The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

Image
  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 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...
