LITTLE THINGS

Every life relationship is very important. But do you know what makes your life so important to your next door neighbour; do you know what makes your life so admirable to somebody who admires you so much? It may be your little magnanimity shown in times of disagreement and sympathy to people in pain.

It might be your simple way of saying am sorry for the harm you have caused your neighbour, the little sympathy you have shown to your neighbour in a serious pain; or the little helping hand extended to somebody who falls down and you held his/her to rise up. In fact sometimes, it takes very little things to create or re-candle relationships.

Everybody needs somebody, especially in times of pain and grief. Your little, am sorry can regain lost relationship; your olive hands re-candle lost relationships; your little sympathy can live indelible marks on the hearts of people in pain and grief; and your helping hand in little things can create strong bonds of friendship.

Today I appeal to you, to note this, your little magnanimity is much important. Keep doing good, but note that your remorse and sympathy, they are very, very important tools for building and maintaining relationship. And wherever or whenever somebody has shown such magnanimity let's welcome it and learn to move forward. I wish you a wonderful day. Let's reflect on this. You are bless. #VisionInMotion#KeepHopeAlive

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IS BY CHOICE

Democratic politics is by choice; a choice by the people, for the people and of the people. Making a choice among people or persons you can will your power to, for a period of time to govern with your consent.

From independence, Ghana had gone through different forms of government; some democratic and some military dictatorial rule. Thank God since 1992, we have resolved permanently; I believe to take the democratic path, and had had six successful elections, with the seventh before us.

For me, there are two choices before us on 7th December; choice for continuity or choices for change of government for an opposition party; a government in waiting to take the mantle from the ruling government. Which one are you going for; continuity or change? The choice is yours.

Remember making a choice does not call for insults, making a choice does not call for division, blood shared or war. Democracy calls for intelligent argument for the party you believe has the right policy; and your ability to convince electorates to vote for your policies and programs.

The beauty of democratic game is: agree to disagree. If you disagree with me, you are not my enemy; and if I disagree with you, don't look at me as your enemy. In fact this is the greatest virtue and mindset everybody who believes in democracy must have: agree to disagree.

Let's all listen to the parties and make our choices. Your vote is your power. There is more to come. #KambelGhanaForPeace#LongLiveGhana

AFTER THE BALLOT BOX

Knowledge abounds in the world, but ignorance permeates society, seek knowledge and let wisdom be your friend. Knowledge is information acquired, but wisdom is your ability to discern or the grace to think through accessible knowledge to take the right decisions.

One organization that drives democracy is political party. Simply put, a political party is a group of people who aim to influence, context, capture or maintain power to govern on behalf of citizens. A party in power desires to maintain itself in power to continue with its policy and programs with a new leader or supporting the leader already ruling. However, a party or parties in opposition make efforts to influence power by bring to the fore, the shortcomings of the governing party and leader, and put forward alternative workable policies and programs which it will implement when voted into power.

At the core of every political party is leadership; and for every political party to stand either in power or in opposition, it will depend on a dynamic strong leadership. A political party needs dynamic strong leadership, because every party has or experiences factionalism and a dynamic strong leader or leadership will be able to effectively build bridges and mend difference to achieve the party’s goals and pursue the national interest.

The questions I would like you to adduce your mind to, as we go into the pulling booth to cast our ballots on December 7th are: Which party is able to put forward well thought through policy or alternative policies which will promote the interest of Ghana, be it infrastructure, education, health, agriculture, energy, social interventions and what you? Which political party portray or is seen portraying unity of purpose internally and externally? Remember a divided house, for that matter political party cannot stand and by extension build a united nation state.

Which presidential candidate is more tolerant and dynamic enough to bring us together as a nation state? Remember there are some leaders who say one thing and do adversely. The examples are around as to see, both in Ghana and in other African countries. Note: a leader who cannot handle power and authority of a party, if you give the power and authority of the country to him/her will divide and abuse us all.

Finally, which party and presidential candidate see us as "we the people" and not "we and them" or "we and you". I want to emphasize that no party can rule effectively and bring development to all sectors, region and district, if they cannot see us as "we the people." Sometimes, remember they may do something, but might be only for representative purposes.

Let's be careful to listen to all political parties, their policies and programs for the development of the nation, but most especially the leader and leadership or the presidential candidate who when voted into power will lead us for the next four years and bring his leadership style to bear on as all.

#KambelGhanaForPeace #IStandForGhana I stand for dynamic strong leadership and a unifier. There is more to come. God bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK: YOUR LIMITATIONS

Inspirational Statement: “Your limitations will not limit you, if you don’t limit yourself.”

Definition of Key Word “Limitation”: Limitations are hindrances, constraints, restraints, drawbacks, inadequacies or barriers to your life aspirations. They are challenges that come our ways, when pursuing our life aspirations.  

Examples of Limitations:

i.                    As Student; your limitation can be your difficult subject(s), a teacher, inadequate support for your education or health problem which hinder your studies.    

ii.                  As Career professional; your limitations can be your difficult boss or difficult subordinates or even a task you find difficult to do.

iii.                As a couple(s) your limitation can be your difficult mother-in-law, your husband or wife or a particular challenge in the marriage.  

     

With all these, to overcome your limitations you must look at your limitations as challenge not problem; identify the limitations or challenge to your aspirations: success in your education, fulfilment in your career or happy marriage; identify possible solutions, pursue the solution; and in pursuing the solutions, remain positive.

Case Study: I knew a student who because of broken home, was going to lose his educational aspirations, but with strong believe he was able to get support and completed University.    

Conclusion: My friend, one thing you must not is this: there are challenges and there will be challenges to all our endeavors, but “Your limitations will not limit you, if you don’t limit yourself" Stay bless and #Keep Hope Alive Thank you and have a wonderful, wonderful week.

A GAME THAT NEVER WINS MEDAL

There is a game most people play which does not win a medal or help them achieve their goals. Do you know the game? The name of the game is: "Blame Game".

Some people are very good "Blame Game" players; they blame everybody for their predicaments without finding the cause and solution to their difficulties; I am not doing well in my studies, because of my teachers; my boss does not like me that is why he always find faults with my work; am not succeeding, because of my Untie; the devil is the cause of all my problems; you name the rest.

However, when going through challenges in any area of your life do not think of how to push blames to people and circumstances, find a way of solving your problems. If you are pursuing your goals with blame game attitude, success will elude you. Every problem has a solution and success oriented people find solution to their problems, they don't play blame games with their problems. Abraham Lincoln said:

“Always bear in mind that for your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”

Those who succeed in their goals are not faithless people; they are people full of faith, personal believes and focus. Your personal attitude and focus will take you to the altitudes of your dreams. I believe all success first comes with personal believe in the dream, your attitude, determination, strength of character and focus. The devil may be the cause of your problem, but take note we are overcomers through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Whatever goals you have, believe in the goal, believe in your God given ability to succeed, and work hard with focus to achieve success. You will be able to break through the barriers to your goals and vision, if you have positive attitude, pray and trust in God. Note that you are a manifestation of what you think and belief in.

Find solutions to your challenges, avoid "Blame Game" it only distracts or retards your progress. #KeepHopeAlive never play blame game, it does not win medal. #KeepVisionInMotion there is solution to every problem. I wish you progress in everything you do and may you overcome every challenge to your vision and mission. You are an overcomer.

GHANA NEEDS RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM

When the watchdog becomes like the dog; behaves and act like the dog, it will not be long the watchdog will lose its true value. When those who are to help bring out the truth, themselves become untruthful, then who fights for the venerable and the minority in society?

One institutions which helps promote democratic governance is the media; also known as the fourth estate of the realm. It is the duty of the media to inform, hold leadership accountable; protect the interest of the state and expose violations of the constitution, abuse of power and abuses of the individual rights by political leadership.

A journalist must be seen to be factual, truthful and do justice to all mankind through accurate reportage. With these all individuals can enjoy their rights, without fear of discrimination and possible abuse of their rights, no matter their origin, belief, political affiliation or non-affiliation. However, what we see in Ghana today is this: there are journalist who are ready to go to all length to malign innocent individuals, twist facts or tell blatant lies to suit their own whims and caprices and to satisfy their paymasters.

The most unfortunate is the "party journalists" who are ready to tell blatant lies and defend the undefinable just to make opponents to their “political masters” look bad. Hum, don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a media house or a journalist believing in a political ideology. In the advanced democracies which we are trying to emulate, media houses endorse parties and presidential candidates, but with principle, applying the tenets of journalism, justice and fairness. For example, Fox News in the US mostly supports the Republican Party, but with principle; making sure they are accurate and putting the national interest first.

Nevertheless, what do we see in Ghana? Journalists and media houses are ready to fabricate or tell outright lies in the name of politics. They are ready to destroy the hard earned reputation of innocent citizens to satisfy their political colours. Worse of all, journalists are ready to paint the country black, telling stories as if nothing good happens in Ghana or as if Ghana is at war, which continue to affect our progress and economic performance due to speculations. Sometimes am thinking; do they know their lies and fabrications affect the image of our country?

What we must all note especially, journalists and media houses is that, when we succeed as a nation, we succeed together, when we fall, we fall together. Journalists must remember the Rwanda example, it took a radio broadcast to put that country on its knees for a long time. So journalists who are excited to say anything, because they have access to microphones, can write or have access to internet must be careful of how they portray our homeland Ghana.

The appeal is: be factual and truthful to sustain the peace and development of Ghana Our Beloved ountry. Remember when you throw a ball against a wall, it will come back to you. #IStandForGhana Remember truth builds a nation, but falsehood destroys the very foundations of nationhood. #IStandForNationalInterest
