Give Me 30 Minutes and Finally STOP Feeling Behind in Life

Today, Jay shares a powerful reminder for anyone who feels like they’re behind in life. Jay reframes the idea of being “behind,” not as a failure but an essential part of growth. Through psychology and real-life examples, he emphasizes that endings matter more than beginnings, and that setbacks are not signs of weakness, but proof that we’re actively building resilience. He challenges our attachment to comfort, which can quietly keep us stuck, and reminds us that what feels like delay is really unseen preparation for the skills and foundations that lead to future success. Jay shifts how we measure progress, from chasing empty wins to recognizing that grit matters more than perfection.

In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Redefine Success on Your Timeline
How to Recognize False Progress in Others
How to See Struggle as Strength
How to Turn Setbacks into Resilience
How to Trust That You’re Not Late

The struggles you face today are shaping your resilience, your wisdom, and your strength for tomorrow. You are not late, you are not lost, you are simply on your own timeline.

With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
