The CEO of the Hearts and Hearts Foundation, Amos Kevin-Annan, has emphasized the importance of individual introspection in fostering harmony among people.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Reboot Your Life Series on Monday, January 13, under the theme “Living in Harmony with All Manner of People,” he urged individuals to take responsibility for their relationships and emotional well-being.
“Living in harmony as a nation begins with the individual. If you are not at peace with yourself, you cannot live in harmony with others,” he said.
Mr. Kevin-Annan warned against harboring negative emotions such as hatred, jealousy, and greed, as these hinder personal growth and peaceful coexistence.
He advised listeners to forgive themselves, let go of burdens, and strive to be better individuals.
“You have a choice between good and evil. No one is perfect, but we must work on getting rid of the things that disrupt our inner peace,” he added.
Mr. Kevin-Annan also highlighted the role of parents in shaping the next generation, stressing that how children are raised reflects in their future behavior.
He called for respect, tolerance, and learning to relate to different people in various situations as essential steps to achieving harmony.
“Parents play a crucial role in guiding their children. A child’s upbringing reflects in their behavior as they grow up. It’s important to respect one another and learn how to relate to different people at various times. We must be tolerant of others, especially in our diverse, cosmopolitan environment,” he advised.
