What if purpose isnโt something we find before taking the next step, but something we discover along the way?
At our ๐ฃ๐๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ: ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒโ๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ก๐ฒ๐
๐ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป on 25 July, we had the privilege of hearing from three inspiring panelists Angie Chew, Sherman Ho, Celine Chung, who had each taken very different paths before starting Brahm Centre Ltd, Happiness Initiative, and being an assisted living & wellness consultant respectively.
Their stories reminded us of a few things:

Keep learning, upskilling and connecting with others. Curiosity and having a sense of adventure keeps us open to unexpected discoveries.

Purpose may not always be clear at the start. Sometimes, we need to take the plunge, try something new and in that process discover what truly matters to us

Transitions rarely come with a clear map. As some doors close, others open. What matters is having the courage to step forward, while taking care of our physical and emotional wellbeing along the way. One speaker spoke of โque sera seraโ mindset (whatever will be will be) in trusting the journey that comes.
The conversation, facilitated by Tan Weng Mooi, invited questions from the audiences on how to navigate the unknown, and what happiness genuinely means across different seasons of life.
One insight stayed with us: ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ปโ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ ๐๐ถ๐๐น๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐. Allow space for explore other sides of us, moving away from achievement and external validation towards a deeper sense of peace, gratitude and fulfilment.
Perhaps that is what navigating a new chapter is really about: ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐

๐ธ๐ฌ As we celebrate National Day, we also want to celebrate the people who stepped forward to build this community together - our PEASE Co-Creators Minyi for putting together the learnings above, Evelyn for the pictures, Grace, Victor, Lai Yee hosting as our table facilitators, Elsie with the registration and many others. It takes the contribution of every person to bring out the colours of this community.
