Book Cover & Preview Text
Grumbling and weeping over the past is Africa's number scourge. You cannot experience new and fresh things while you are glued to the pains of the past. Development happens when people put the past aside and embrace the future. It is a hard thing to forget the past and behold the new thing that is happening around you. Millions of our people in Africa in particular are trapped in this deception and have become so angry with even themselves. People who blame everything for anything going wrong with them have become dangerous to themselves. Staying in the past makes you fail to value yourself or even add value to yourself. Staying in the past disqualifies you from the current and the future. Staying in the past causes you to view yourself unworthy and blame others for that. In Africa many of our people see nothing good about them. They have a mind-set that suggests they are inferior and have lived an inferior life therefore. Celebrating My Africanness seeks to help people think differently about themselves. It is not wrong to be African. it is not wrong to be black. It is not wrong to be colored. It is not wrong to be your tribe and to speak your language. It is not about what others have said about your Africanness or language but what matters is what you think and say and do about you, yourself. This book takes you through a path of recovery. Unless you celebrate yourself, no one will. You are hindered by how you treat yourself more than how others treat you. Understand the importance of your own attitude towards you. Celebrate yourself! This is your KEY. Open the open door.
