over to you Jay Shetty at 18 I was really fortunate when I met a monk and
really fortunate when I met a monk and this monk was invited to speak and I
this monk was invited to speak and I kind of just went because when my
kind of just went because when my friends forced me to at that time I was
friends forced me to at that time I was listening to CEOs and entrepreneurs and
listening to CEOs and entrepreneurs and business people and marketers who who I
business people and marketers who who I thought that’s what I was aspiring to be
thought that’s what I was aspiring to be like and then I hear this monk and he
like and then I hear this monk and he captivated me like no one had ever
captivated me like no one had ever captivated me before it was like staring
captivated me before it was like staring at the most beautiful woman on the
at the most beautiful woman on the planet you know I was completely fixated
planet you know I was completely fixated on him and his message see we live in
on him and his message see we live in echo chambers we’re just surrounded by
echo chambers we’re just surrounded by the same thinking how often do you bump
the same thinking how often do you bump into a monk you know it just doesn’t
into a monk you know it just doesn’t happen you don’t have no one has a
happen you don’t have no one has a dinner party and goes oh yeah we listen
dinner party and goes oh yeah we listen by the monk you know from a town like
by the monk you know from a town like the local monk like no one ever does
the local monk like no one ever does that and so you meet people who are just
that and so you meet people who are just like us most of the time and we talk
like us most of the time and we talk about this in business all the time if
about this in business all the time if you want to be a billionaire spend time
you want to be a billionaire spend time with billionaires if you want to be a
with billionaires if you want to be a millionaire spend time and millionaires
millionaire spend time and millionaires if you want to be a tech startup spend
if you want to be a tech startup spend time you know that’s that’s the common
time you know that’s that’s the common rhetoric that we hear all the time but
rhetoric that we hear all the time but what if you want to find a purpose and
what if you want to find a purpose and master the mind there’s no one better
master the mind there’s no one better than a monk who’s mastered the mind so
than a monk who’s mastered the mind so so for me the first step is just opening
so for me the first step is just opening yourself up to new experiences and new
yourself up to new experiences and new role models because most of us can’t see
role models because most of us can’t see ourselves in people so then we try and
ourselves in people so then we try and fit ourselves into the box
fit ourselves into the box is that we do see and and I mean there’s
is that we do see and and I mean there’s this beautiful quote that I’ve been
this beautiful quote that I’ve been saying it everywhere and I wish I wrote
saying it everywhere and I wish I wrote it but I didn’t so it’s by a philosopher
it but I didn’t so it’s by a philosopher and writer named Cooley and he said that
and writer named Cooley and he said that today I’m not what I think I am I’m not
today I’m not what I think I am I’m not what you think I am I am what I think
what you think I am I am what I think you think I am I understand that blow
you think I am I understand that blow your mind for me it’s a it’s so powerful
your mind for me it’s a it’s so powerful I’m not what I think I am I’m not what
I’m not what I think I am I’m not what you think I am I am what I think you
you think I am I am what I think you think I am so we live in this perception
think I am so we live in this perception of a perception of ourselves
of a perception of ourselves hence my identity is made by what my
hence my identity is made by what my parents think I should be my identity is
parents think I should be my identity is made up by what my college or university
made up by what my college or university thinks I should achieve while you’re
thinks I should achieve while you’re living in that bubble and that echo
living in that bubble and that echo chamber getting to what you really want
chamber getting to what you really want to do is impossible because maybe that
to do is impossible because maybe that just doesn’t fit and I think so many
just doesn’t fit and I think so many people feel that way today that they
people feel that way today that they don’t fit into the current education
don’t fit into the current education system they don’t fit with the three or
system they don’t fit with the three or four or five careers that you’re taught
four or five careers that you’re taught exist so that process of self excavation
exist so that process of self excavation and actualization first requires being
and actualization first requires being exposed you can’t be what you can’t see
exposed you can’t be what you can’t see if I never saw a monk I would never have
if I never saw a monk I would never have wanted to be a monk if I never meet a
wanted to be a monk if I never meet a billionaire I wouldn’t want to be one
billionaire I wouldn’t want to be one because I wouldn’t know what that feels
because I wouldn’t know what that feels like I don’t know what it looks like I
like I don’t know what it looks like I don’t know what it takes and and I think
don’t know what it takes and and I think that’s the biggest challenge of our
that’s the biggest challenge of our society that we’re not exposed so that’s
society that we’re not exposed so that’s the first step being exposed to unique
the first step being exposed to unique experiences and role models second step
experiences and role models second step is finding that experience or role model
is finding that experience or role model that you’re passionate about and exactly
that you’re passionate about and exactly like you said taking it seriously
like you said taking it seriously shadow their network with them spend
shadow their network with them spend time with them observe them even from
time with them observe them even from afar it takes that observation being
afar it takes that observation being addicted to observing that person’s
addicted to observing that person’s lifestyle and then the third step is
lifestyle and then the third step is growing yes or no does that work for me
growing yes or no does that work for me not everyone who’s gonna go off from
not everyone who’s gonna go off from become a monk is gonna feel like the way
become a monk is gonna feel like the way I did and that’s cool but not everyone
I did and that’s cool but not everyone is gonna go and follow and shadow a
is gonna go and follow and shadow a billion anger that’s exactly the
billion anger that’s exactly the lifestyle I want they may want the
lifestyle I want they may want the result but do they want the hard work
result but do they want the hard work that goes with it and so for me that’s
that goes with it and so for me that’s the third step its observing focusing
the third step its observing focusing shadowing getting as close to the
shadowing getting as close to the process of that individual and they
process of that individual and they going yes or no do I want that process
going yes or no do I want that process not do I want the result everyone wants
not do I want the result everyone wants to be that monk who’s fully enlightened
to be that monk who’s fully enlightened you know can walk through as an
you know can walk through as an incredible or that people just gravitate
incredible or that people just gravitate towards but when you realize he has to

really wrap your head around this when you realize that you think you know what
