3 Deep Insecurities We Have and 3 Powerful Steps to Overcome Them Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Our insecurities are a reflection of how we view ourselves and how we take people’s comments about us. If we let comments and thoughts that aren’t our own dictate how we live our lives, we will only end up with deeper insecurities.

The more we let other people’s thoughts and opinions affect our own decisions and how we see ourselves, we become blind to who we really are and the potential buried deep within us. We can not let these words continue to decide for us.

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty tells us how to find our own voice and turn these insecurities into stepping stones for healing and self-improvement.

6 Ways to Stop Listening to People's Opinions & Take Control of Your Life Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

When we can’t decide on something or make an important decision about something big in our lives, we often seek advice from others. We ask for people’s opinions on what they would do if they were in the same situation and how they would go about resolving the issue at hand.

And as we listen to their opinions, we get a sense of enlightenment, a sense of direction. And most of us often tend to listen to what they have to say. But sometimes other people’s opinions don't offer the best help simply because these opinions were given without thinking of the consequences it will have on our lives.

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty talks about the types of advice we can seek from others to help us handle difficult situations but also learn how to make small decisions on our own.

Key Takeaways:

00:00 Intro
04:10 Stop listening to other people’s opinions
08:33 When people’s opinions started to affect you less
14:06 Type #1: It is a projection of the other person’s own limitations and possibilities
17:51 Type #2: Ask if you need some care
18:29 Type #3: Consistent catch ups
19:02 Type #4: Go for character
20:47 Type #5: People’s thoughts don’t affect your reality unless you allow it
23:15 Type #6: Trust your intuition with small things
