      Success and winning can often give us a false sense of perfection, but in reality, we still have flaws.Everyone has 'monsters', or bad versions of themselves, which can be disguised in different ways.We can discover and pinpoint our monsters by being honest and true to who we are.Ego and expectations can cause our monsters to grow stronger, so we have to be aware of them.It is important to stay humble and transparent in order to save lives and be successful.Learning to tame our monsters is an important part of personal growth and development.

    • Can Difficult Memories from Childhood Lead to Self-Improvement?Taking the time to get to know ourselves better, understanding our true definition of happiness, and embracing growth and correction can lead to self-improvement in the face of difficult childhood memories.

      As a child, it's easy to become complacent and take the easy way out, but we should push ourselves to try our best and work hard.It's important to check our own behaviour and be honest with ourselves, even if that means admitting our mistakes.We should take the time to get to know ourselves better and understand our true definition of happiness.We should embrace the world of growth and correction, and understand that there is always room for improvement.Looking in the mirror should be a reminder that there are no trophies for our successes, and that we should be proud of ourselves for having the courage to be honest with ourselves.Difficult memories from childhood can have a huge impact on our lives, and it's important to be able to turn them into a positive.

    • Unlocking Success for the Future Through Hard Work, Understanding and EffortHard work, effort and understanding are essential for creating a successful future.

    • Unlocking the Power of Positive ChangeChange is essential to unlock the power of positivity and create healing.

      It is important to focus on solutions rather than problems.It is never too late to make a change and turn your life around.Don't focus on what you can't change and don't hold onto grudges.Actions can sometimes be more powerful than words.Giving your energy to something positive and life-changing can have unexpected rewards.It is not about us but about the bigger picture and how we can create healing.

    • Empowering the Future with Knowledge and Self-CareMaking conscious decisions to invest in knowledge and self-care can help ensure a brighter future for the next generation.

      Life is full of choices, and as adults, it's our responsibility to make the best ones to ensure a brighter future for the next generation.We have to pass on the baton correctly and make decisions which will help them have a better life than we had.Doing something positive, like learning, is a great way to make yourself feel productive and good.One Dream is an educational platform with access to a wide range of content so you can learn anything you want.Mental health is a priority, and it's important to take care of yourself and find ways to cope with life's struggles.Better Help is an online therapy platform which can help you get closer to the best version of yourself.

    • Letting Go of Unserving Feelings and Emotions for a Higher PurposeLook within to recognize the good in your life and use the mistakes of others to inform your decisions.

      It is important to be able to recognize when a feeling or emotion is no longer serving you, and have the courage and strength to let it go.In any relationship, when it is just about two people, they may have opposing views.When there is a higher purpose or value, people can start looking in the same direction.It is easy to compare yourself to others, and this can lead to being unhappy with your own life.It is important to recognize the good in your own life, and the mistakes that others have made.Sometimes the best wisdom comes from understanding what not to do, rather than what someone has said.

    • Embracing Challenges to Reach New HeightsDon't be afraid to take risks and try new things - with creativity, openness to learning, and perseverance, you can achieve anything.

      Take risks and try new things - don't be afraid to put yourself out there and try something new, even if it's outside of your comfort zone.Be creative - Have an open mind and come up with a lot of ideas, as the most simple things could lead to something big.Be a sponge - Listen to those around you, absorb all the information you can, and be ready to learn.Don't be afraid to fail - Failure is part of the journey and it's only through taking risks and trying new things that you can succeed.Aim high - Believe that you can achieve anything and set yourself big goals - don't limit yourself to one job or one thing.Persevere - Don't give up, even when things get tough. Put in the hard work and keep going until you reach your goals.

    • Breaking Barriers and Achieving Goals Through Education and KnowledgeSurround yourself with people who have different experiences and perspectives to help you grow and learn from failures in order to create generational wealth and opportunities for your family.

      There is more to life than just achieving a goal- the person you become on the journey is equally important.It is possible to break barriers and create something new, no matter your starting point.Education, knowledge and understanding are all key for growth.It is important to surround yourself with people who have different experiences and perspectives.Failures are part of the learning process but it is important to learn from them and keep going.Creating generational wealth and opportunities for your family can be a powerful motivator.

    • Achieving Success by Embracing Team EffortsSuccess is earned through collaboration and inclusiveness, so recognize the efforts of your team and be humble.

      Nothing is ever achieved alone.For success you need to surround yourself with good people and support them.It's important to recognize the efforts of your team and embrace them.Everyone has something to contribute and it's important to let them do their part.It's important to have a mindset of inclusiveness and collaboration.Success is earned and it is important to be humble and recognize the efforts of others.

    • Are We Prepared To Invest In Ourselves and Our Craft For Success?Believe in your abilities, take initiative to develop your skills and invest in yourself to reach your goals.

      We can all succeed together, instead of looking at each other as competitors.We should focus on our own goals and success rather than comparing ourselves to others.Being prepared and taking the initiative to develop our skills is key to success.Frustration is natural but it should not deter us from our journey.Having a sense of confidence and believing in our abilities is important.Taking the time to invest in ourselves and our craft is the way to reach our goals.

    • Celebrating The Friendship of Successful PeopleBelieve in yourself and challenge each other to bring out the best in your friendship.

      It is beautiful to witness the trust and friendship between successful people like Spielberg, George Lucas, and Tarantino.They showed each other their movies and gave each other feedback before launching them.They were confident in their own style and genre which made them successful.Kevin Hart and Chris Rock trust each other’s opinion and story which helps them to improve.They challenge each other and celebrate each other's success.This fraternity of successful people should be an example of friendship and positivity to the younger generation.

    • Celebrating Success and Learning from LossWe should recognize and celebrate our successes, and be understanding if we don't reach our goals.

      We can compete with each other and still be friends.There is a special atmosphere that is created when you are with people who are striving to be the best.At the end of the day, everyone was still friends and supported one another through their competition.We need to be able to recognize and celebrate our successes, even if we don't always reach our goals.It is important to not get too hard on ourselves when we miss the mark and understand that our successes may not happen again.Studies have shown that people who win bronze medals are actually happier than those who win silver, because they knew where they stood and were still happy with their result.

    • Achieving Success Through Mindful ProcessesStaying realistic and humble with expectations is key to achieving success, as it is important to focus on the process rather than obsess about the end results.

      We all want to succeed, but it is important to stay realistic and humble with our expectations.Trying to control the uncontrollable can lead to disappointment and hurt.It is important to focus on the process and celebrate the wins along the way.The success of a project or endeavor should not be completely tied to the end results.Being overly obsessed with the results can lead to an unhealthy obsession.It is important to be mindful of our reactions to the highs and lows of life, as it is all part of the journey.

    • Embracing Authenticity in the Face of FameKnowing yourself and being happy with who you are is essential to navigating the world of fame and achieving success.

      We are often tempted to ignore the mistakes and successes of others as if they are not real life.Fame is the biggest drug, because it makes one feel powerful and makes them think they can get everything they want.However, there is no handbook or guide to navigate the world of fame, so people can get overwhelmed when it suddenly appears.The key is to know yourself and be happy with who you are, so that when fame disappears you can still cope.Being honest and authentic is important, and even when we have achieved success, we should remember it can still change.Life is a journey and we need to take the time to discover who we truly are and become the best version of ourselves.

    Dr. Rahul Jandial: What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You & How to Know Which Dreams You Need to Pay Attention to

    Dr. Rahul Jandial: What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You & How to Know Which Dreams You Need to Pay Attention to

    Do you often remember your dreams?

     

    What was the last dream you can remember?

     

    Today, let's welcome Dr. Rahul Jandial. Rahul is a dual-trained brain surgeon and neuroscientist based at City of Hope in Los Angeles. He leads the Jandial Lab, which explores the intersection of neurobiology and cancer. Beyond his research, Dr. Jandial is dedicated to global health, performing pediatric neurosurgery in charity hospitals across South America and Eastern Europe. He is also the author of the book "This Is Why You Dream," which delves into the science and significance of dreaming.

     

    Jay and Rahul explore the significance of dreams and their impact on our lives, and that the brain is highly active during sleep, generating as much electricity as when awake. This activity suggests that dreaming is not a passive process but an essential function for the brain, helping it process and rehearse experiences, emotions, and creativity.

     

    There are common themes in dreams, such as nightmares, erotic dreams, and motifs like falling or being chased. Rahul highlights that these themes are linked to the brain's imaginative and emotional networks, which are more active during dreaming. Nightmares, for instance, play a crucial role in developing a sense of self and other in children, while in adults, they can indicate unresolved emotional issues or trauma. He also discusses the concept of lucid dreaming, where one becomes aware of dreaming and can exert some control over the dream narrative. 

     

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to enhance dream recall

    How to induce lucid dreaming

    How to utilize dreams for creative problem solving

    How to reduce nightmare in children

    How to cultivate positive morning thoughts 

    How to improve sleep quality for better dreams

     

    Embrace the power of your dreams to boost creativity and emotional well-being. Take the first step tonight for a healthier, more vibrant tomorrow!

    Why There’s No Such thing As the Right Person at the Wrong Time & Why Your Ex Was Never The One

    Why There’s No Such thing As the Right Person at the Wrong Time & Why Your Ex Was Never The One

    Do you believe in "right person, wrong time"?

    Do you have realistic expectations about dating?

    Today, Jay will discuss the popular notion of the "right person at the wrong time." He explains that this idea often stems from nostalgia, which can distort our memories by emphasizing the positive aspects of past experiences and minimizing the negatives. This romanticized view of the past can prevent us from addressing present realities and hinder our ability to form healthy relationships.

    Jay also talks about the various factors that influence relationships, such as a person's relationship status, goals, and healing journey. He argues that a person's current circumstances, such as being newly single or single for a long time, significantly shape who they are and their readiness for a relationship. Furthermore, in a healthy relationship, partners should respect and support each other's goals rather than expecting complete alignment. He also highlights the importance of patience and mutual support in the ongoing process of healing from past traumas.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to align goals in a relationship

    How to manage expectations

    How to build a healthy relationship

    How to embrace new possibilities

    By letting go of romanticized notions of the past and embracing the present, we open ourselves to genuine connections. Be open, curious, and positive about dating, we can find meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

    Jay Shetty

    Do you ever spend time alone in silence? 

    Today, Jay sits down with Melinda French Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and founder of Pivotal Ventures to talk about her journey from studying computer science at Duke University to working at Microsoft, and eventually transitioning into philanthropy.

    Melinda highlights the importance of goal setting and quiet reflection, practices instilled in her from a young age; the challenges women and people of color face in achieving equality, emphasizing the need for more inclusive policies and support systems; and the importance of diverse representation in leadership and decision-making roles.

    Melinda shared insights into her parenting approach, emphasizing the importance of instilling values of kindness, responsibility, and giving back to society. She also shared her journey of grappling with the decision to publicly support contraceptive access, which conflicted with her Catholic faith. This decision involved deep reflection, discussions with family and friends, and a significant amount of time spent questioning and reconciling her beliefs. 

    Later in the conversation, Melinda highlighted several key lessons she learned later in life, such as the realization that the world is not equally accessible to everyone, particularly women and people of color. This understanding fueled her advocacy for creating more inclusive environments and breaking down barriers that prevent these groups from reaching their full potential​.

    How to embrace change positively

    Why do we always put things off until the last minute?

    Why Love Is Not Enough & 5 Things to Focus On More in Dating & Relationships

    Why Love Is Not Enough & 5 Things to Focus On More in Dating & Relationships

    Do you and your partner share values?

    How do you support each other emotionally?

    Today, Jay taps into the  idea that love alone is not sufficient to sustain a healthy relationship. While love is important, other elements such as shared values, emotional maturity, consistent patterns of behavior, and trust are crucial for long-lasting partnerships. Societal norms often romanticize love, leading people to overlook these essential factors.

    Jay discusses the significance of understanding and respecting each other's values, as well as recognizing and addressing patterns of behavior. Emotional maturity, which involves managing and expressing emotions healthily, is highlighted as a key component of a stable relationship. Support and partnership are deemed more critical than love alone.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to communicate your value to your partner

    How to develop emotional maturity

    How to support your partner's emotional growth

    How to build trust in your relationship

    Remember, love is important, but building a relationship on trust, values, and emotional maturity is key.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

    Jonathan Haidt: Why Social Media Has Caused a Collapse in Mental Health & #1 Way to Solve Your Anxiety

    How are smartphones linked to anxiety?

    What mental health issues are linked to excessive social media use?

    Today, let's welcome Jonathan Haidt is a renowned social psychologist, professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, and a widely published author. He is known for his research on morality, culture, and the psychology of happiness. Jonathan's influential books include "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion" and "The Coddling of the American Mind." His latest work, "The Anxious Generation," examines the profound impact of social media on young people's mental health.

    Jonathan highlights the unprecedented global collapse of mental health among youth, describing it as more significant than the COVID-19 pandemic, with girls being particularly affected by anxiety and depression, and boys showing significant social development issues.

    The conversation also addresses the academic debate regarding the root causes of this mental health crisis, with Jonathan presenting compelling data and experimental evidence to support his view that social media is a primary driver. He offers actionable solutions, including delaying smartphone and social media use until later ages, implementing phone-free school policies, increasing outdoor play, and advocating for collective action by parents and communities. 

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to create a healthier digital environment for kids

    How to implement age-appropriate tech usage

    How to encourage outdoor play and physical activities

    How to talk to children about the risks of social media

    How to foster resilience and emotional strength in kids

    How to create a supportive community for parents

    Together, let's take a comprehensive look into the mental health crisis the youth is facing today and take note of the practical strategies for creating a healthier environment that supports their well-being.
