Habari Gani?!! What’s today’s good news?
Today, we celebrate one of my favorite principals of Kwanzaa….Nia (Purpose). Through Nia, the principal seeks “to make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.”
Examine your ability to put your own skills and talent to use through service to your family and community at large. When we take time to reflect on our expectations from life, we can take the opportunity to discuss one’s desires and hopes with family and friends. On today, try to determine your purpose and how it will result in positive achievements for family and community.
In thinking about how you can reflect on Nia, consider these few practices:
- Reflect on finding your purpose in life outside of your career
- Add some books and movies that educate you about your ancestry and your history
- Set short term and long term goals that will set you and your community on a path towards a more intentional and purpose-driven life.
What’s your purpose in life for today and in the future?
