Daily motivation. No religion, No politics, just daily motivation with a touch of an Adinkra symbol to help you kick start you day.

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT DISCIPLINE AND MOTIVATION ARE NOT THE SAME THING. MOTIVATION IS EMOTIONAL, TEMPORARY AND UNSTABLE. DISCIPLINE IS CONSCIOUS STRUCTURE THAT CONTINUES EVEN WHEN EMOTION CHANGES.

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT OTHER PEOPLE'S DRAMA IS OFTEN A DISTRACTION FROM YOUR DESTINY. MANY INDIVIDUALS LOSE YEARS OF THEIR LIVES FIGHTING BATTLES THAT WERE NEVER THEIRS TO FIGHT. PROTECT YOUR PEACE. PROTECT YOUR FOCUS. PROTECT YOUR PURPOSE. BE PURPOSEFUL. BE EXCELLENT.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT ONE OF THE GREATEST HUMAN SUFFERINGS IS THE INVISIBLE HUNGER FOR MEANING. MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT PHYSICALLY STARVING, THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY STARVING.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT MANY HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOT ACTUALLY SEEKING TRUTH, THEY ARE SEEKING COMFORTABLE ILLUSIONS THAT PROTECT THEIR EXISTING IDENTITY.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT MANY PEOPLE CONFUSE MOVEMENT WITH PROGRESS. THEY STAY BUSY, EXHAUSTED AND CONSTANTLY ACTIVE YET REMAIN EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY AND PURPOSEFULLY STAGNANT. ACTIVITY WITHOUT DIRECTION CREATES DISTRACTION, NOT FULFILMENT. BE PURPOSEFUL. BE EXCELLENT.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT HUMAN BEINGS OFTEN SEARCH THE WORLD FOR ANSWERS WHILE IGNORING THE QUIET VOICE WITHIN THEMSELVES. INTUITION IS NOT RANDOM.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT MANY HUMAN BEINGS LIVE INSIDE MENTAL PRISONS THEY DID NOT CONSCIOUSLY CREATE. FEAR, SOCIAL CONDITIONING, CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, FAILURE AND REPEATED DISAPPOINTMENTS CAN SILENTLY SHAPE THE WAY PEOPLE SEE THEMSELVES AND THE WORLD.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT CONSTANTLY LOWERING YOUR STANDARDS TO ACCOMMODATE OTHERS WILL EVENTUALLY LIMIT YOUR OWN GROWTH, POTENTIAL AND PEACE. WHEN YOU KEEP SHRINKING YOUR DISCIPLINE, YOUR THINKING AND YOUR EXPECTATIONS TO MATCH MEDIOCRITY YOU CREATE STRUGGLE FOR YOURSELF.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT LIFE WILL NOT ALWAYS MOVE ACCORDING TO OUR EXPECTATIONS, DESIRES OR TIMELINES. SOME BATTLES ARE MEANT TO BE WALKED AWAY FROM,SOME ARGUMENTS ARE MEANT TO BE LEFT UNANSWERED AND SOME SITUATIONS REQUIRE STRATEGY MORE THAN EMOTION.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT WISDOM IS NOT ONLY ABOUT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY, IT IS ALSO ABOUT KNOWING WHAT MUST REMAIN UNSPOKEN. NOT EVERY PLAN, DREAM OR DESIRE SHOULD BE EXPOSED TO PUBLIC CONVERSATION. SOME THINGS GROW BEST IN SILENCE, STRATEGY AND PROTECTION.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT EVEN IN THE MOST DIFFICULT SITUATIONS HUMAN BEINGS STILL POSSESS THE POWER OF CHOICE. YOUR RESPONSE TO LIFE WILL OFTEN SHAPE YOUR DESTINY MORE THAN THE SITUATION ITSELF.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT PEACE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FORMS OF WEALTH A HUMAN BEING CAN EXPERIENCE. ANYTHING THAT CONSTANTLY DISTURBS YOUR INNER BALANCE, STEALS YOUR JOY OR WEAKENS YOUR SPIRIT WILL EVENTUALLY FORCE YOU TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS. BE PURPOSEFUL. BE EXCELLENT.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT RESPECT CAN ONLY EXIST WHERE CLEAR BOUNDARIES ARE ESTABLISHED AND PROTECTED. PEOPLE WILL TREAT YOU BASED ON WHAT YOU ALLOW, ACCEPT OR TOLERATE. WHEN YOU FAIL TO DEFINE YOUR LIMITS YOU CREATE CONFUSION, EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION AND INTERNAL CONFLICT.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT MANY OF LIFE’S GREATEST BREAKTHROUGHS ARE BORN THROUGH REPETITION, PATIENCE, DISCIPLINE AND THE COURAGE TO TRY AGAIN WHEN OTHERS WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT WHEN YOU FACE WHAT YOU WANT WITH LOVE, NOTHING CAN TRULY STOP YOU. THIS IS NOT HUMAN LOVE ROOTED IN ATTACHMENT OR EMOTION, IT IS A DEEPER FORCE THAT EMERGES FROM BEYOND THE UNIVERSES. IT IS A STATE OF ALIGNMENT, CREATION, PEACE AND DIVINE POWER.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR DESTINY AND THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR SHIP. NO MATTER HOW STRONG THE STORMS OF LIFE BECOME, YOU MUST KEEP YOUR HANDS FIRMLY ON THE DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE. STAY FOCUSED. STAY DISCIPLINED. STAY ALIGNED WITH YOUR PURPOSE.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF-MASTERY TEACHES US THAT WEALTH WITHOUT DISCERNMENT CAN CREATE UNNECESSARY SUFFERING. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO PROSPER, YOU MUST DEVELOP THE WISDOM TO RECOGNISE WHO GENUINELY VALUES YOU, WHO SEEKS TO GROW WITH YOU AND WHO ONLY APPEARS WHEN SOMETHING CAN BE TAKEN FROM YOU.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT CLARITY OF PURPOSE CREATES POWERFUL DIRECTION. WHEN YOU TRULY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, YOUR MIND BECOMES MORE FOCUSED, YOUR ACTIONS BECOME MORE INTENTIONAL AND YOUR LIFE BEGINS TO ALIGN WITH YOUR DESTINY. BE PURPOSEFUL. BE EXCELLENT.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT CONFUSION SPREADS QUICKLY WHEN YOU ALLOW THE WRONG PEOPLE INTO YOUR SPACE. INDIVIDUALS WHO LACK DIRECTION OFTEN CREATE DISTRACTION, CHAOS AND EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY AROUND THEM. PROTECT YOUR PEACE, YOUR MIND AND YOUR FOCUS. BE PURPOSEFUL. BE EXCELLENT.

[Reflectionsonadinkra @Reflectionsona]

SELF MASTERY TEACHES US THAT NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT LIFE BECOMES, YOU MUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD. THERE WILL BE DAYS OF CONFUSION, DISAPPOINTMENT, DELAY AND EXHAUSTION, YET YOUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE DESPITE THESE MOMENTS IS WHAT BUILDS TRUE STRENGTH. MOVEMENT CREATES POSSIBILITY.
