Mel Robbins ON: Letting Go of Negative Thoughts & Redirecting Your Energy to Self Transformation

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

NOTE

Are You in the Stands or on the Court?

The key message is about the metaphorical concept of being in the stands as a spectator criticizing or feeling jealous of others in the game, or being on the court actively pursuing your dreams and goals. The idea emphasizes the importance of taking action rather than just observing or making excuses. It highlights how being in the stands, representing self-doubt and criticism, actively hinders confidence and happiness. The analogy discourages the notion of 'fake it till you make it' and instead encourages continuous efforts towards achieving one's goals. The snippet stresses that dwelling in self-doubt and avoiding opportunities inflicts more pain than the risks of trying and failing. Ultimately, it conveys that one's dreams persist within and numbing out or avoiding them only intensifies inner turmoil and longing.
