Mummy, It's time for HangbokTV
Hi, I am Dr. Hyunjung Son. I am the author of the book "Happiness is science"
Dr. Son's Happy TV
Where are you living right now?
Have you left your home town or are living in a new city?
Have you left your home country and are living abroad?
Thanks to globalization, many people are living abroad.
I am also expat South Korean.
So today I am going to talk about happiness for expats.
One of my friends moved to the countryside after marriage, although she grew up in a big city, Seoul.
One day, she asked me
"How can you live in a different country, when it's even difficult to live in a different city.
In fact, it's not easy to live in a different country.
Most of all, emotionally it is hard to live as an expat.
Are they ignoring me because of my accent?
Are they looking down on me because I am a foreigner?
Are my kids getting bullied by other kids, because my kids look different?
How often do you have such thoughts?
What do you feel, every time when you think that?
Are you angry? Are you feeling sorry for yourself?
Are you missing your home town?
Why do you think you are living abroad?
You would say, you are living abroad because of studying, working, or marriage.
However, that is a superficial reason.
Do you want to know the true reason why you are living abroad?
The true reason for being an expat is
finding your true self, by having many experiences abroad, that you otherwise couldn't have if you lived in your home country.
You haven't found your true self?
Your true-self is talking to you every moment, through emotions that you feel.
Whenever you feel drained, your true-self is talking to you to find the real purpose of your life.
Whenever you feel depressed, your true-self is talking to your heart, to find the real reason why you came to this country.
Nobody knows what I feel.
Even if you explain your feelings to someone in great detail, the other person could only guess how you really feel.
There is nobody who could feel exactly same way you feel inside.
Your feelings are the voice of your true-self.
Learn your feelings and emotions.
If you can understand your feelings, you can meet your true-self.
On the day you meet your true-self, you will realize that you are a passionate being with unlimited potential and ability.
Wake yourself up and embrace your passion in your life.
