It’s good that you are not in a hurry. The thing I always ask my Gen Y colleagues is: why are you in such a hurry to accomplish? I’m in my 40s and satisfied not having it figured out haha.

Sharing a timeless quote by Baz Luhrmann: Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you wanna do with your life; the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.

Of course, you owe it to yourself to sharpen your self-awareness - and I’m not suggesting that you should lie back and wait for life to happen to you haha

I think the best way to find out the authentic you, your inner core is to live and work overseas. My time on the Japan Exchange Teaching program pulled away all the blinders from the consciousness. I felt stripped down to my essence. I didn’t know Japanese well; I was unfamiliar with the rules, both spoken and unspoken. I was also refreshingly away from the sociocultural norms of my home country. Every day as I tried to build my life, I got to ask myself what I truly cared about and believed in. I got to examine if I am a unique individual or a run-of-the-mill product of my culture. Fun times!
