STOP ADJUSTING YOUR SUCCESS ft. Christine | E21
The Insight Out
01/26/25 • 28 min
🧧 Have you ever heard how we appreciate others' success only as much as we appreciate ours? This concept holds particular significance among second-generation Filipino immigrants residing in Hong Kong, who grapple with the ingrained sense of 'utang na loob' towards their parents. Navigating the delicate balance between honoring their expectations of what a life with success should entail and pursuing one's personal aspirations can be daunting.
"Yes, Career is important. But family and friends and the relationships we build, are what make life more colourful." (Vicera, 2025)
🌟 Christine received an offer for a Ph.D. program at an overseas university, and this marked a milestone for her. We highlighted the instances she felt compelled to 'dim her light' and her newfound decision to abandon that restraint towards success. This episode delves into the intricate interplay of cultural identity, relationship dynamics, and self-imposed beliefs that constrain our potential, urging us to cultivate our success by nurturing our inner light.
