THE STORY

When you and I think about patience, we think about calmly waiting for something to happen. Hawaiians, on the other hand, practice the art of patience a little differently. What’s known as ho’omanawanui is not about stopping at all. Instead, it’s an active pursuit of being in the moment, fueled by an understanding that the right things will happen at the right time. It’s the art of being present enough to be able to listen to our inner voice, our gut — na’au, taking action when the circumstances feel right, and taking a step back when they don’t. Patience, the Hawaiian way, is acknowledging that most circumstances lie beyond our control and don’t merit our angst and anguish — focusing instead on that which we can control, and finding comfort, joy, and peace in the journey.
