A Single Conversation with a Wise Person...

Alister from Dream Big New Zealand

I love learning. I love finding solutions to challenges. I have changed a LOT & I continue to change for the better due to the shared wisdom of those whose information makes sense to me & actually answers the questions I am asking.

I am ENORMOUSLY, EXPANSIVELY, ETERNALLY grateful for the wisdom shared by those who have gone before me. And I feel a beautiful calm joy hug around me as even without the books & quotes of wise souls to guide me... we all have the whole universe inside us... a treasure map... we can ask & we can receive... so all is well.

I am learning a new skill. The importance of moving forward, of envisioning what we desire / our purpose, of embracing how powerful we really are. It's so important to do this. As we change our life before other people's eyes it inspires hope... it will open awareness of possibility in the minds of those who see changing... if she can rise up from that... ANYTHING is possible. Anything IS possible. How exciting, reassuring, empowering.

I am so super grateful for the wisdom that our partnering Company Creator has shared to provide the chance to many to change their lives in positive ways like he has. When we change it can evoke powerful emotions in those who knew the old version of us. Anger, mistrust... it is all completely normal & understandable with the wisdom of our Personal Development Courses.

All of that has NOTHING to do with me at all. It is not my "job" to change others. It is my "purpose" to change myself to create the life commensurate of my worth as a human being. It feels magical imagining that THIS might inspire someone else to rise higher, go deeper, do & be more. Goodness me the seriousness has fallen away & I'm playing with the universe, living & co-creating.. fizzing with excitement & delight on the inside. Life is a gift. I love my gift. Thank you.

A reminder this hunting season

The Team from New Zealand Police

As thousands of hunters are making their plans for autumn – the Roar – recreational firearms groups are urging hunters to always be 100% sure of their targets.

Te Tari Pureke - Firearms Safety Authority NZ, which chairs the Recreational Firearms Users Group, has begun a public information campaign reminding hunters everywhere of Rule #4 of the Firearms Safety Code: to identify their target beyond all doubt.

Director Communities and Corporate, Mike McIlraith, says there is an estimated 50,000-60,000 New Zealanders involved in big game animal hunting each year, and the Roar is the key event for many hunters each year.
“The Roar is a fantastic time of year for hunters to get out into the hills after a trophy animal but hunting safely and making sure everyone gets home in one piece, still must be the most important goal of every trip,” says Mike McIlraith.
“The consequences of not fully identifying your target beyond all doubt can be catastrophic. Our message to hunters is a really simple one: If you are not sure, then don’t shoot.”

Mike McIlraith says while hunting fatalities are thankfully rare, research has shown that misidentification of the target is the largest firearms related risk to New Zealand deer hunters, and 80% of the time this involves members of the same hunting group.

The Authority says hunters should not feel pressured to take a shot: “Instead, hunters should take the time to analyse their target, wait and see if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how many points does its antlers have? Identifying your target means never firing at sound, shape, colour or movement alone.”

Mike McIlraith says good hunters will slow down, and run through some simple mental checks:
- Can I see the whole animal, or could this be another hunter?
- Where are my hunting companions – could this be them or someone else?
- How much of the animal can you see, if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how - many points does its antlers have?

“Taking a little extra time to identify your target and check the firing zone is the key to safer hunting. No meat or no trophy is better than no mate,” he says.
