Ep. 3: Rediscovering Hawaii's Spiritual Compass thru ALOHA

Allen Cardinas, Jr. returns to complete ALOHA acrostic with the final "A" & explain why living these values is critical in today's challenging world. The complete framework provides a spiritual & relational compass for transforming relationships and communities through kindness, unity, respectful listening, humility & personal responsibility.• Akahai (A): being kind by controlling yourself, not others• Lōkahi (L): focusing on unity & building bridges, not walls• 'Olu'olu (O): agreeing to disagree respectfully through skillful listening• Ha'aha'a (H): practicing humility by seeking treasures in people, not trash• Ahonui (A): taking extreme personal responsibility for your life & choices• Cultural deconstruction happens when we lose the ALOHA "ti leaf" that holds society together• Prioritize connection over correction & connection before perfection in relationships• The goal of confrontation should be to manage yr own heart, not to control others• Perfect love casts out fear, but fear can also cast out love if we're not mindful• Living ALOHA means asking yourself: "If not I, then who? If not now, then when?"Live Aloha, love Aloha, share Aloha & as we do that, the world will be a better place because of you.
