On Purpose with Jay Shetty

NOTE

The Importance of Taking Action and Learning from Others on Social Media

Engagement with social media can lead to two distinct mindsets: one focused on criticism and the other on active learning and growth. Many people tend to spend time comparing themselves unfavorably to others, often criticizing those they perceive as performing poorly instead of leveraging those comparisons to learn and improve. This highlights a crucial decision point in life—whether to be a passive commentator in the stands or an active participant on the court. Taking action is essential; it’s about pursuing one’s dreams rather than succumbing to self-doubt. Remaining idle while watching others achieve can erode self-confidence and personal potential, further contributing to feelings of imposter syndrome. Rather than adopting a 'fake it till you make it' approach, it is more empowering to adopt a mindset of practical engagement—'I will try until I make it.' This shift in perspective emphasizes the significance of effort and the pursuit of one's goals over the pain of inaction, which is ultimately more detrimental to personal happiness and success.
