Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap

  Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap We’ve been hoodwinked into believing that struggling in silence is a badge of honor. Across our neighborhoods, Black men and women are wearing themselves into early graves, carrying the weight of entire worlds on their shoulders, and convincing themselves that asking for a hand is a sign of weakness. That isn't strength. That’s a glitch in the program. On Day 36 of our 70-day Ancestral Algorithm cycle, under the regal purple glow of Umoja (Unity), we are dismantling the lie of the solitary warrior. The system taught us to glorify the isolated figure suffering alone in the dark. But our ancestors saw right through that trick. The Akan elders gave us the raw truth: "Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one person can embrace it with their arms." Think about that. A single baobab trunk is massive, ancient, and unyielding. It doesn't matter how strong you think you are—you cannot wrap ...

You Are The Greatest

Image
You are the Greatest/ You just got lost in a maze/ That you created/ The purpose of me writing for the Journey is to add value to  the life of those that read my articles. My goal is to uplift, enlighten as well as to  learn from those who are willing to share. This is a passion for me that I struggle with, but yet it has opened so many doors. I have learned so much over the years that sometimes it rushes out or through me so fast that I can't keep up. I need you to realize that you exist in a paradox. On one hand you are the greatest of creations, and on the other you are less than a speck in the total scheme of things in this universe. When we take time to look at where we are in life we can become overwhelmed. Because we have been placed in a place of utter confusion. These paradoxes we live with can sometimes exhaust those of us who were bold enough to begin walking this Journey. My passion is to help you in this walk. To help solve some of the confusion and to help yo...

Gun control or People Control

"Freedom has never been gained or lost in one sweeping  coup d'etat, but more in small stark steps that culminate in either the victory or defeat of  the people." Freedom is a heavy burden to bare, and it requires those who operate under it, to observe the world so that  they will not lose it. Freedom is a double edge sword that cuts both ways and sometimes will cut those wielding her if they are not paying attention. Look at what is going on America and understand that we are suffering from cuts from the sword of freedom. Just because you cut yourself with a tool (a sword like freedom is a tool that is used by people) does not mean you put it away. You either find a better tool for the job, or you improve your method of wielding it. Both of these option requires the user to do work either on the improvement of the tool, or to practice working with it (tool). We can not and should not give away our freedoms because we have been cut by them. We hav...

The New Warrior

Image
I   have   been   looking   at   the   concept   of   the   warrior   for   the   last   few   days,   and   an   insight   hit   me.   All these   years   I   had   been   preparing   my   body   for   war   on   a   physical   battlefield.   Practicing  martial   arts,   running,   and   training   myself   and   others   for   the   battles  that  life would bring.   I   have   attempted   to   push   myself   to   my   physical   limits   through   fasting,   exposure   to   the   elements,   through   personal   trials   and   tribulations.   I   realized   that   all   these   things   are   important, ...
