  • Redefining Success and Happiness
    Jul 4 2024

    Today I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: success and happiness.

    In this episode, I talk about redefining success and happiness. I share my personal journey of realizing that ticking off traditional milestones like grades, promotions, and accolades doesn't always lead to genuine happiness. Instead, I explore how true fulfillment comes from within and how we can balance external achievements with internal contentment.

    I also discuss the immense pressure from our cultural backgrounds, where success is often synonymous with academic and professional excellence. This episode delves into the importance of self-awareness, the value of mental health, and the role of community support systems in our overall well-being.
