Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself.
He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world.
But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!!
His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations yet to come.

He didn't just sit there and wished this could happen. He taught all the people in a practical way how to live together as one.

You are a woman, you break our ears everyday with woman empowerment slogans speaking big English. Yet you haven't mentored the young ladies in your neighborhood about the pride in becoming a woman of substance. You feel too important and classy to talk ladies who are beneath your standards. If you can be humble and teach both your elite class of women and the poor women your knowledge on the virtues of womanhood. You will raise a community of empowered and enlightened women for today and in the future.
Be a generational thinker!!!!

You are a man groomed in the manners of being a gentleman. You are able to communicate and present your thoughts and ideas well to the delight of many.  And you have the balls to criticise other young men who have stage freight or stammer that they should speak well the next time they come on stage. Aren't you ashamed of yourself??
Because you were once like them. You can have a large pool of the cultured young men you are hoping to see if you can just volunteer a free time to teach them some people skills. Be a generational thinker!!!!!

You are an entrepreneur and a successful business man or woman. Your small wealth nowadays makes you think every young man or woman hustling to make ends meet is lazy. Just because they are not making enough money or they are not pushing to be successful hard enough. How dare you!!!!
You can start a Financial literacy class for up and coming entrepreneurs and working class people. Stop being an armchair critic and stretch a hand to help a brother or sister who desires to learn something.
Be a generational thinker!!!!!

I want to raise millions of generational thinkers with me in Ghana and  around the world.

Be inspired to be a generational thinker for your family, community and your country!!!

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...
