Small Book with a Big Idea: Key to a Fulfilling Life: Self-Awareness

We all want to be happy and lead a fulfilling life. I wrote this book because I believe self-awareness is essential to accomplish all we hope for in our lifetime. You can cultivate it when you realize its power. We all have it, One of the biggest challenges I faced since the day I was born is what does it mean to be an Asian American living in America, especially at a time when there were so few. My race forced me be to become more self-aware of who I am, and, in this journey, I became more rooted in my humanity and developed my spiritual dimension that we all have. My book opens up with this poem and quote:

Are you greater than the sun

that shines on everyone:

Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, and White,

the sun does not discriminate.

“Dare to be as great as the sun. Dare to shine on everyone.”

I wrote this poem in 1978 in a personal journal. I did not realize it would change my life and put me on a path that required self-awareness, humility, courage and extraordinary patience and perseverance.

I share stories, poems, ask thought-provoking questions about biases to invite you to think about this issue that impact your life at work and in the community. All humans have unconscious biases. Prejudices and biases are just one of many life's challenges. You cannot get through life without difficulties and adversities. The bigger the problems, the bigger the growth. An essential key to finding your right path and leading a fulfilling life is self-awareness. We all have this ability. When we become conscious of this and apply it to every part of our life we can overcome fears, make better decisions especially those that are life changing, become more focused and in some cases go through dramatic changes that will bring you more love, joy and meaning to your life.
