Akoranga Tuawhā - Ko te Whakaihu Waka.
Lesson Four - Finding Direction
Tā te rangatira he tupu i ngā wheako o tōna ao.
A chief learns from his experiences.
Ko te ahu whakamua mā te tiro whakamuri, arā, nā te ao o mua te ao o nāianei i tārai.
We learn how to move forward by looking to the past.
Heoi ehara koia te otinga atu o te kōrero.
But that is not is not the full story.
Ko ngā pāmamae ki runga i tō ao he wheako noa o tō ao, ehara i tō ao, ehara tonu i a koe.
Your past trauma is just that, trauma of the past, don’t let it control your current world.
Me ako, me waiho, me tīmata anō.
Learn from it, leave it be, then start again.
