The Beginning

This blog was born out of frustration..Frustration with the government, the church and the population at large. We as a people seem to have somehow lost our way in our ability to help ourselves and take pride in being the ones to be the brightest highlighter of all the negatives in our country and point the finger, usually, at our government officials. No doubt, these officials have a role to play and we elect them in an effort to move our country forward but alas, we have been failed time and time again.
Nonsensically, we stick to the same pattern as though we expect new results. The same formula will ALWAYS provide the SAME result so let us wake up and stop fooling ourselves.

FALLACY #1 - THE GOVERNMENT IS THE CAUSE OF All OUR PROBLEMS
The government is a group of people. Just like you and I, they make decisions albeit on a higher level. They seem to believe/ hope these decisions are in the best interest of the nation. Since they are human they make errors. Sadly, the set we have experienced seem to make some of the worst ones. Nonetheless, we the people have a say, we have a voice that we neglect to utilize. We have avenues we do not explore. How many of us actually know our laws and all the ways in which we can make a difference and let our voices be heard? How many of us actually try to put programs/initiatives in motion to help? How many of us are actively seeking to be agents of change? The majority of us pass our negative remarks then sit back and do nothing. We have a part to play. Let us take responsibility for our actions or lack thereof

Fallacy #2 -I AM JUST A MAN..I CAN'T DO ANYTHING
All of us are not born leaders, but we can still have an influence on someone. Everyone does not need to be the one in the limelight. Some of us are better suited elsewhere. Some of us need to put our plans in action so that persons can get on board and the team forges ahead and others of us need to be members of those teams because no man is an island - We need each other. Find an avenue suited for you and get to work!

FALLACY #3 - EVERY MAN FI DEM SELF
Many of us have been living by this motto and look where it has gotten us!! We complain about not having anyone to trust or not having a supportive family but we are not showing ourselves unselfish. If you want to receive you must give. None of us have everything we will need in life. We don't have access to all things but your neighbour does. If we learn to lend a hand we would all progress together

FALLACY #4 - NUTN GOOD NUH DEH A JAMAICA
I am sure we don't link in the mirror and say "'well I don't deserve anything good because I am in/from Jamaica". We all want good that is why we are unhappy with our current state of affairs. We have good parents, good schools, good homes, good people, good businesses, good athletes and the list is endless. Let us have some pride in ourselves and our people and what we can do!

I could go on with the fallacies but I think you get my drift....We can achieve greatness together...it will not be easy but it is possible. This blog is aimed and promoting ventures that will boost our country in every sphere and I welcome all feedback and insight. I challenge you to get up and do something for the nation! Do something to ensure a positive future for our children! Do something to secure the future our forefathers fought for with their lives!...Welcome to the journey if you are bold enough to accept the Challenge.............
