YouTube's "urban monk"Jay Shetty making wisdom go viral.

Jay Shetty is an Award-Winning Storyteller, world's top Life Coach Podcaster, and a former monk who is making wisdom truly go viral. After finishing business, school he turned down several lucrative offers from prestigious companies in order to become a monk. For three year he traveled across India and all of Europe living as a monk and studying how they lived their profound ways. It didn't end their however. It was just the beginning to his life purpose. He was driven by a desire to share the things he learned with the rest of the world. I wish to share with you brief background about my life story so that you, the reader, can feel and comprehend how immense Jay Shetty has helped me and many across the world heal mentally and spiritually. I come from an Asian culture background, so discipline for us is what America calls "Child Abuse". I was raised by a single mother and with 6 siblings. I became a mother and a woman at the age of 15. It was at that point, life became oh so REAL! Throughout my life as a child deep into my adult years, I experienced a prodigious amount of traumatic physical & mental abuse that almost cost me my children as well as my life. By the age of 24, I was a mother of four children. I had to do everything all on my own. There is so much more to my story but I'll jump to the point where my ultimate journey began. I became engaged in 2015 to a man I thought was great for me and my children. He enchanted me with his charm and, what I thought at the time, was his graceful heart. I couldn't have been more wrong. With a broken past and a heart still on the mend, I had to relive what I thought I had left behind me, more physical and mental abuse. He's immorality and wickedness became exposed and rose to the surface. He was abusive to me far more then what I had already been exposed to. With a loaded gun pointed to my head and him screaming these exact words "If you every leave me bitch I will kill you!". I tried to leave many times, but just couldn't escape. As a results of my attempts to leave he had also took a revolver to his head and pulled the trigger on himself 3 times, as he played Russian Roulette with himself. Over time it got worse. While living under the menace of this chaos I was not feeling right and ended up testing positive for cancer cells. Knowing I had children to live for, that hit me harder then anything I can imagine. Soon after, I finally got the courage to move my children and myself across the country in order to feel safe. It felt like a frightening and impossible task. We arrived in California with only our clothing and photo album of my children. I had little in the way of savings, no job, no friends to turn to. For a short period of time, I lost hope in life, myself and questioning my ability as a mother. I would ask God, "How is it that I keep attracting this into my life, and why did I deserve any of this?" I spent sleepless nights curled on the floor crying myself to sleep, but that was nothing new to my life given my past. What hurt me the most was the feeling of failure, failure of being a good mother. As a mother strong of will and with strong faith, I told myself something has got to give. My heart was heavy and filled with hurt, anger, betrayal. I was unable to return love, concern or form any type of relationship because the fear of being hurt. I felt as though I entered savage mode. I was empty inside and the only love I felt and kept was for my children. I knew that I wanted to move forward in a positive direction, I needed to repair myself mentally and emotionally. I knew I would not be any good to anyone in my life until I heal fully from my past. I started looking into self-therapy and that's when I stumbled upon Jay Shetty on YouTube. It was from that day forward I became a whole new person. Friends and family who had known me for years were totally astonished of who I became. They didn't recognize the person standing in front of them anymore when I reconnected with them, as I cut all communication with my family and friends because of being angry at everyone who had I thought at the time that did me wrong. Jay Shetty's YouTube videos along with his podcast, day by day helped release a lot of anger that I was holding on to. His knowledge and wisdom had taught me how to forgive, to effectively and compassionately communicate, come from a place of compassion and understanding, how to disagree the right way with a soft spoken voice, how to move on from the past, to not judge, find & keep love, to implement more positive thinking and behavior, to listen more to what others have to say instead of being quick to respond to another person, to constantly educate myself and never stop growing. Because of Jay Shetty, I now walk down the spiritual path of life, and it brings harmony and calmness to my mind, body and soul. His words of wisdom have brought out so much positive change in my life with my thinking and behavior, that I never would of thought in a million years, I would become the person I am now. I can honestly say I love even more than I ever did before and I am more humble than ever. I am Jay Shetty's biggest fan, and I will continue to follow his ways, as he has left a remarkable imprint on my soul. Jay also introduced me to Dr. Joe Dispenza (researcher for neuroscience, epigenetics and quantum physics). I started following him due to my illnesses to naturally learn how our brain works, and from there, learn how to cure myself. Jim Kwik (worlds #1 brain coach) is another awesome person I started following due to several head injuries I had sustain along with memory loss. None of this would have ever been possible without Jay Shetty's words of wisdom. All of the wisdom and knowledge has profoundly impacted every aspect of my life and not to mention along with the people that are in my life. I too make a positive impact on people I come across on a daily basis and spread his teaching and words of wisdom. I will list some of Jay Shetty's words of wisdom that help me, and just maybe, whoever reads this, their curiosity will be triggered and they to will start a journey to healing, perhaps make more wisdom go viral.

1. "Dharma"(ancient sankrit word). To find your purpose in life. What you think, what you say and what you do are aligned with your truer self. By your truer self it means; the self that was not given to you by your culture, upbringing, education, media, parents, movies or your-self that you created to function in the world. Strip away all those expectations, opinions, obligations, what you're left with is your truer self. If you live in a mindset of that then you're thinking like a monk. Passion+Strengths+compassion=PURPOSE

2. Fast forward yourself from where you are, look at yourself in 10 to 15 years and ask yourself "is that where you want to be?" And if you answered no then you need to find a new path.

3. You don't know what you need in your life until you figure out who you truly are.

4. Selfless Sacrifice-to give up everything you have for the service of others.

5. Open yourself up and be exposed to unique new experiences and roll-models.

6. I'm not what I think I am, I am not what you think I am, I am what I think you think I am.

7. The greatest power is to have self control. To be able to train the mind & energy to focus exactly where you want it and when you want it to be. You are completely detached and undeterred from external ups and downs. You're able to navigate anything that seems tough, challenging, fun and exciting with the same amount of being equipoise and balanced in equanimity without being too excited in pleasure or being too depressed in pain.

8. Detachment is not that you own nothing, detachment means nothing owns you.

9. Being able to overcome anger, ego, envy, jealousy, greed, the negative of competitive state and clarify and purify yourself of those things is going to alleviate the biggest anxiety, depression and mental health problems.

10. Don't doubt someone at their best. Don't judge someone at their worst. Everyone is going through something.

11. The three E's (Element, Environment and Energy). Everyone has an element that they thrive in, if you take someone out of their element, they won't be the same. Everyone should be in an environment in which we thrive in which we craft our self. Figuring out your energy and the frequency on which we operate best.

12. If you don't heal from the pain of your past you'll bleed all over your future.

13. 5 by 5 rule...if it's not going to matter in 5 years, don't spend more than 5 minutes upset by it.

14. Check on yourself as much as you check on Instagram.

15. Action without intention is meaningless. And intention without action is impact-less.

16. A good relationship will always create an US without destroying a ME.

17. Relationship; It's me and you against the problem, not me and you against each-other.

18. If you don't make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness.

19. Stop adding people to your life with the same negative traits as the one you worked so hard to remove.

20. It's me and you against the problem, not me and you against each other.
