When You Put a Seed In the Soil It Remains Beneath the Soil Until the Season Changes: What of Self Assurance? 

It takes a special kind of confidence for a people to create the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Afrikan souls as the primary people of creation naturally held a rooted confidence in themselves throughout the ages that allowed them to do just that. Of course, this type of functional confidence is not a stand-alone nor isolated quality in this soul people. Rather, it is a consequence of their naturally in-depth levels of self-knowledge, their lived authentic culture (creatively restored or otherwise) and their upright outward expressions – amongst other things that service their continual ascension. This can be described as a people that are self-assured. 

With a focus on the individual, a mainstream contemporary source offers the following detail on being self-assured:  

“Someone who is self-assured shows confidence in what they say and do because they are sure of their own abilities”. 

For the purposes of this discussion where the focus is upon the shared core beingness of Afrikan souls wherever located together with their shared experience, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered apt. Alterations may result in something that looks like the following: 

“Afrikan self-assurance is when Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere cultivate and demonstrate confidence in their authentic selves and in their upright constructive expressions of self because they are sure of their own abilities to service their fullest flourishing and security”.   

Unfortunately, in times of interruption and disruption others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to destroy or derail Afrikan self-assurance in a host of different ways. Vices such as miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda may be deployed to inflict damage upon soul people. Despite such dire efforts, it is Afrikan souls who have the exclusive ability to restore their natural level of self-assurance in order to realise Afrikan optimality.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, provides a few of his insightful words of wisdom with the following articulation of depth: 

“Armed with the knowledge of our past, we can, with confidence, charter a course for our future”. 

This, amongst much else, speaks to an aspect of the rootedness that self-assurance amongst Afrikan souls naturally holds. At the same time, it surely inspires the Afrikan to take the necessary self-determined steps to secure a level of self-knowingness. Just as the Afrikan brought forth superlative civilisations throughout the ages with necessary life qualities then, so too the Afrikan can bring forth optimality in the now. After all, flourishing and secure civilisation is not of happenstance.
