This year has been quite a mentally challenging one, especially for those in this country that truly seek change. Seems Agri-Culture has been the trending topic and needless to say, I am grateful that the topic has finally become a point of discussion. A point of discussion that does not create a plan of action, is yet just plain old sweet talk and we can look forward to the population obtaining diabetes from these actions. Not literally, but the continues dis-ease the people of this country tend to encounter being forced every few years to run back to the poles. Where is the sustainability that the people seek?
One thing for sure that I have learned during the course of this year, is not to sit and wait to be spoon fed by the hands of the belly full politician, but rather meditate, engage and create plans of actions with other individuals that truly seek a turn around to the long lasting dictatorship that governs this country! Long term sustainability in every aspect should be our priority as people as we once again tend to put a few back in the position of leadership. On our way to do so, we must also take a chance a look into the mirror and ask ourselves, ‘’Are we as well playing our role toward leading this country into a positive direction toward long term sustainability?’’..
In the upcoming year we should not only continue to challenge government to implement better policies and legislations that will bring back a sense of pride and culture to our people and country. But, we should also challenge ourselves in the ways we manage our waste, build community standards, invest more in our own communities, plant more food, handle social responsibility, revitalize our tourism product, safeguard our culture and assisting our fellow man in times off need.
The world is constantly changing, making the necessary adjustment she needs to be able to sustain mankind ,us! She will not wait for us to make that move, she will force us.. Just as our continuous positive actions and activism toward change will one day force our leaders to uphold their governance role.. There for, its is most important to understand that we the people also have one of the greatest roles to play toward ensuring our livelihood for generations to come. St Maarten is not a country built on its own, its a reflection of we the masses, our blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices that will one day allow us to call St Maarten the Friendly Island once again!
I truly had an amazing year despite all the challenges, met allot of amazing people and had my share of obstacles, but understand that the hurdles in life teach us how to jump and we will never learn what failure or glory is unless we try. As long as we have breath in our body, it means our journey and mission is not over yet, now we have another year in front of us to try and get it right.. Dont mind nobody else business, it can all start with you !
I look forward to sharing more great research toward building the continuous awareness in the areas culture, agriculture, community development, health, arts, entertainment, eco tourism, business and sports with hopes it continues to spark individual change in ones day to day lifestyle habits. For the new year, make it a priority to plant a tree in your back yard and get more involved in your own food security, after all if you dont do it who will do it for you..
I also want to thank everybody that supported me and believed in the cause that agriculture can one day actually help to empower our economy. Thank you. All the best to you and your family for the year 2020. Much health, strength and blessings I wish to come your way…
