"Choices - of how to spend time, energy, resources and attention (ideally) reflect a(n) (deep) understanding of values (what one values, what is important). Insight into this is developed iteratively through experience, reflection and feedback (instruction, training, working together with others, and coaching).
A journey (of a thousand mile)s is composed of many steps, and is taken one step at a time. Each step cumulatively adding to previous ones. Choose a (your) destination (well, with awareness and insight). Take the first step. And keep adding to this. Regularly and periodically pause, self-check (to confirm values and motivation underpinning (your) destination choice remain the same, and that the external situational and environmental factors remain supportive and aligned), then continue your journey. Course correcting as and when required." - Poh-Sun Goh, 23 January 2023, 0533am, Monday
“Choose (wisely, with insight and awareness - from iterative self-reflection arising from active living and life choices, feedback - from community - and coaching) where you allocate and spend your time, energy and resources, on what-with whom-and in what geographic and social/institutional environments. Your choices become and ’are’ your life.” Poh-Sun Goh, 0945am, Singapore time, Tuesday, 24 January 2023
“You’re the sum of your choices. You’re exactly who, what and where you choose to be in life.”

"Less is More"
"The final shortcut to lasting happiness is to evolve the lifestyle you and your partner want. This requires a harmonious balance between your work life, your home life, and social life. It means you live where you want to work, have the quality of life that you want, have time to attend to family and social affairs, and are equally happy at work and outside it." - Richard Koch, Chapter 15, The Seven Habits of Happiness, from "The 80/20 Principle: The Secret of Achieving More with Less", 1st edition, 1998, Doubleday, New York

Insights from Coaching, Being Coached and From Personal Experience and Reflection
Poh-Sun Goh, Sunday, 16 April 2023, 0756am, Singapore Time
Life is lived in your body, relationships, environment and tasks. Nature and Nurture. Genetics and Environment. Attention, Awareness and Choices.
Shaped by Intention, and demands of your body (e.g. in health and illness), and your environment (e.g. roles, relationships, climate and weather, challenges and tasks; what you work on - as an occupation, vocation and passion). Integrated and constantly Evolving over time, through Growth, and Maturation (Aging well or not).
Choices made, international and unconscious habits, and demands of your body (e.g. hunger and thirst, what you are ‘hungry for’) and environment shape the quality of your life. In the moment, and cumulatively adding up over time. What you put into your body, what you do ‘with’ your body, and mind; in your roles, responsibilities and relationships; fundamentally shape your life. Both personal and professional.
Exercise. Work. Rest. Recharge. Renew. Read. Reflect. Keep learning. Keep challenging yourself. Stay curious. Take intentional and strategic pauses. Keep growing. Embrace stillness and activity. Silence and speech. Listen and observe. Explore. Repeat. Find your rhythm and rhyme. Live within, and without. Embrace and do the Inner and External Work. Then Rest, Renew, Reflect, Reflect, and Re-engage.
