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

  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...

7 Ways To Use Kujichagulia To Keep Your Eyes On The Prize (Sample)

  Whether you are a professional athlete, a student or someone who wants to lose weight, the goal remains the same. You want to accomplish your desired outcome. Many of us set goals but fail to keep them on target. The reason is we are easily distracted. Our primary focus needs to be on the prize and by that I mean the outcome that we desire. I have found in my experience as an athlete that having a personal coach is extremely valuable and it is also something that I do with clients from time to time. But even when you have a coach it can be easy to lose sight of your intended achievement. This occurs for several reasons, but most of all it is because you become complacent at times and can get wrapped up in other activities and responsibilities. When setting your goals, write them down and put them someplce where you will see them everyday. Write out exactly what it is that you want to achieve then break it down into smaller tasks that will help you reach your intended outcome. Mak...

Umoja Toast - (sample)The Nature Of Umoja

Image
  What is the nature of Umoja? Umoja in Swahili means unity, to be one with another. Is it possible to be one with another and still maintain your individuality? I believe so. You might ask, how can you be one with another and still maintain your individuality? The only way this is possible is by expanding your idea of who you are. I am not my body. My body is not me. I am a soul entity that uses my body to interact in this reality. My true self exists within my soul. My soul or spirit is my real self; it has no shape and cannot be seen by the naked eye. If a person loses their sense of being a soul entity then they become imbalanced and disconnected from their realness and true self. This causes them to lose their sense of true identity, as well as their ability to relate to other people in a natural way. They feel alone and isolated from others, which leads them to develop many bad habits such as addictions, unhealthy relationships, depression and other negative behaviors that fe...
