What is Tino Rangatiratanga from an individual perspective?

Kia ora ra e te iwi! I have a Patreon where I hope to add some additional value. If you'd like the kaupapa, and you appreciate this mahi, you can give a koha here: A Maori Podcast

Kia ora! This week I wanted to focus on a question I've been thinking about a lot, "What is tino rangatiratanga from an individual perspective?" - I share some brief thoughts on what I think it means. I sum it up into 4 categories. Skill acquisition, Investments, Health Mind/Body/Heart/Soul, Relationships. I share some experience on the skills I've learnt and how it's personally helped me in my life. I speak on where one should start when investing, and the pros of doing index funds. I conclude with some everyday things we can do to improve personal lives.

Whakatauki - Maramara nui a mahi, ka riro i a noho. [Kohikohinga Whakatauki a Raupo, pg. 75]

Wetenga reo - Ka haere te wahine ki te rama ika, ka hoki mai ki uta, ka whawhati i ngā rau otaota, ka tunu ki te ahi, kātahi ka tāpi ki ngā waewae hai whakaora i ōna waewae i te ngaunga a te kōhatu (W 1971:383). / The woman went fishing by torchlight and when she returned to shore she broke off some leaves of vegetation, cooked then in a fire, then applied them to her feet to heal the damage done to them by the stones.
