As a Chinese girl who came to Canada from Hong Kong when I was 11. I never thought I’d stand on global stages to speak, let alone winning an international speaking competition. I also get to work with Asian Women as a Life Coach. When I see them getting a clear vision of who they are, and they become unafraid to live how they want, it brings me so much joy!
And all of these were possible because I chose me. You see, on this one night in 2015…
"If you love mom, then let go of the relationship."
If I love mom…? As if in a movie, two roads lit up in front of me.
On one side, I let go of my dream, my family was happy, and yet… I plunged into darkness. On the other side, I chose the love of my life, yet my heart was shred to pieces as I watched my family walk away.
I stood there at the forked road.... Time stood still.
And yet, a part of me became clear. If other people walk away, I have to let them go. If I make the wrong choice, I take responsibility for it. If I fail, I get up, dust myself off and keep going.
I had to bet on myself.
So I chose me. It wasn't a walk in the park, but I had the right people walking alongside me, believing in me. Looking back, I realized how that choice had shaped me into the person I am today. It built my courage and resilience to create possibilities in my life
That is why I am passionate to work with Chinese and other Asian women, because most of us were never allowed to choose freely.
Most of us believe that obeying others equates to respect, or sacrificing our desires equates to love. And along the way, we gave up our dreams, and ourselves. I want Asian women to have an opportunity to get to know who they truly are, to develop their own courage, so they can choose to live a fulfilling life just the way they want.
