Sick & Tired Of Being A CBD Zombie?

Sick & Tired Of Being A CBD Zombie?

I was in Raffles Place last week and I felt really closed in by a ton of people rushing about me.

 

If you’ve attended my events or watched my videos before, you might have heard me describe them as ‘CBD Zombies’.

Each Zombie looks more or less the same as the next one.

These Zombies happen to walk quite fast, but you know, they’re just dragging their feet to work.

They’re bored, uninspired, disengaged.

Devoid of any sign of creative life.

The first wave lumbers from MRT station to workplace at 9.30am.

The second wave slumbers from workplace to MRT station at 6.00pm (some much later).

They do it Monday to Friday, 52 weeks a year.

Some do it until they retire and collect their CPF/pensions.

 

Many aren’t happy about it, but they don’t know what other options there are.

But ya know, on paper, these guys look really awesome.

They hold prestigious positions in banks, financial institutions, law firms, accounting firms, business management, executive panels, etc..

They’ve ticked all the right boxes that society set up for “studying hard” and “getting a good job”

They’ve followed the game, they’re on their way to living the Dream of the office job, the private residence, kids in prestigious schools…

But in reality, so many… so many, feel like CBD Zombies on the inside.

 

Do you resonate?

 

Maybe It’s Time to Be Human

I’m not putting down the credit nor the hard work that you’ve put in for your achievements and success in your career so far.

But, I hear more and more from my students and clients that they no longer find meaning and purpose in pursuing the next promotion or the next bigger paycheck.

Almost no one says, “This is what I want to do for the rest of my life”

How then, does one find that sweet spot that’s a confluence of abilities, purpose and income?

 

You need to know:

  • What natural skills and talents you possess
  • How those skills can find a useful context in society
  • For whom such a service can make a positive difference
  • How to design a career that effectively delivers this and make an income from it

 

Maybe It’s Time to Be Human

My student body is filled with people who started out as CBD Zombies.

Today, they’re a diverse bunch of expressive people doing their own crazy thing. There’s an aerial artist, a couple of death doulas, a few relationship coaches, a handful of astrologers, some moved overseas to do humanitarian projects, many holistic practitioners, some have written books, many are moving projects in social work and personal development etc.

So far, to my knowledge, no one has actually starved and died.

Strangely enough, their exit from CBD Zombiehood has made them come alive.

They have ideas, they have communities, they have a livelihood, they have people to serve, they have places that need them, they have skills to contribute, they have causes to fight for.

They have a glow on their face.

 

What role does astrology play in this?

It’s simple, really.

Your astrology chart tells you who you are. What you’re good at, what you care about, who you care about, what areas of life draw your attention, how you like things done, what you think is authentic, what you think is bullshit.

It’s like receiving a dossier on a unique human with character traits, places to be, missions to accomplish.

Ways to be useful to society.

It describes you. Not what courses are available at university, not what jobs are hiring, not what career your parents want you to choose. Just you.

Then the next step is just to… be you.

 

Discover Yourself In Your Astrology Chart

To do this, there’s 2 options:

 

1) Seek a Consultation to set your plans in action

If you already have options in your mind, and need a straight, no-nonsense consultation to make a clear decision, set out an action plan, then a consultation is the right choice. For a specific forecast of the next 18 months, choose the Timeline option.

 

2) Learn to Read Your Own Chart

If you’re the type who prefers to see and discover for yourself, choose the course instead. Get clarity on what the various components in your chart mean, how to put a personality profile together, and how to apply it in your life. No prior astrology knowledge required.

In the programme, you can expect to:
– Get to the heart of your true personality, strengths & weaknesses
– Identifying your natural skills and strengths to adapt to your career & work
– Your expression and communication styles
– Defining the kind of contributions and value you can provide to serve others and your community
– Identify the roles you naturally prefer, aligned to your purpose and fulfilment
– Understand the areas of life you are naturally inclined to
– Obtain the skill to interpret & build a basic astrological profile
