When you look at history, nothing has been achieved without the power of hope and possibility being present.So one of the most important things we can do is to have a doorway inside of us, so that no matter the circumstances we are in, that we can feel, access the tiniest bit of hope and possibility.
If you can access a little bit of hope, you can access a lot more.
How Do We Take Our Power Back?
By recognizing, seeing and being aware of how we gave our power away. We give our power away in small amounts that add up, so we take it back the same way. It's up to us how quickly we wish to move in that direction and reclaim enough power to set us free from that which controls what we should control and self-determine. By seeing how we've given our power away, we can begin the process of making choices that are different from the choices that have held us in place or kept that power away from us.No matter how things have been or how long, from this point forward, things can be better simply by changing decisions within our control. This thought opens up that little bit of possibility and that has a lot of power in it.So Africans, stop saying we will never be unified, never defeat our enemies, never end racism, never get reparations, never escape from the bondage of religion and so on. All these things are just situations, and in no way define hundreds of thousands of years of Africans prevailing against all odds that we've ever faced. Some of us never will break free, but enough of us will.
