How to make your life more peaceful and less stressful

The best insight into self love and self care

I used to have many misunderstandings about surrendering. It felt like giving up or not pushing hard enough. But the book by Michael Singer completely changed my perspective. Surrendering, it turns out, is the exact opposite of what I thought. What truly inspired me in the book was the author's decision to embrace new experiences, even those he initially resisted. He chose to surrender and be open to life's opportunities, and the results were far beyond his imagination. That, to me, is the genuine essence of surrendering. It doesn't mean giving up on life; instead, it's about releasing our ego and personal preferences, facing our fears, and having the courage to step outside our comfort zone. It's about relinquishing control and wholeheartedly embracing whatever life presents us with.

I left home at the age of 16 and have lived in six different cities across the world. People often ask me, 'What place feels most like home to you?' In the past, I would select a specific city based on my personal preferences, such as Hong Kong, London, or New York. However, after undergoing numerous transitions that spurred profound introspection and inner growth, today my response would be, “It doesn't matter where I am physically situated because I've come to realize the true sense of belonging is not tethered to a city or a location; it's the home we construct within ourselves. With it, we feel at home wherever we are.”

I wouldn't have attained this state if I hadn't summoned the courage to embrace all the changes and transitions life threw at me. Sometimes, we have to depart from home, traverse the world, to eventually construct and discover that home within ourselves."


What's intriguing is that, once we have established that home within ourselves, life naturally guides us to the city that best resonates with our highest purpose.

Letting go is the best lesson I’ve learnt in 2023.

A good life is not about gaining. It’s about letting go.

You have to let go in order to make room for new things to arise, or for any transformation to happen. If you cling and resist, it means you are refusing to go with the flow of life, and you will suffer.

To everyone who crossed my path, imparted valuable lessons, and eventually departed. I'm grateful for our encounters, and I'm equally content that those chapters have reached their conclusion.

Here's to a fresh start in 2024, dedicated to letting go and building an unshakable sense of self.

How to feel empowered during life transitions

Facing difficult situations head-on from a place of balanced action, rather than with blind reaction, is a sign of emerging emotional maturity

Challenges expand our capacity in ways that easy times do not, as they help us see how we have grown and in what ways we need to continue growing.
