You cannot rely on the success of your dream to validate your existence. If so, you will more than likely pause your evolution, while waiting for opportunities to come your way. A dream worth living is not determined by skill or achievement, but how much will, drive, and enthusiasm you feel when venturing in the direction of a chosen path.

Far before anyone knows your name or seeks you out to be interviewed, you must dare to fall in love with the exhausting grind that is required to invite an entire world to know you and the gifts you were born to share. Even at the brink of despair, you must fall madly in love with the path you’ve chosen, even if feeling crazy for the amount of leaps and sacrifices life requires you to make.

Beyond the unwavering dedication needed to master your craft and propel your dream into motion, and even throughout the uncertainty of what will be, in the end, you will have discovered the nature of joy as the freedom to explore reality on your terms and conditions. Of course, the reality you’ve explored on your terms and conditions is always one with the highest path the Universe guides you along. From this depth of awareness, being in the flow doesn’t mean things are always easy or void of setbacks. Instead, flow state is a fearless pursuit to embrace the glory of your own inherent greatness, whether showcased in sold out arenas or captivating an inner audience of one.

Failure is not a sign to find a new direction, just as success is not the aftermath of everything working out. With inspiration as your guide, success is the will to always move forward — no matter the frustrations in sight. No matter the feedback your reality reflects, you are always worth moving forward in the precise direction you are guided to follow.

Loving your heart more, not less, every step of the way.

All for Love,

It’s our responsibility to engineer corals that can weather the world we’ve created 

Can we save coral reefs from the ravages of climate change? Why engineering heat-tolerant species is our moral imperative …

Many people have an aversion to human interventions into the natural world. However, as Corals: On the Brink explores, this mindset can overlook both the responsibilities humans already bear for the state of the world around them, and the potentially extraordinary consequences of inaction. Centred on the work of Line Bay, a research scientist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), and Ryan Phelan, Executive Director of the conservation organisation Revive & Restore, the short documentary details their efforts to leverage emerging technologies to engineer coral species that are more resilient in the face of dire threats posed by man-made global warming. Situated at the nexus of genetics, climate and risk management, the piece makes a compelling case that the only way to save coral ecosystems, which are invaluable to human and nonhuman animals alike, may be human intervention and innovation.

Nā Mele | Kū Haʻaheo Music Video

Inspired by the recent events on Maunakea, some of Hawaiʻi’s most notable and accomplished recording artists and composers joined their voices to record “Kū Haʻaheo E Kuʻu Hawaiʻi.” Composed by Hinaleimoana Wong, this mele has become a rallying call for our lāhui to aloha ʻāina.
“Kū Haʻaheo” will be included on a soon to be released album entitled “Kūhaʻo Maunakea” – a compilation featuring 18 new compositions documenting the events and swell of Hawaiian community unity around aloha ʻāina associated with the Kū Kiaʻi Mauna movement.
The album will be available digitally through iTunes in late September and 100% of all sales will be donated to the Hawaiian Unity and Liberation Institute (HULI), which provides logistical support to the protectors on the frontline of Maunakea. Donations to HULI can be made at https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising….
Lyrics & Translation
Kū Haʻaheo E Kuʻu Hawaiʻi
by Hinaleimoana Wong
Kaiko’o ka moana kā i lana nei Hawai’i
Nāueue a hālulu ka honua a Haumea
Nākulukulu e ka lani ki’eki’e kau mai i luna
Auē ke aloha ‘ole a ka malihini
*Ho’ōho:
Kū ha’aheo e ku’u Hawai’i
Mamaka kaua o ku’u ‘āina
‘O ke ehu kakahiaka o nā ‘ōiwi o Hawai’i nei
No ku’u lahui e hā’awi pau a i ola mau
Auhea wale ‘oukou pū’ali koa o Keawe
Me ko Kamalālāwalu la me Kākuhihewa
‘Alu mai pualu mai me ko Manokalanipō
Ka’i mai ana me nā kama a Kahelelani
E nāue imua e nā poki’i a e inu wai ‘awa’awa
E wiwo’ole a ho’okūpa’a ‘a’ohe hope e ho’i mai ai
A na’i wale nō kākou kaukoe mau i ke ala
Auē ke aloha ‘ole a ka malihini
E lei mau i lei mau kākou e nā mamo aloha
I lei wehi ‘a’ali’i wehi nani o ku’u ‘āina
Hoe a mau hoe a mau no ka pono sivila
A ho’iho’i hou ‘ia mai ke kū’oko’a
Translation:
The sea of Hawai’i surges in turmoil
The earth of Haumea rumbles and shakes
The highest heavens shudder up above
Alas! Woeful indeed are the heartless foreigners
*Stand tall my Hawai’i
Band of warriors of my land
The new dawn for our people of Hawai’i is upon us
For my nation I give my all so that our legacy lives on
Where are you soldiers of Keawe
Along with those of Maui and O’ahu
Unite, join together with those of Kaua’i
Marching alongside the descendants of Ni’ihau
Move forward young ones and drink of the bitter waters
Be fearless, steadfast for there is no turning back
Let’s press onward straight on the path of victory
Alas! Woeful are the heartless foreigners!
Be honored always oh beloved descendants of the land
Let us wear the honored ‘a’ali’i of our beloved land
Paddle on in our pursuit of civil justice
Until our dignity and independence is restored.
