INSIGHT

Creating Calm

Create peace and calm within yourself instead of seeking it externally.
External factors like the stock market or political climate shouldn't dictate your inner peace.

ANECDOTE

Unconventional Path

Jay Shetty's career options were doctor, lawyer, or failure, but he chose the monk path.
After experimenting with both finance and monk life, he found the latter more fulfilling.

ADVICE

Selfless Service

Practice selfless service by doing things for others without expecting anything in return.
True service is about giving to those who can't reciprocate, not for personal gain.
