On Purpose with Jay Shetty
If You’re a People Pleaser Listen to This! (Why Putting Yourself First Isn’t Selfish, It’s Necessary For Real Connection)

So my main intention now is to try and do as much work as I can to leave. But the entire journey of... Losing your parents up until now, you lose yourself. You have to rebuild yourself. You have to parent yourself. You have to love yourself. You have to give yourself a reason as to why you're being alive, why you're here, why you're going to even work towards anything.

Releasing this book was the hardest thing I've ever had to do since my mom passed away because it was one of my biggest accomplishments and my cheerleader wasn't there. So you learn how to be your own cheerleader. It's a complete reset. And it has been the worst journey that I've ever encountered, but also the best. I met the love of my life. I've been able to filter through my circles.

So with the boundaries that I put in place, there were people I was able to get rid of ASAP because it wasn't good for me. Like everything that I'm doing now is for the benefit and the safety of myself. And I would have never gotten to this point if none of this stuff happened, you know? So...

I'm just learning that my mother was just a little girl who tried her best and she left behind some really great lessons that I'm taking forth with me now. I look exactly like her. So it's really hard not to, you know,

I don't think three weeks is enough time for work to give you time off for you to mourn. And I don't think people understand how much it actually takes. You lose everything. You lose everything. I've never lost a sibling and I don't have a child yet. So I wouldn't know what it's like to lose a child. I hope I never do. But I don't think there's anything as painful as losing your mother.

If I'm being honest with you, you don't know your left to your right. You don't know. You have to start all over again. And then you have to parent yourself. So when you're having a bad day, you've got to figure out how to calm yourself down, how to encourage yourself, how to celebrate yourself. These are all things I'm learning how to do by myself. Never had to do that.

32 years I never had to do that. Last two years, that's what I'm now having to do in order to give me some sort of peace and happiness. I don't think anything prepares you to lose a parent. And this is why I talk about it so much because I keep saying to people, if you've got good relationships with your family, start recording content.

If your parent is about to pass away because they're dying from a disease, record content because there are random days where I just want to hear my mum's voice and I can have a list of videos and I could hear her laugh and joke about things. And it's almost like she's still here.

If you are listening to this and you are dealing with a parent who is passing away, preserve as much of the memories you can because that's the only thing that keeps you going. If I didn't have that, Jay, I don't know. I wouldn't be here. That's for damn sure. So it's the most life-changing transformational experience you would ever have.
