D
Many of us seem to have lives that follow a certain path. From kindergarten all the way to
marriage, every stage of our lives seems to be preset. Although this works well for many people,
according to British motivational philosopher Jay Shetty, there is no “right” schedule to live our
lives by.
A few months ago, a video of Shetty’s speech Before You Feel Pressure went viral on the
Internet across the world. In the video, he sends an important message that we should think
“outside of the path” and have the courage to follow our hearts. Shetty adds that, we don’t have
to get stressed and put ourselves in a race with our peers or judge our lives based on others.
Everything in life happens according to our time, our clocks.
In his inspiring speech, Shetty mentions that US actor Morgan Freeman didn’t get his big
break until he was 52 years old.
We shouldn’t let anyone rush us. As Albert Einstein once said, “Not everything that counts
can be counted, and not everything that’s counted truly counts.”
The key to staying on our own tracks is to be patient and embrace our own passions. In
Australian nurse Bronnie Ware’s best-selling book, she recorded the regrets of her dying
patients, and the top one on the list was, “I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not
the one others expected of me.” Indeed, we are all unique in our personalities and gifts, and
there’s no perfect fit for all. We should listen to our inner voices and unlearn what the world has
taught us.
“It is important to allow people to go back to being self-aware of their own interests, needs
and concerns,” Shetty told National Geographic. “It’s disconnecting from what ‘makes sense’
to what actually moves you and what makes sense internally.”
