  • Hey everyone, what's up? Today, we're going to be talking about the African proverb "Thought breaks the heart."I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "How can a thought break my heart? I'm a tough cookie. My heart is made of stone."But hear me out. Thoughts can be powerful. They can make us feel happy, sad, angry, or scared. And if we dwell on negative thoughts, they can start to eat away at our hearts.That's why it's important to be mindful of our thoughts. We need to pay attention to what we're thinking and challenge any negative thoughts that come up.Here are three nuggets of wisdom that can help you to manage your thoughts and protect your heart:1. Be mindful of your thoughts. Pay attention to the thoughts that are running through your mind. Are they positive or negative? Are they helping you or hurting you?2. Challenge your negative thoughts. Ask yourself if there is any evidence to support your negative thoughts. Are you seeing things from a balanced perspective?3. Focus on the present moment. When your mind wanders to the past or future, gently bring it back to the present moment. Take a few deep breaths and focus on your surroundings.Remember, your thoughts are just thoughts. They don't have to control you. By being mindful of your thoughts, challenging your negative thoughts, and focusing on the present moment, you can protect your heart and create a more peaceful mind.Now, I want to hear from you.

  • Ever wondered why a village cock can't crow in town? It's a Kenyan proverb that teaches us a valuable lesson about success.In the village, the cock is the king of the roost. He crows loudly and proudly, and everyone knows who he is. But when he goes to town, he's just another bird in the crowd. He gets lost in the noise and the chaos, and his crow goes unheard.The same is true for us. When we're in our comfort zone, we can shine. But when we venture into new territory, we can feel out of place and lost. We may doubt ourselves and our abilities.But don't give up! Just remember the village cock. He may not be able to crow in town, but he's still a king. So go forth and crow with confidence, no matter where you are in life.Here are three nuggets of wisdom from this proverb:1. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. It's where you'll learn and grow the most.2. Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone is on their own unique journey.3. Believe in yourself. You are capable of great things.Join me on the #AFIAPodcast at 6 am PST/4 pm EAT on YouTube @okelojavan to listen to the full interview and share your thoughts in the comments below.SUBSCRIBE to get Daily African Proverbs and their meaning in your life https://rb.gy/jdavpn#MadarakaFestival: https://madarakafestival.com/My New Book: Get your copy of Rooted In Love and dive deep into the world of love, and self-discovery. https://store.bookbaby.com/book/rooted-in-loveRESOURCES:1.

  • Hey everyone, what's up? Today, I'm going to be talking to you about an African proverb that I really love: "The hair on the head is older than the beard on the chin."This proverb means that our elders are wiser than we are. They have more experience and knowledge, and we should learn from them.I know that sometimes it can be hard to listen to our elders. They may have different views than us, and they may not always be right. But even if we don't agree with them all the time, we should still respect them and listen to what they have to say.Our elders have seen a lot in their lives. They've made mistakes, and they've learned from them. They have a lot of wisdom to share with us, and we would be foolish not to listen.So next time you're talking to an elder, take the time to listen to them. Ask them questions about their life. Learn from their experiences. You may be surprised at what you learn.Here are three nuggets of wisdom that I've learned from my elders:1. Always be kind to others. You never know what someone else is going through.2. Don't sweat the small stuff. In the grand scheme of things, most things are not that important.3. Enjoy the journey. Life is short, so make the most of it.I hope you found this video helpful.

Your words and actions are always connected.Think about it. When you say you're going to do something, but you don't, what message are you sending to the people around you?What message are you sending to yourself?When your words and actions are aligned, you build trust and credibility. You show people that you're reliable and that you can be counted on.But when your words and actions are misaligned, you send the opposite message. You show people that you're not trustworthy and that you can't be counted on.2.

  • In many cultures, gift-giving is seen as a way of showing love, appreciation, or respect. But what does it really mean when someone gives you a gift? Is it always a selfless act?In the Mali proverb, "One does not give a gift without a motive," we are reminded that there is always an underlying reason for gift-giving. Whether it is to gain favor, to get something in return, or simply to make someone feel good, there is always a motive behind the gift.In this video, we will explore the real meaning of gift-giving and share three nuggets of wisdom from the Mali proverb.Nuggets of wisdom:1. Be aware of the motives of the giver. When someone gives you a gift, it is important to be aware of their motives. Are they giving the gift out of love, or are they expecting something in return?2. Don't be afraid to accept gifts. It is okay to accept gifts, even if you know that the giver has a motive. Just be aware of the motive and don't let it make you feel indebted to the giver.3. Give gifts with no expectations. The best way to give a gift is to do it with no expectations. Give the gift because you want to make the other person happy, not because you expect something in return.I hope this video has given you some insights into the real meaning of gift-giving. Remember, there is always a motive behind the gift, so be aware of the giver's motives and don't be afraid to accept gifts.My guest is Nola Ro, the Guyanese visionary who once shared her dreams on a Brooklyn park bench, now stands as a thriving entrepreneur and devoted mother.
