As humans, the pursuit of change and progress is something that is innate to every one of us. Like it or not, there will always be things in life that we hope could be a little different, a little better in the way that daily situations & events turn out. It could be in the way we think, speak, or the way we handle everything from our finances to our relationships with others. We seek to become better -- and we should. As we strive to continuously exceed our potential, we rise above all previous versions of ourselves and grow stronger. In this issue, we look at some ways in which we can embrace a better self and an even better future.

The Relentless Pursuit of Improvement

It is no secret that I believe growth is the only guarantee that tomorrow will be better. It is no mystery that I think personal growth is the steppingstone to success for any leader. If you or I want to stay in front of the curve and lead others, then we must do the work that keeps us out front. We must continually improve. But as I seek to improve, there is one thing I know not to chase, and that is perfection. Perfection is a trap. Do not chase perfection as a leader - chase improvement. Make today better than yesterday so tomorrow can be better than today. The relentless pursuit of improvement will take any leader far.

I used to be jealous of other people's wealth and success - here is how I finally got over it

Envy. It is an emotion that we all feel at some point. It is also a really dangerous emotion when we are trying to build a strong financial life. Envy is pure poison to a healthy financial life. After all, envy encourages us to make some pretty poor decisions. Like every other character flaw, however, envy can be overcome. You can directly reduce the envy itself, or you can at least reduce the bad choices you make as a result of envy. Here are seven strategies I use to cut envy out of my own life.

Lim Jun Jie. SIT SIE(BS) Student

I met Yu Hong during my national service days. Despite his heavy duty as a commander, he always spends time listening to his team's concerns and working towards our goals together. Thus, I trust him and his services. We had a few financial advisory sessions, and I feel he always tries his best to understand my situation and challenges before advising me. Not only does he has vast financial knowledge, he often simplifies them for me, making sure that I fully understand the available options. I truly appreciate that he is transparent and not pushy, which made me feel comfortable throughout our sessions. Most importantly, he always checks in with me to make sure I am living well, if I'm on track toward my goal, and offers me his help whenever I need them. I feel reassured and motivated to have his help.
