About the articles
This is where you can check out all my articles that I have written. They are categorised into three central themes: Self and identity, emotions, thoughts and behaviours and meaning and purpose.
Essentially, I love to share about my thoughts and writing on what it means to live a life aligned with our authentic selves, the struggles we face when it comes to trying to do our best and what it means to have a meaningful life. Hopefully, these will help you navigate your life more effectively.
Forget about purpose. Start by defining who you are first.
Many of us think that we need to find our purpose and then everything will fall into place. We would be happier, more successful and more fulfilled.

In the end, the pursuit of perfectionism is a flawed concept and to find out why, read on.
Calming the storm within ourselves
Our lives are like the sea, one minute calm and the next, choppy and we run the danger of being pulled underneath the current and just drifting along. The conflict we have between who we are and who we should be also feels like an internal storm. We feel pulled in different directions, none of which we want. To be the person we are meant to be, we need to learn to calm the storm within ourselves.
To Create a More Meaningful Life, Think of Your Future Self
Research shows that we often misunderstand what would make us happy in the future. There are many things we think we want or need that would make our lives meaningful. However, many of us neglect to think about the who: our future self. I think the who is the key, not the what.
Why do we resist change and how can we overcome it?
The one thing that we humans excel at is resisting change. Whether the change is good or bad, we resist. Why is that? Most importantly, find out how we can overcome this resistance to change so we can move forward with what matters in life.
