Jay unpacks why it can be so hard to let go of the life you thought you’d have by now. He shares five ideas for letting go of where you thought you’d be and making peace with where you are, from breaking free of comparison and “should” statements to understanding why we grieve futures that never happened. Plus, a simple exercise to help you look at your life differently and recognize the opportunities that came from things not going according to plan.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
