Image
  Unlocking the Power of Honor: A Guiding Light for Our Tribe's Future In a world where words often lose their meaning amidst the noise, "Honor" stands tall, embodying a profound truth that resonates deeply within the soul of our community. As we navigate the complexities of modern existence, it's essential to return to the roots that define us, leveraging the timeless principles of Honor, Loyalty, and Sacrifice to forge a path forward. This exploration isn't just about understanding a concept; it's about redefining our collective destiny through the lens of integrity and truth. As a community committed to empowerment and personal growth, we dive deep into the essence of Honor—dissecting its impact on our lives and our interactions with each other. This isn't just an article; it's a manifesto for those ready to embody the true meaning of Honor in their lives, propelling our tribe towards unprecedented heights of unity and strength. The Core of Honor: H

Tribal Calling (sample)

Image
We've all heard people speak about their personal calling, the vocation that has screamed out into the world at them. But tonight I want to spend some time looking into your tribe's vocation. What has your group been called to bring and share with the world? I believe that this is a great topic for Ujima. We are in a time of great turmoil, but also of great potential change. We are witnessing an explosion in technological advancement and scientific discovery, but we're also seeing a rise in violent nationalism and extreme political tribalism. The question of who gets to control the technology and knowledge being created is wide open, but what does seem evident is that the current systems of power have no intention of giving up that control anytime soon. There's only one way for us to take back control over our shared future: WE NEED TO ORGANIZE AND ACT AS TRIBES! Learn more at>>>> Follow

Who Determines You?

Image
While it's good to have heroes and role models, you need to ask the question: Who are you trying to be like? I find this question pops up a lot when I talk with young people. They go to great lengths to be like the people they admire and respect. It sounds reasonable, right? Do what your heroes do and you will be just as great. But there is a problem: Who determines who you are trying to become? You or those around you? Are the models you follow good for you or your culture? Although this thought started with young people it does not stop with them. We all need to look at who is helping us determine who we act like. Is the person you are trying to be like a person who is proud of their time on this planet? Are they doing things that make sense for your life? If not, then why try to be like them? You need someone that can help point you in the right direction for your life. Someone that will challenge you, encourage and support you!!! Take the free ecourse and get on our email list

How To Use Your Tribe To Motivate You When You Are Feeling Low

Image
I'm here to give you permission to take a break. It's not that it's hard to find things to talk about—it's that sometimes we just don't feel like talking. And that's okay! Sometimes, we need to take time off from our broadcast schedule and just listen instead of speak. We can turn the mic over to someone else, or we can keep it shut off while we observe the world around us and recharge. But even taking a break, we still have a responsibility: to do what we do best. For me, that means being an observer, a listener, and an advocate for others. It means keeping my eyes open at all times so I can affirm the people I know are out there doing their part, too. I didn't make it through this past year by pretending as though nothing was happening outside of my own little bubble—in fact, I made it by getting out there and meeting everyone else who is also braving this time in history with me and for me. And my tribe is out there inspiring me every day. So when I come

How to miss your purpose (7 reasons why you should) sample

Image
Today I am writing about the need to miss your purpose. I believe that having the ability to disappear and do something else for a little while can give you space to grow. Sometimes we can get so involved in our purpose that we begin to lose the vision, and in these times we need to take a break. Leave the work and go on vacation. Allow for the universe to work it's magic on us while we are gone. There is nothing wrong with doing something like traveling to give yourself space to grow. The problem with staying busy all of the time is that we never give ourselves time to think about our purpose or our passions, or even what we want out of life. It's important that as humans we are not limited by our pasts and our experiences but also by our futures and what is yet to come. To get it all you have to join the email list.... Follow

Why should you build a tribe instead of a job?

Image
 A tribe is a group of people who have similar beliefs and similar interests. These groups of people are often led by someone and the leader's job is to help the group reach their goals. Now, before you start thinking this sounds a lot like a job, let me tell you that it isn't. A tribe is not something that you can lose one day because your boss decided they wanted to replace you. A tribe is something that you build and nurture with time so that it never dies out even if you are no longer there to lead them. It's something that grows organically with time and eventually becomes self-sustaining without any leadership whatsoever. And why would you want to build a tribe instead of working for yourself or at a job? The answer is simple: security. I'm sure many of you have experienced what it feels like to get laid off from your job or how it feels when a company decides to close down. When this happens, your whole life comes crashing down around you because suddenly all tho

The Science of Why You Should Not Spend Energy Being Jealous

Image
When I was a kid I was always angry at the kids who got better grades than me. It wasn't their fault they studied harder and did their homework. They earned those good grades with hard work, not because they got lucky. Anger is a useless emotion, but one that we all experience. As a child I couldn't understand why I had to suffer so that some other child could succeed. But as an adult sharing my information online I've learned about getting results regardless of whether someone else is getting in my way. I know that when it comes to trying to be the best, most of us have the same problem. We're trying to be better than somebody else. We're trying to get in front of someone else, so that we can be seen and we can succeed. And if you compare the stories of great success with jealous people who haven't accomplished what they want, you'll find that they don't line up. You don't get results by being jealous or angry. Those emotions are only useful when th

5 ways to live into your name

Image
We want to be known for our greatness. We want to feel like we belong, that we are not alone in our struggles. Intellectually, we might know this to be true — that other people struggle as we do — but emotionally, we aren't so sure. We worry that if they knew the real us, they wouldn't accept us. So we hide parts of ourselves away, assuming those parts make us unworthy of connection and belonging. We need to be authentic. We need to share the real us with the real world. The battle is never won when we hide parts of the real us away. We are not great because of our accomplishments or our accolades. We are great because of who we become and what we give in the inherent process of becoming. If we sell ourselves short, we're cheating everyone out of a piece of greatness that we never even discovered was available for us to create.

So Much For True Unity & Loyalty: 6 Ways To Know If Your Group Has It (sample)

Image
Unity. It's something people talk a lot about but not much can be done to ensure it. In order for a group to be united, they need to be in love—not just between members of the group, but with something bigger than all of them. Anyone can say that they're united, but if their hearts are disconnected from one another, then they'll just be a gathering of mindless sheep. What's needed is a common goal that people feel needed and useful towards. It needs to be attainable, pleasurable, and fulfilling for everyone involved.

5 Creative Failures To Avoid

Creative failure is an interesting phenomenon. It seems to happen most often when you are on the cusp of a breakthrough or important event in your life.

6 Ways To Stop Being Punked By Life (sample)

Image
Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? Like nothing is happening—like you're just going through the motions? Many believe that they are on their purpose, but they are on the easy route that they were punked into believing was their own choice. This route is a simple path that leads to comfort, laziness, and mediocrity. When you wake up and go to work, do you feel like your life is fulfilling? If it isn't, don't worry! You've been punked into thinking this is what you want, but there's something inside of you screaming at you that it isn't. All of us have been punked by life at some point and time; we're all capable of more than what we see in front of us. Even if a person thinks they have no choice in the matter—that their actions are guided by external forces—they still have a chance to change their destiny. Yes, things may seem bleak right now, but there's always a way to get back on your Nia (purpose).... That is good , but the rest is waiti

8 Habits For Building Generational Wealth

Image
Today we will discuss the importance of individual involvement with a tribe to be focused on creation of generational wealth. First, we need to recognize that wealth is more than just money. We can define wealth as the accumulation of properties and assets that represents a store of value for its owner. This means that you have something else of value that you can exchange for what you need or want. When we take a look at this definition, it becomes clear that wealth is much more than money. To be wealthy, you must have stores of value in several forms: You know you need to get our free ecourse: Follow

5 Reasons To Create Life Drills

Image
 Great Ujima: We are constantly talking about the quote "The best life is achieved with engagement with systematic processes", but now let’s look at setting up these systematic processes and why. To make it simple, the process that our ancestors used to describe is basically a drill, and a drill is a practice. In other words, when we discuss life on this level, you can think of it like taking a martial arts class. You aren't just reading a book, getting the knowledge from an instructor, and then expecting to do well in combat. That's not how it works! You take class after class after class: you get your butt kicked over and over again until you finally figure out what your instructor was trying to teach you all along. Then you go back to class and practice some more until it becomes second nature. One of the biggest issues we see with people trying to do their own thing is that they spend hours studying and planning before finally putting anything into practice. This

4 Simple Steps To Becoming Dedicated In Life (Sample)

Image
Dedication is not just a word—it's an action. And that's what we're all about. The concept of dedication stems from the idea that you have to be devoted to an idea, cause, or person for it to be successful. It goes beyond just saying something; it's repeated action which builds upon itself. It's dedication that has made the world what it is today. Dedication is a defining feature of a tribe, and it can also be a defining feature of your life. In fact, the two are often directly related. The tribe that you choose to dedicate yourself to can have a direct impact on your life, giving you purpose and meaning in it.

Creating A Tribe Mind

Image
  The tribal mind is a powerful way to think and solve problems. The tribe can see things that no one person in the group can see. We have all heard of the old adage that "two heads are better than one". Imagine multiplying that by five or ten. When we get into our tribe mind we are able to achieve a synergistic effect where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When we are in our tribes we also have more fun, enjoy more laughter and have more joy in life. It is much easier to communicate when we are with others who are like us. It is easy to fall into rapport with people who share your values and principles. You can go deeper and faster when you are with people who are on the same path as you are. It is important to find your tribe and be involved in their activities. Follow Listen to "Creating A Tribe Mind" on Spreaker.
