Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

Time is naturally of immense value to Afrikan souls. So much so, that throughout the ages this soul people of creation dedicated its use to establish the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“The "value of time" refers to the understanding that time is a finite and precious resource, one that once spent, cannot be recovered. It emphasises the importance of using time wisely and making conscious choices about how it's allocated, as it directly impacts our ability to achieve goals, learn, and improve ourselves. Unlike money or possessions, time is non-renewable, making its efficient use crucial”.
A vital part of the realisation of optimal civilisation in the lives of Afrikan souls is the thrust of learning. Naturally, learning attracts its own allotment of time. Another mainstream source offers the following detail:
“Learning time refers to the duration it takes for an individual to acquire new knowledge or skills to a certain level of mastery. It encompasses the time spent actively engaged in learning activities, whether in a formal setting like school or through informal means like self-study”.
As Afrikan souls journey through life in the contemporary world here, there and elsewhere, how is their time used in service of constructive Afrikan ascension of rightful order? The answer is surely reflected from a look into the mirror of self.
The great hero Marcus Garvey, with his profound depth of wisdom highlights the importance of time and its connectedness to learning with the following caution to Afrikan souls:
“Don’t waste time. Any time you think you have to waste put it in reading something”.
Unfortunately, left to the destructive impositions of others that mean the Afrikan ill, attempts to shoehorn the time of Afrikan souls into servicing the best interests of others and to the dire neglect of the Afrikan self, may materialise. If such hampering conditions prevail, then the natural and rightful thrust of self-determined civilisation for Afrikan souls – and its necessary allocated time for learning - can suffer immensely.
Further, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in avoiding and safeguarding against wastefully haemorrhaging their time, energy and resources into wilful acts of self-destruction by proxy. To expend time concocting strategies to hamper rightful Afrikan ascension and learning, and then amplify wastefulness with deliberate acts set to bring harm to souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan betterment is despicable at best. Time spent feeding the ill-thirst of petty jealousies, negative egos and the like – whether manifest in gossip-mongering, the spreading of falsehoods or otherwise to target upright souls – is time haemorrhaged to invite doom.
Instead, Afrikan souls can rightfully restore and exercise the duty and responsibility they have to themselves by allocating time to learning of self and building accordingly. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
