There's beauty in this chaotic modern life

The late great American poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen once said: “If you don’t become the ocean you'll be seasick every day.”

In this uncertain age where the world of work and society are shifting rapidly through the breakneck speed of Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) advances and how it’s morphing our jobs, I find these words are becoming eerily relevant, especially for the youth who feel vulnerable to peer pressure and comparisons.

They may start doubting their passions to pursue “cushy jobs” that even aren’t spared the threat of retrenchments. It only takes one lonesome evening doom-scrolling and you'll find yourself drenched in endless clips of influencers, giving advice on relationships, fashion, your diet or offering you financial tips to catapult your salary.

This habit can become pernicious as we think we lack fulfilment in our careers, love lives and physique and start to loathe the present time.
