Create: A Letter to the Soul of Africa

By Landry Tientcheu

This booklet was designed to provide the average contemporary African with the intellectual tools to consciously create their life. The advent of the internet age brought about a new wave of independence and freedom that is unprecedented for the human collective. Yet, it is a freedom that very few of us know what to do with because we never learned to exercise our free will. We have always delegated our power to cultural, governmental, educational, religious, and/or corporate authorities. Now that we have claimed that power back, we are like free particles hanging around in space. And we will remain so until we dedicate our will to a higher purpose of our choosing. This booklet thus coaches the reader to identify their individual higher ground so as to remain and thrive in that space more frequently. Ultimately, this booklet transforms the concept of abundance from something farfetched and unattainable to a day-to-day grounded application for all of us to benefi t from and pass on for generations to come. Abundance shall become our default mindset.

May Abundance Be Our Default State of Mind

Why

G rowing up in Douala, Cameroon (West Central Africa), I first became intrigued by the Occident in the late eighties via media and entertainment. The discrepancy between the material abundance that was televised to us from the western world and the material scarcity of my surroundings was so enormous that it often left me paralyzed and dysfunctionally envious. In my child’s mind, I just couldn’t understand why people inside my TV screen barely touched the food on their plates while my immediate environment was constantly screaming at me that there’s not enough food to go around. I couldn’t understand why the people inside my TV screen never even uttered the word malaria when the fact is that I was lucky enough to have survived the disease twice already. I couldn’t understand why people inside my TV screen never wore the same clothing twice while I had to wear the same uniform to school for an entire school year. I couldn’t understand why people inside my TV screen lived in mansions with tens of unoccupied rooms and bedrooms while every single room
