Becoming Tane

Guard your peace fiercely. External disturbances have no power without your consent.

Take 5 minutes each day to focus on your breath, letting go of external disruptions.

True wisdom comes from life's lessons, not just formal education. Embrace continuous learning.

Challenge yourself to learn a new skill or delve into a subject unrelated to your expertise.

A few weeks back I attended a national conference for Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa (formally known as Male Survivors Aotearoa) and did an amazing presentation at it and he said this quote.

When I heard it, I liked it, and what resonated with me is the power of sharing our stories. The sharing our experiences and speaking up is crucial for progress and growth. If we keep our struggles and successes to ourselves, we limit our potential for personal and collective growth.

Many men struggle with the pressure to appear strong and self-sufficient, but it's important to remember that asking for help and sharing our experiences can be incredibly empowering. By opening up to others, we can gain new perspectives, learn from others, and form deeper connections. By opening up to others, we give others the opportunity to open up as well.

Question to consider- What is one area of my life where I could benefit from sharing my experiences and seeking support from others? Remember, vulnerability is not weakness. By sharing our struggles and asking for help, we can move forward and grow in ways we never thought possible.

Be kind, be real, be you!
