"If you are satisfied with who you are, you don't need to prove your worth to anyone else.” - Jay Shetty
Jay Shetty is the host of one of the top podcasts in the world. Going into the new year, he said instead of focusing on creating New Year’s Resolutions that you will quit before the end of January, focus more on who you want to be and building the habits needed to become that person.
He also said to understand that not every year or season will be the best year or season of your life.
Jay said there are four types of seasons we go through:
Learning Season: Here, you have to slow down and focus on learning what you need to learn now so that you can perform and thrive later.
Experimenting Season: Now, you have learned some new things and its time to experiment so you can see what works and what doesn’t.
Performing Season: It’s time to execute and begin the process towards getting to mastery.
Thriving Season: You have mastered what you learned and experimented with, and you are now successfully flourishing.
When Michael Jordan was in the NBA, he said he looked forward to the off-season because that was when he learned and practiced new skills. His goal was to return every year able to do something new. The preseason is when you experiment with the things you have been learning so you can see what works and what doesn’t, the regular season is when you perform and master those skills, and if all goes well, you spend the playoffs thriving all the way to a championship.
Questions of the Day: Which season are you in, and how can you get to the next one?
