How To Get Over It!

Alister from South Dunedin

LOVE this quote! Found it on instagram this morning. To me it means what one might do with their pain 😩🤕. We've all felt hurt 🥺😭🤧 or angry 😠😤😡🤬 in reaction to behaviours from others - teachers 🍎, parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, friends 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏻, school kids 👩‍🎓, bla bla. We all have choice 🧠☯. I suppose some never come to realise that and might end up burning down the village! Believe me I get it! I feel like personal development has been the difference maker in my life - the saving grace 👼🙏. There have been times 🕗🕟 when I have felt very much like "burning down the village"🏠🔥🔥 !! Yet the desire to go down a path that didn't lead to prison 😂🤣 was stronger than my hurt and I worked through my feelings over many years 🎁⚖. I was driven by the desire to not feel the way I was feeling anymore. I wanted peace and happiness - BOOM.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
