On Purpose with Jay Shetty · Riz Ahmed: How to Silence Your Inner Critic (And Build REAL Self Worth) · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

And that's what I'm talking about.

It's like, you can aim to achieve X, Y, Z. Just know that X, Y, Z isn't going to be the juice.

The juice is going to be that feeling of flow that if you're lucky, you might feel trying to get there.

You know, the love that we've got on bait was overwhelming for me in a way because it was so personal, because it was drawn from such a, all my insecurities and neuroses in such a personal place.

Not because I'm trying to do something that's all about me, but actually because I think those feelings are universal.

I started, I was just saying to my wife, it's like, should I be enjoying that more?

Should it be landing more?

And that's when I realized like it's actually the reward was the process of making it was a process of reaching inside to a vulnerable place and kind of offering it up.

There's that moment of offering is that moment of letting go.

There's this sample at the start of a J Cole track.

called The Climb Back.

The track's called The Climb Back.

And I think it's a sample from a very old audio book called The Tao of Leadership.

And it says, you need to ask yourself, why are you doing this work?

Is it to get or is it to let go?

That's it.

When you're reaching inside to share something and it's an offering, that is the reward, man.

That feeling of lightness, that expansiveness.

The things you get back from it, they're nice, but it's never going to be the juice like that letting go was.

So I'm trying to making my peace with that now.
