The Pathless Path

What is my path? Which career path should I choose? Should I change my career path?

These questions are commonly asked by our clients who come to us for career advice.

The default career path - the one that most of us have been following since graduation - is no longer leading us to desirable places. This path was constructed by the narratives that our school, parents and friends told us. But as our economy and environment change, our narratives about career should also change too.

The alternative is what we call the pathless path. This path is constructed by figuring out who you are, finding work that matters to you and doing it intentionally. This way of walking your path is challenging, because we human beings crave certainty. But it's definitely more rewarding than walking the pre-constructed path that our everyone else wants you to walk on, with their own agenda.

As there's increasingly more uncertainty in our economy and environment, the earlier we embark on our pathless path, the better we will be.

If you face any issues with your career direction or any workplace issues, remember you can always reach out to us.

With love, from your Inner Friend,

Li Xuan, Kai Ning and Audrey

On some days, you feel like a hamster, constantly running in the hamster wheel, chasing after your goals. When you achieved them, you feel that something is missing and you're don't...

Forget the new year goals. Find flow instead. In the book "The Surrender Experiment" by Michael Singer, an American author and former software developer, after a mini enlightenment as a student, Singer dedicates his life to meditation, yoga, and “surrendering to the flow of the universe.” Every time he faces a big decision or problem, when he feels fear, ego, and resistance creeping up, he practices “letting go” and “nonresistance, whether I liked what was happening or not.” Rather than his...

It’s the time of the year again... Many talk about new year resolutions, but most give up by February or March. Life got “busy” and goals were forgotten. Or you tried, but you didn’t persevere because it was difficult. Or perhaps you lost motivation along the way. What can you do to achieve your goals? The best goals start with “Why”. Once you know your “Why”, the “How” and “What” are easy. Join us in this online live meditation on finding and connecting with your “Why”. Start the year strong...
