The Voyage #8 - INSTANT SUCCESS

OVERCOMING INERTIA & STARTING ON SOMETHING NEW.1. Stop making excuses or complaining. First it is counterproductive and it’s a really bad habit. Instead of wasting time and effort on making excuses and complaining, use that energy to come up with alternative solutions to solve your problem or work around your problem. 2. Be willing to give up something.Many people want to own their business and be their own boss but it is just wishful thinking. They don’t want to give up TV time, they don’t want to be disciplined in their expenses, they are unwilling to give up that title and prestige. But this also shows how much you really want something. If you really want it, then sacrifice often comes as part of the journey.3. Be faithful in the little things.Nobody becomes a master overnight. David Beckham had to practice his free kicks before and after the trainings, Annie Lebovitz had to take her first 10,000 sucky shots and Steve Jobs had to sell his first motherboard to a small time electrical store.

Quarter-life crisis, fear of the "coming of age"...18, 21, 25, 27, 30...we all face this strange anxiety that haunts us as we approach our birthday date of "significant" milestones. In this episode I shared how I stumbled upon some tips (thank you God) on overcoming this overwhelming sense of anxiety and I hope it helps you through yours too :) 3 Tips to Overcoming the Anxiety of Getting OlderFocus on the people you love.Take one day at a times.Every one is trying to figure it out. 

So I don't get annoying questions that badly to be honest. I think I used to a lot more, but the people around me are used to the fact that I run my own business already, so it's nothing new to be apprehensive about haha. But I think there are other people who have it worse if not there wouldn't be so many articles on the internet about how to answer Chinese New Year questions. This week's episode was inspired by a friend of mine who shared publicly on social media about her "failure" in the creative industry. This courage to openly talk about it and then to restart again really inspired me. The over glossy version of success as seen in the media is a little bit bland. The way they write make their subjects seem like super-humans. But reading the struggles on personal platforms of people who fall and then watching them pick themselves up again is what encourages me. Their courage is contagious, their resilience uplifting. In this podcast session, we break down why we hate the "CNY questions" so much and talk about what failure really means and to look at it from a different lens. We also take a look at the intention behind the quest for success and that being intentional of what you want out of life and not what other people tell you to want out of life affects the decisions you make in life and ultimately affects whether or not the results of your quest for a particular kind of success will bring you fulfilment and joy.How to set your own yard stick for success?1. Identify your purpose in life or what you want out of life? Or what kind of impact you want from your life? It helps to write what you wish would be said of you at your funeral. Then work your way backwards from that.2. Understand your value system. What are your values?What are the principles or values in life that you feel very strongly about. Knowing your values help you to make the right decisions when you reach a fork in the road.3. What makes you happy? What moments do you feel fulfilled?Identifying the moments where you felt happiest and then breaking down why you enjoyed those moments will help you to identify the things you should truly value in life. Many times you will be told what to value, and our eyes often lust after pretty shiny things that are not in line with what actually makes us the most happiest but knowing what makes you most fulfilled helps you to withstand temptations to veer from your path.Book Mentioned:How the Mighty Fall, Jim Collins (click / available in library)

We talk about how despite pursuing our dreams, we still encounter struggles and what to do in the face of fear. We also talk about what to do with our weaknesses, David DeGea, some old tales of my photography journey and The Martian. Are there any struggles you faced while pursuing your dreams?Or were there any weaknesses that may have stumped you from obtaining your goals?I'd love to hear from you guys!

The very day we recorded this interview, Rachel and all spontaneity called me on a trip with her and Angela to Bhutan and that's where I went the past week and didn't have enough time to finish editing the podcast. Came back, nursed food poisoning, put together the projects for the trip and Ken helped to finish up the rest of the podcast. It's finally ready! A long wait, but an exciting start to our Voyage. Hope you guys enjoy the podcast and let me know what you would like to hear more in our future episodes. Thank you for listening!
