Hawaiian Word of the Week: Ho'omana

Empowerment in Hawaiian: Ho’omana

Take your passion. Make it happen.

The word “mana” (“mah-nah”) means life force energy. The word “ho’o” (“hoh-oh”) means to make. So together, ho’omana means to empower or empowerment. 

To me, living a ho’omana life means waking up each day feeling strong, healthy and authentic. You get there by starting with what you can control: your attitude, your focus, your willingness to embrace new opportunities and hustle.
