Ghana, March 2009.
In Ghana, there's a tradition that the people use when acquainting themselves with each other. Friends and family will gather together under a mango tree when they meet newcomers in order to get to know one another. One person begins and explains where they have been and where they are going; everyone else follows suit.
While in Ghana in March, our team got to participate in this tradition, and it was so incredible to reflect on where we had all been and where we all saw the paths of our lives heading. Everyone had unique stories, backgrounds, goals and dreams to share.
In the busy, tiring and stressful moments of life, take time to pause and think about where you have been and where you want to go. Be thankful for the moments in the past that have shaped you, allowing you to move forward and achieve the goals that are set out before you.
