My Birthday Episode: 12 Lessons I've Lea...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Each year is a new year to develop new skills and acquire more knowledge.

We also discover more things about ourselves and learn new lessons along the way.

In this birthday episode special, I'm sharing with you some of the biggest personal and professional reflections in the past 12 months. Our relationships greatly influence our well-being so it's crucial to surround ourselves with individuals who uplift and support us. Our bodies are our most essential assets, and nurturing them is a fundamental responsibility. 

In reality, even with the purest of intentions, there will always be individuals who seek to undermine or criticize us.  It encourages resilience in the face of negativity and a focus on staying true to one's path. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The importance of self-care
  • How to stay grounded
  • How to love yourself more
  • Being perfect isn't required when helping others
  • How to serve others with gratitude

These valuable life lessons provide a roadmap for personal growth, resilience, and a meaningful life. They serve as reminders of the beauty and complexity of human existence, encouraging us to learn and evolve.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
