"While you wait for opportunities, you create opportunities," says Lanai Tabura of his own personal hustle and corresponding success. "Whatever you do, do it with intent and good things will happen. If it doesn't happen right away be patient."
Lanai was born and raised on Lanai Island in Hawai'i, and is in the middle of a successful acting and comedy career in TV & radio. This video is a conversation between Lanai and host Romeo Marquez, who is dedicated to helping Filipinos take action to achieve their dreams. Here, Lanai talks about how if you hustle with Aloha, you can follow it as a path to success.
Lanai talks about the language roots of Aloha - the sharing of breath - and how it is a concept that extends into a culture of sharing. Lanai talks about the importance of making your own opportunities, and he reminds us to acknowledge that when people ask for help they do us an honor. He shares insights into his own experiences around managing money, striving to have patience, and being choosy about who he surrounds himself with.
Lanai tells us a little about the grind that needed to happen behind the scenes for him to make a showbiz career work. It's a hard business to survive in, and many people fight hard to succeed. Lanai remembers his grandmother's saying that, "Everyone's nice, it's just that some people forget that they are." He tries to see the best in people.
Lanai's advice to the world, is to have Aloha. "It's important to help people you don't know. It's contagious."
