STEP into and OWN your GREATNESS

In today’s society, individuals, especially the younger generation, often find themselves on a relentless quest for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Unbeknownst to many, they begin to judge themselves based on their experiences in this pursuit.

For instance, a person might think, “That situation was awkward… they called me ‘clumsy’… they must not like me… I would be more likable if I…”. These internal conversations, among countless others, occur rapidly in our minds, often escaping our notice. Ironically, studies on human interaction have revealed that individuals who accept themselves are more likely to be accepted by others. Furthermore, and perhaps most surprisingly, those who embrace self-acceptance experience less suffering when faced with rejection.

Consider for a moment the vast array of events and choices that have unfolded since the birth of the universe, ultimately leading to your existence in its present form. As Mrs. Which from “A Wrinkle in Time” wisely observed, “Do you realize how many events and choices that had to occur since the birth of the universe, leading to the making of you just exactly the way you are?”

But how does one arrive at self-acceptance, or even learn to like themselves? Welcome to The Greatness Institute!

At The Greatness Institute, we work closely with our clients, offering individual sessions, pairings, couples counseling, small group gatherings, and even large group workshops. Our primary focus revolves around one essential question: How can you come to accept and embrace your own unique greatness? Allow us to guide you through this transformative journey.

Let’s begin unraveling the layers and uncovering your true potential!

“Never Surf Alone! Never Lift Alone! Also… Never Life Alone! Find Yourself a Workout Partner!” – The Greatness Guru

In the beautiful surroundings of Hawaiʻi, we are instilled with important wisdom from an early age: 1) Never turn your back on the ocean, and 2) Never surf alone. When out in the water, having a companion becomes invaluable. They provide an extra set of eyes, whether it’s observing the incoming sets or monitoring the changing tides. They can also lend a helping hand by blocking for you or alerting you when you’re on someone else’s wave. And in the unfortunate event of an accident, having someone who knows what happened can make all the difference.

But this principle of “never… alone” extends far beyond surfing. In the weight room, it’s “never lift alone!” On the trails, it’s “never hike alone!” And whether on the roads or rails, it’s “never travel alone!” With countless activities and experiences in life, why would you ever choose to go through it alone?

Here at WalkPono LLC: The Greatness Institute, we offer our skills and professional expertise to accompany you on your journey through life. Through years of study and practice, we have identified the areas where the mind and spirit often face challenges. Armed with our arsenal of tools, some tried and true, others developed specifically for our approach, we are here to join forces with you. Together, we will help you refine your skills, strategize your game plan, and elevate your expertise to new heights in your chosen field.

Let us embark on this journey together, and through our collaboration, unleash your true greatness.
