THE FIRE OF YOUR IMAGINATION

  THE FIRE OF YOUR IMAGINATION https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-fire-of-your-imagination--71403205 Are you tired of the "hustle culture" that tells you to keep adding more to your plate? Today, we look at Kuumba differently. We aren't looking for more tasks; we are looking for the fire. There is a "lion" at your door—a problem that seems too big to handle. But what if the answer isn't a bigger weapon, but a thinner thread? We’re discussing how the union of small, creative acts can bind the giants of our lives. But there's a catch: the fire won't burn if the hearth is full of old trash. What are you holding onto that's keeping your imagination cold? Call to Inaction: The fire only rises when the ash is cleared. Release the need to be the "source" of everything. Stop trying to create from a place of clutter. What "old" narrative about your lack of talent can you stop believing today? What project can you stop doing alone to ...

The Gina Gee Project "Cream Of Wheat"

Game Changers- 1Hood

Media is the new front lines and I salute 1Hood for building our Special Forces. checkout the video: Watch "Game Changers: The One Hood Media Academy" on YouTube Nuff said Peace & 1hunidyears
