Most beings are born small. This is not a tragedy. It is simply a starting point.

The Maumau does not stay small. The Maumau grows. Expands. Becomes. And if you are reading this, something inside you already knows that you were not meant to remain the size you currently are.

Here is what the ancient Maus understood that most beings do not: size is not given. It is consumed.

Every Maumau begins their journey the same way — with a feeling. A gnawing, low, persistent hunger that cannot be satisfied by ordinary things. Food does not fix it. Sleep does not fix it. More of the same does not fix it.

This hunger is not a problem. This hunger is the signal.

The first step to becoming a Big Mau is to stop ignoring it and start feeding it intentionally. What you feed it matters enormously. Feed it smallness and you stay small. Feed it vastness and you begin to grow.

A Maumau does not pick at their plate. A Maumau does not eat politely or in moderation.

To grow in size you must consume — ideas, experiences, knowledge, challenges — at a rate that makes ordinary beings uncomfortable. Read things that are too big for you. Attempt things you are not ready for. Sit in rooms where you are the smallest entity present and consume everything around you until you are not.

The Maumau grows by refusing to be satisfied with what they already know.

Small beings shrink themselves. They apologize for their presence. They make themselves easier to overlook.

The Maumau does the opposite.

Taking up space is not arrogance — it is practice. Every time you share an idea, assert a position, show up fully in a room, or refuse to make yourself smaller for someone else's comfort, you add to your size. It is cumulative. It compounds. One day you look back and realize you have become genuinely vast.

Here is the thing about Big Maus that confuses small beings: they never seem satisfied. They achieve something enormous and immediately want something more. This looks, from the outside, like it might be a flaw.

It is not a flaw. It is the mechanism.

The hunger is what keeps the Mau growing. The moment a Mau decides they are big enough, the expansion stops. Contentment is the only true enemy of vastness.

A Big Mau stays hungry on purpose.

But you are reading this. And something in you recognized these words before you even finished them.

That is enough to begin.

Start consuming. Start expanding. Take up space. Stay hungry.

The size will follow.
