  • The more you pack, the less you belong

    As most Asian developed cities get densely crowded, vertical housing &  matchbox living has become a way of life; the cost of owning things has become higher. People invest more in storage systems than in setting or bedding systems.

    Moments over material

    Wonder how long it would take us to realize that one needs less to thrive. One can focus more when there is less clutter and that simple living can indeed lead to higher thinking.

  • Avoid or Embrace

    Obviously avoidance strategy works best. Whether it’s a pesky person, sticky situation or unpleasant memories, it’s easier to avoid that path and gradually push them out of your memory and lives.

    Look for the silver linings

    The harder path is to embrace, internalize and register the goodness. This makes the recall pleasant as you can train your mind to keep the memorable details and skip the rest. Easier said than done, try journaling the two side by side and you’ll be surprised by your resilience and strength.
