On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Pursue passion and finding joy instead of setting goals

Engage in activities that bring joy and fulfillment rather than focusing on external validation or predefined success metrics. Emphasize deriving satisfaction from the processes of learning, sharing, and improving oneself, rather than fixating on specific goals such as popularity, monetary success, or recognition from peers. Understand that many traditional goals are arbitrary and not necessarily reflective of personal growth or value. Anchoring ambitions in what is within one's control leads to consistent fulfillment and a sense of achievement. The pursuit of joy through personal endeavors fosters intrinsic motivation, which can, as a byproduct, lead to unexpected successes. True happiness comes from the act of engaging with one's passions rather than a narrow focus on outcomes, which may not resolve underlying issues or desires.
