Are you in a life crisis where you are being pressured into committing to a life changing career that you aren't interested in? Is it making you question your future goals and the path you want to take? Then this episode can help you.

Today, we will explore the fundamental aspects of personal growth, purpose, and self-mastery that will ignite a fire within you.

I am overjoyed to share the conversation I had with Serbian professional tennis player Novak Djokovic. Beyond his on-court achievements, Djokovic is known for his resilience, mental toughness, and dedication to his craft.

Novak and I exchange thoughts and opinions on the hidden potential of repetition and reminders as we unravel the importance they hold in our lives, the profound truth that self-mastery is not a mere part-time endeavor but a lifelong commitment, and how self-awareness is a transformative journey that involves accepting not just who we are but also who we are not.

We also touch on my personal journey as a monk and how to unlock the transformative wisdom of the monk mindset as we explore the three fundamental aspects that define it.

In this interview, you will learn:

- The hidden potential of repetition and daily reminders

- How to navigate the pressures of societal expectations

- Why self-mastery is not a part-time endeavor

- How to navigate the pain and liberation of truly understanding our authentic selves

- How to find joy and fulfillment in doing what we genuinely love

- The positive effects of daily meditation

Don't miss this opportunity to embark on a transformative adventure of self-discovery, purpose, and resilience.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
