How To Make The 4 Most Important Decisio...

About this episode

If you are at a crossroad and can't seem to decide what to do next, then this episode is for you. 

When you're stuck and are still trying to find your purpose, you're in the right place. 

I am so excited to share with you the conversation I had with Anas Bukhash, a Dubai native motivational speaker. He is a notable figure in the UAE's entrepreneurial and motivational landscape.

It is truly enlightening when a conversation doesn't just focus on finding love and how to be in service to others, but also touches on how we can rise from making bad choices in life. 

Anas has laid out some of the most challenging yet motivating questions where I talk about why we shouldn't pass along the generational trauma we picked up from our parents and the good and bad side of our ego. Yes, ego can be beneficial when we learn to acknowledge that success is a team effort. 

On to the topic of my personal journey, I open up about how I dealt with loss and grief, the pivots I had made that completely changed the trajectory of my life, and overcoming the adversaries that came with it. 

What's the biggest lesson I've learned to this day? The truth that happiness can't be forced. It comes naturally when you know how to love yourself by staying healthy. 

Today, you will learn:

- How to live a life of purpose

- The important choices we make that greatly impacts our goals

- How to deal with the loss of a loved one or friend

- The level of emotional mastery we need to develop

- How to use ego to your advantage

- The truth about generational trauma

- The real definition of genuine love

Don't miss this life changing conversation that revolves around personal growth, healing, and making better life choices.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
