Finding Purpose and Service
According to Jay Shetty, happiness is derived from daily habits and a deeper purpose. He emphasizes the importance of finding one's passion and using it in the service of others. It is not enough to simply excel at something for personal gain or success; true happiness comes from using one's skills, passion, and energy to make a positive difference in other people's lives.
Flow State and Continuous Growth
Jay Shetty discusses the concept of the flow state, where one's skills and challenges are in balance. When your skills surpass the challenges, you can feel bored and unfulfilled, while feeling overwhelmed and disconnected when the challenges are too great. Shetty encourages individuals to constantly assess whether they need to improve their skills or broaden their challenges to find the right balance. Additionally, he suggests three key components for creating happiness: learning something new, launching something, and loving something, all of which contribute to a sense of growth and fulfillment.
In this moment, the podcaster, author, and life coach, Jay Shetty discusses how he believes people can find happiness. Jay says that it can be found in two forms, the sort of happiness that comes from daily habits and a more enriching happiness that arises out of deeper purposes. While most of us know what we can do for our daily happiness levels, deeper happiness that comes from finding our meaning and purpose in life is more complicated and vague. However, for Jay this deeper happiness comes from locating your passion, and more than just finding what you love, using this passion in the service of others, as this brings the most enriching happiness in life.
