Kindness/Atawhai
Is Kindness/Atawhai one of my Strengths?
Kindness is one of your strengths if you are nice and generous to others. Kindness is being compassionate, which means to really be there for someone, and supporting them if they are upset. Kindness is also being caring to others, to enjoy doing favors for them, to take care of them, and to do good things for others.
Kiwi
According to Maori myth, Tane-mahuta, god of the forest, was worried about his children, the trees, as bugs and birds were eating away at them.
He consulted his brother Tane-hokahoka, god of the birds, who asked his children to come down from the forest roof and live on the floor.
Only the Kiwi agreed to sacrifice his beautiful wings and feathers to live on the forest floor. And as a reward of his kindness, Tane-hokahoka made him the most well-known and best-loved bird of all.
