If you are in Ghana, then you have likely heard of this recent viral statement by Madam Cecilia Marfo. While I totally love the several versions of this song, it was during a live call with my Hope Family when I had the aha moment for the title of this blog post.
Ko wakyi kakra literally means ‘go back a bit’ and I use it to mean ‘retreat’. The period between Christmas and New Year is such a good time to retreat. I mean, even on the streets, traffic is less during this period. I wonder where all the cars suddenly retreat to! Anyway, if this period is quiet for you as well then I want to encourage you to find time to do the following:
- Count your blessings. The fact that you can read this blog post is a blessing. From 1st January, 2021 to date so many beautiful things have happened in our lives. A good exercise is to read through your journals and see how far you’ve come. Alternatively, you can just reminisce and pick out the highlights of this year. Writing down the positive happenings of this year will let us see the truth; we have a lot to be grateful for.
- Reflect. As we count our blessings, this is also a good time to reflect on what we did right so we can do more of that as we move forward. Another key question is ‘what can I do better’. There is always more room for improvement if we are willing to make progress.
- Forgive. Someone said...Click to read the rest https://www.amaduncan.com/ko-wakyi-kakra/
