How to live and adopt a Purpose-Driven Life

如何擁抱及活出目的導向人生

~ Introduction / 介紹 ~

Three years ago, I began a journey that changed everything. It wasn’t a perfect journey—but it was real, raw, and deeply transformative. Raising my daughter and son, navigating unexpected changes, and rediscovering what truly matters helped me create a framework that I now live by—and share with love.

This is not just a list of principles. It is a way of life, rooted with truth, kindness and beauty. Here, I share the 6 pillars that help me align my life with purpose and peace. Whether you’re in a season of confusion or clarity, I hope this offers you a compass—a way to return to your own desired state, and live it with courage.

三年前，我踏上了一段徹底改變人生的旅程。這段旅程並不完美，卻真實、誠懇，而且深具轉化力。在陪伴女兒及兒子成長、面對生活變化的同時，我重新找回了「什麼才是重要的」，也因此建立出我至今仍努力實踐的六大支柱。

這不只是一份原則清單，它是一種生活方式，一種以善良、行動與信仰為根基的生命態度。

在這篇文章中，我將分享這六個支柱，它們幫助我活出使命、走向平靜。無論你現在處在人生的迷惘或清晰階段，我都希望這能成為你的指南針，幫助你回到自己理想的狀態，並有勇氣走下去。
