Don’t waste time and energy on people who never change – Rev Vincent Kankam

Rev. Vincent Kankam, the host of Food For Thought on Kessben FM sparked thoughtful discussions with his recent message about personal growth and the importance of focusing energy on meaningful relationships. On Monday’s

powerful segment of his show, Kankam shared a profound piece of advice that resonated with many of his listeners: “You should not waste time and energy on people who never change.”

In his characteristic insightful manner, Rev. Kankam reminded his audience that while everyone has the capacity for change, there are individuals who, for various reasons, remain stagnant in their ways. These individuals may resist personal growth or continue to engage in behavior that doesn’t align with their goals, values, or aspirations. According to Kankam, it is essential to recognize when it is time to stop investing emotional, mental, and physical energy in these relationships.

Rev. Kankam emphasized the importance of setting boundaries in relationships, both personal and professional. By recognizing when a person’s behavior is not likely to change, individuals can protect their emotional well-being and avoid the stress that comes from attempting to force change in others. The time and energy spent on relationships that are not mutually beneficial can often be better spent on pursuing personal growth and building stronger, more fulfilling connections.

Kankam’s advice also extended to the broader concept of focusing on positive change in one’s life. He encouraged listeners to surround themselves with people who are actively working towards self-improvement, whether in their career, health, or spiritual life. These are the types of relationships that foster mutual support and provide opportunities for personal growth and shared success.

By aligning with individuals who are committed to positive change, people can elevate themselves and build stronger, more productive networks that contribute to their success and happiness.

One of the core messages Rev. Kankam delivered was the power of letting go. Letting go of relationships that no longer serve us or that hinder our personal growth can be a liberating experience. While it can be difficult to detach from long-standing connections, especially when we have invested significant time and effort, the act of releasing such attachments can free individuals to pursue their true potential.
