30 life lessons for 30yrs
1. A child’s perspective is different from an adults perspective. It’s the adults job to remember what it’s like to be a child. It is NEVER the child’s job to understand an adult, because they’ve never been one to begin with but we, the adult, have been a child before.
2. It’s important who we allow around our tamariki. What they see, hear and feel is how their Aotearoa will be shaped. It’s also equally as important who we surround ourselves with, as we become them.
3. For most of us, our gut instincts are always right. Even when the mind is telling you the opposite, hindsight’s a fc***ng biiiiiiitchand will always come back to bite you
4. Awareness is free. Get some. As soon as you can, you’re never too young nor too old. It’ll make being authentic, genuine and not popular.
5. The moment you stop giving your power to others, you’ve unlocked the secret to living a good fu***ng life. I didn’t say easy, cause nothings ever easy. But a good one, is worth all the bumps and bruises along the way.
6. The people who care the most about your flaws are the most insecure people in the world who need the most help. You’re not obliged to give that help if you don’t want to. But compassion is the deadliest weapon to use on your enemies. Trips the mathawhakas up every time.
7. The most important job on earth is being a parent and we don’t even get paid for it. I never knew the true meaning of life until I had my babies. To have 2 heartbeats walking this earth is like living life on the edge.
8. CALL 👏🏼 THEM 👏🏼 OUT 👏🏼 even if it means standing on your own. If you know in your puku, your manawa and wairua that what someone has done is wrong, call that s**t out! People will start to see for themselves, eventually.
9. We try so hard to not become like our parents that we end up subconsciously being like them. Thats why talking with our tamariki and intentionally disrupting those patterns as soon as we’re aware of them is pivotal.
10. Yeah, nah. I can’t be farrrrrrked writing anymore 😂 that’s enough lessons for one night kids. Happy learning mf’s 💅🏼💅🏼
