If You Could Go Back In Time, What Would You Do Differently?
For those who are not familiar with the word Sankofa, it is an African word created by the Akan tribe from Ghana. https://www.berea.edu/cgwc/the-power-of-sankofa/#:~:text=Sankofa%20is%20an%20African%20word,risk%20of%20being%20left%20behind.%E2%80%9D Sankofa's meaning is for us to learn from our past in order to be equipped to face our future.
If you could have prepared yourself for the many challenges we all are facing at this time, what would you have done differently? Some people might say, you can't change the past so why bother? We can't change the past but we can learn from what we have done and do better for those who will inherit what we leave behind.
We are six months into the year 2022. Is there anything that we can do differently to make the rest of 2022 a great year? I challenge each of us to do something not just for ourselves or our families but for someone outside of our circle. A kind word or deed can exchange positive energy that has the potential to reverberate across the planet. If you already do this, encourage others to do the same. And just maybe, by the end of this year, we can look back at the Sankofa bird and say we have taught ourselves well.
