Jay Shetty: Be Everything You Are, Not Anything You Want
WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPRESS?
We are constantly trying to be what we’re not.
We’re trying to look like someone else, perform like someone else, or spend our time in ways that make other people happy.
This is an exhausting way to live.
Like Einstein says, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
You are the most powerful when you’re tapped into what makes you unique.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’m sharing a Summit of Greatness presentation from a former monk and master storyteller: Jay Shetty.
Jay Shetty is an award-winning host, storyteller and viral content creator. Since launching his video channel in 2016, Jay’s viral wisdom videos have garnered over 1 billion views and gained over 3 million followers globally.
He explains the three lies that people tell us and why it’s much more important to listen to your opinions than anyone else’s.
If you take the time to write, reflect, and learn about yourself, you can learn to celebrate what makes you great. No one will be able to hold you back once you do.
