Actress, TV host and most recently, writer, Belinda Lee talks about her close relationship with her mum, who passed on recently, and how she stays positive in life.
Belinda Lee is one of the most inspiring celebrities we know. From her heart-warming info-ed TV programmes to her never-say-die attitude and her deep, abiding love for her late mum, she’s a ray of hope to those around her.
Fresh from releasing her book Larger than Life: Celebrating the Human Spirit, which chronicles some of the people she’s met during her travels for her TV shows, Belinda says it is not difficult to live each day with gratitude and happiness.
Empowering Others
“These inspiring people in my book have something in common – they carry an air of greatness which stems from love and humility. From them, and the ups and downs I’ve experienced in my life, I’ve learnt that you don’t need to have a lot to be happy,” she says.
Her goal: “Be someone who takes pride and has integrity in what you do for a living – someone who lives life with passion, meaning and purpose. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a hotel owner or a student, we all have the ability to do something great in our lifetime.”
The 38-year-old, who is also an ambassador for beauty brand Astalift, hopes that by recounting her experiences in her book, she can sow the seeds of hope in others, especially those going through a rough patch in life. Foremost in her mind is to be an encouragement to someone else who’s also experiencing hardship.
“If, through these stories, I am able to save someone from killing himself, I’ve done my part as a human being.”
