The year 2020 is the beginning of a new year, a new decade as well as a new cycle in the Chinese zodiac.

It is indeed a good time to set our intentions for this year. Before doing so, I find it very useful and insightful to review last year AND the last decade.

Trivial events and tasks often go unnoticed. However, when we group them together, they may reveal powerful and important insights, such as patterns or themes, to help us transform and evolve as we move forward.

We are not here to be or play small. We are here if we want, to live and experience our true potential and truth.

How do you want to live this new year? And more importantly, how do you want your life to transform and evolve in this new decade to come?

Have a fulfilling, transformational and inspirational new year, a new decade and a new cycle!

We do quarterly, bi-annual or annual review at work. But how many of us will set the time aside to review and reflect on how we have grown and developed as individuals?

Have we stepped up to be who we want to be?

As the year is coming to an end, take some time out to Sit and Feel, and Review and Reflect.

Death is inevitable and yet no one will ever be prepared enough for it to happen, be it to ourselves or those we love.

When it comes to death, love isn't about grieving with self-blame, regrets or guilts (I wish/I should have...) which many of us tend to do. Those thoughts serve no one and aren't necessarily true.

Rather, it is about giving ourselves permission, time and space to feel, reflect and process with self-love and self-care, mindfully and truthfully.

There is no "too short a life." There is no "poor him/her." There is no "dying too quickly." We don't know if the otherwise would have been better. It's a self-created mind game.

No one wants to die with regrets. To do that, we need to LIVE life with NO regrets.

Be clear with our thoughts and beliefs. Don't wait until something happens or someone passes away to "wake up" to live our lives.

Life waits for nobody.

LIVE life with no regrets.

This talk is inspired by The Game Changers Movie and the people who are making changes to a plant-based diet.

When we make significant changes in our lives, it would be nice to be supported by those around us. But what happens when they don’t? What is the best way to deal with negative comments or judgments?

The best way isn’t about finding a way to deal with them. And it certainly isn’t “just ignore them” which is a very commonly given advice.

First and foremost, we need to understand WHY we feel the need to deal with those negative comments. Often, the need stems from a “discrepancy” between our heart and mind, which is what we need to address, not what people say or think.

When our heart and mind are in alignment, we will never feel the need to address what others think or say about us, let alone to deal with them.

What we are good at and what we love doing/being can be totally different things. Many of us get that confused if not mixed up.

Some may think what we are good at is what we are meant to do or love to do. When we get bored or find it hard to be motivated to do it any longer, we feel lost because we don't know where and what to look for next as we think we are good at nothing else.

What we are good at can be skills that we learn or tasks that we do repeatedly. What we love doing/being may not be what we are good at, yet.

When we are clear with that, we can then see why sometimes we run out of motivation to do what we think we love doing.

Is our heart in it?

With true passion and love, we will always find motivation within us to move forward, being good at it or not just yet.

Many people believe that only when they are stable financially can they have the luxury to live and speak their truth, to pursue their love and passion, to truly be who they are.

Our life is shaped by every decision we make. Where we are is shaped by the decisions we made in the past. Where we will be, will be shaped by the decisions we make from now onwards.

Truth is not a LUXURY that we can't afford to have.

Your thoughts?

Are you losing your passion in your profession?

With the world changing so quickly, at times we feel how we have been operating is no longer valid. We may lose our passion for our profession. We may feel we need to move on or change our job.

If we allow ourselves to examine closely, it may not be the passion that is being lost, Rather, it's our thought and belief.

Changes can cloud our judgements. Changes can cloud our thoughts and beliefs. It is important that we give ourselves the time and space to be and stay clear with what's in our mind, and more importantly, what is in our heart.

It is very easy for us to say, "I am like this because I am Chinese" or "He is like that because he is American".

We are all somewhat culturally influenced. But how aware are we in terms of the way we speak, act or behave? Is it truly who we are or is it just how we are brought up?

It is easy to go into auto-pilot mode to live our life as it is, as we know it. But if it isn't a true representation of who we are regardless of our culture, what are we doing about it?

Culture can shape us but it doesn't have to make us.

 Living an authentic life means we truly live our life – we draw our own map, we write our own stories and we define our own experiences. There is no blueprint unless we want someone else to tell us how to live our life.

The ART in Being and Doing lies in being:

– Aware of our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, energy

"Am I fitting in?"

Have you been asking yourself the question because of a new job, new home, new community or a new country?

It is never about fitting in. It's always about being WHO we are.

Why do we allow ourselves to think we have to "fit-in"? And why do we allow ourselves to think we are not good enough as WHO we are?

Act locally. Think globally. Metime. It all helps us diminish the need of having any company, supporting group or answers in life in living and speaking our truth on a daily and practical basis.

Food for thought.
