Introducing The Happiness Planner

Background

About 2 years ago I started a blog called BrandMentalist which has become my friend for personal growth and inspiration. I keep quotes I see and like on it. I jot down little inspiring thoughts I have on it. I elaborate my thoughts, analysis, and understanding of humans and life on it.

As the blog grew to attract more readers, I wanted to have a bigger impact on the world and people.

“I want to inspire people on the bigger scale. I want to inspire people to live with a purpose and passion driven life, and to find happiness from within.”

Growing up with a pessimist Mother and having had life partners who had difficult personalities, I learned to deal with negative energy trying to wrap itself around me. Luckily, my father is an optimist who sparked my interest in psychology. He is my life mentor who introduced me to the practices of positive thinking, mindfulness, and self-improvement at a very young age. Hence, this has inspired me to want to help people become more positive and mindful because I know that life is not easy. More often than not, we cannot change other people and their attitudes. What we can change is ourselves.

As Buddhism becomes more and more popular in Western culture, I am reminded of what I unconsciously learned while growing up. Suddenly the concepts that Buddhism and monks teach you become cool. When you grow up in a Buddhist country like Thailand, you didn’t pay much attention to monks’ preaches. Meditation is part of school curriculum and everyone always tells you to stay calm and relax whenever you’re angry or in a rush. Plus, the meaning of happiness to a Buddhist is a peace of mind.

I moved to Australia over 7 years ago to pursue my degree in Business with a few electives in Psychology. More and more I become deeply passionate about inspiring others and want to merge it with my other passions which are marketing, branding, and design.
