have. Let's cultivate our inner gardens, nurturing the seeds of character, growth, and legacy. This is the journey to true wealth, to a life rich with purpose and connection.

To those moved to walk this path together, to deepen our understanding and expand our horizons, join our free e-course at FreeGNJEcourse.com or find community and conversation on Telegram @GNJTribe. Together, we redefine success, embracing a journey that enriches not just ourselves but our world.

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...
