Heritage Month: A Time for Reflection and Renewal
It is worth celebrating those whose tireless efforts and sacrifices paved the way for the freedom of various nations. The struggle for independence was profound and cannot be trivialized. Many individuals selflessly contributed their hard-earned resources, energy, and even their lives to support the fight for liberation. Every year in March, Ghana observes Heritage Month—a […]
Survive the Hunt, Win the Race
By: Dorothy Adablah Life isn’t a race won by how fast you bolt from the gate. Some crackle like wildfires at dawn, reduced to smoke by noon. Others smolder, slow and steady, until their blaze outshines the sun. Don’t let the sprint of others hijack your stride. You don’t know what wolves they’re fleeing—or what […]
Education: The Pillar of Progress and Ghana’s Unmet Potential
Education stands as the bedrock of societal advancement, a catalyst for economic growth, and a cornerstone of human development. Nations that prioritize robust educational systems often witness transformative infrastructural and societal progress, while those that neglect it grapple with stagnation. Ghana, like many developing countries, faces a critical paradox: its education system, designed to empower […]
Beyond Gossip: The Purpose of Speaking About Others
A common adage suggests that asking for directions prevents one from becoming lost. This idea prompts me to reflect on whether any individual—past or present—has ever existed who refrains entirely from discussing others. The question persists in my mind: Is it possible for humans, as social beings, to avoid speaking of others altogether? Even religious […]
The Burden of Forgotten Purpose
It’s disheartening when those entrusted with leadership lose sight of their purpose. Public office is meant to be a platform for service—to uplift, listen, and act in the best interest of the people. Yet too often, power warps priorities. Instead of humility, there’s arrogance; instead of collaboration, intimidation. Advice is ignored until plans crumble, and […]
Protect Your Peace: Rising Above Life’s Chaos with Calm and Choice
By: Dorothy Adablah Life is unpredictable. Some days, everything flows smoothly. On other days, nothing goes your way. People disappoint you, plans unravel, and obstacles emerge without warning. Yet through it all, one truth remains: Your reaction is always within your control. Too often, we let situations or people steal our peace, amplify stress, and […]
A Key in the Dark
By: Dorothy Adablah I wanted to reach out because I know life hasn’t been easy lately, and it might feel like you’ve tried every option without seeing a way forward. I’ve been there too—staring into what felt like an endless night, where hope seemed out of reach and failure lingered like a constant companion. But […]
Consecrated Life in the Catholic Church
By: Mawuena The Catholic Church universally calls all its members to a life of holiness (LG 39). For Catholics, a life dedicated to God is not an extraordinary choice but a response to the Church’s call to obey the Gospel of Christ. Through baptismal consecration, every believer dies and rises with Christ, becoming a new […]
I shot the Sheriff, what about the Deputy
Bob Marley wasn’t just a musician; he was a prophet in his way, speaking truths that still hit home today. One of those truths? How society often overlooks the “deputies” in life—the assistants, the backups, the ones who seem to play second fiddle to the “sheriffs.” Think about it. In schools, principals usually get all […]
The Balance of Pride: Strength in Unity
Pride, believe it or not, isn’t always a bad thing. It’s all about how you show it off that determines if it’s a positive or negative force. Take, for example, the Black Stars of Ghana gearing up for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The head coach encouraged the players to strut their stuff with pride. […]
