How to live a meaningful life

This is the story of my client who fought bravely against cancer. Despite all the hardships, he led a meaningful life, and even left a legacy for others to be courageous.

“We cannot control the things that happen to us on the outside. We can control how we choose to react and deal with it emotionally, mentally, or spiritually” – Shaun Lim

Very often in life we take things for granted, as we bustle along with our many work and family responsibilities.
Sometimes we forget that life is so fragile, and loved ones will be gone one day.

Leaving a legacy is not only in monetary terms, it can also be how you selflessly cared for others, or became an inspiration to others. Apart from monetary contributions, there are other ways you could create a legacy.

How to live a meaningful life

• Creating memories in videos / photos
• Contributing to a cause
• Inspiring others with your selfless dedication
• For those with children, impart your values to help them navigate crucial choices: what would my dad/mom do?
• Setting up a trust to benefit future generations and charitable organisations

Let’s live our life with purpose!

Winnie Chan is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and MDRT Court of the Table qualifier (top 5% of advisers) with 15 years of experience in financial advisory services.

She specialises in helping doctors and high-income professionals build sustainable passive income, protect what they’ve worked for, and create a financial legacy for the people they love. Working across different insurers and investment platforms, Winnie focuses on finding the right fit for each client — not the other way around.

Her experience supporting clients through insurance claims has helped families access the financial protection they planned for, providing peace of mind during life’s most challenging moments.

Winnie was recognised as a Top 5 Weighted Premium producer at Financial Alliance in 2025 — out of close to 500 advisers — and received industry-level recognition for Top 3 Single Premium category Insurer award.

She has also brought financial education to organisations including Carousell Group, Singapore National Eye Centre, and Singtel.

Outside of work, Winnie stays active through regular gym workouts and is an accomplished pianist — recently attaining ABRSM Piano Performance Grade 6 (Merit).
She believes balance matters in finances, and in life.
