  Why Most Creative Projects Fail Before They Start https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-canvas-of-unity--69874323 We often think the enemy of creativity is "writer's block" or a lack of resources. But what if the real enemy is isolation? This week, we are stepping into the energy of Kuumba (Creativity), but we begin on the day of Umoja (Unity). There is a reason for this sequence. In the African worldview, nothing sustainable is created in a vacuum. If you are trying to build a business, a family legacy, or a movement, you cannot do it if your foundation is fractured. In today's episode, we discuss the "Canvas of Unity." We look at why your relationships are the soil from which your creativity grows. If the soil is toxic, the fruit will be bitter. If you want to create something powerful this week, you have to start by fixing the connections around you. How do you tune your tribe to the same frequency?

FUCK IT

Image by Dave Makes via Flickr I am tired now/ World closes in for the kill/ Fuck it , and live dreams/ I wanted to call this post "forget it", but that did not move me like FUCK IT!!! I needed something to  get the juices flowing because this conversation requires emotional content. I have noticed that people need to get their emotions involved in order to make necessary changes in their life. Intellectually we can present idea after idea, but if we never touch the emotions all we are doing is intellectually masturbating. So I needed a term that would get you involved with this post, and "FUCK IT" works perfectly. In some of you it may cause a feeling of revulsion  and for others it may make you laugh, but if it evokes any emotional response that is what I was shooting for. Emotion is powerful tool that can help build an empire or destroy it.
