On Purpose with Jay Shetty

It says Week 7, Recovering a Sense of Connection. We turn this week to the practice of right attitudes for creativity.

Art is not about thinking something up. It is about the opposite, getting something down.

When we get something down, there is no strain. We're not doing, we're getting something.

Just as I'm speaking to you about this, I have a book here on my table. It's The Complete Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.

So I'm going to opening up that bookmark says week seven, recovering a sense of connection. We turn this week to the practice of right attitudes for creativity. The emphasis is on your receptive as well as active skills.

Listening, which we're you're doing right now. The ability to listen is a skill we are honing with both our morning pages and our artist dates.

The pages train us to hear past our sensor. The artist dates help us to pick up the voice of inspiration. While both of these activities are apparently unconnected to the actual act of making art, they are critical to the creative process.

Art is not about thinking something up. It is about the opposite, getting something down. The directions are important here. If we are trying to think something up, we're straining to reach for something that's just beyond our grasp up there in the stratosphere where art lives on high.

It was about the fact that even as a young girl she had been reading things like the Double Helix and wanted to become a scientist.

But her school counselor says, well, no, girls don't become scientists.

And so she pushes on that. And everybody else in the 1990s, it seemed in the field of biology, was chasing DNA in the Human Genome Project.

And she and a few women like Jillian Banfield said, actually, RNA is the more interesting molecule.

And so we have a belief that we are limited, basically in a nutshell, that we're a limited individual, that we're born and then we die.

And so we have this belief that we are limited, basically in a nutshell, that we're a limited individual, that we're born and then we die. And that's kind of it.

And I think the majority of people would consider that they're a body and a mind and the name that they've been given and the story of their life.

The moment that you say like our mind can't comprehend awareness, it can't comprehend it. The mind is sitting in awareness.

And so and so the really beautiful thing is, is that saying something like I am awareness or am I aware? The mind just goes quiet, you know, just really quickly.

Her latest book is called The Greatest Secret and that's what we dive into today.

And you say that a belief has been blocking us this whole time from this secret.

And so the practice in The Greatest Secret that had the greatest effect on me and that I would say for anybody is the best thing you can ever, ever, ever do.

And I hope you can tell like when I was reading your book, I felt so happy. Because when you were sharing, this was the greatest secret.

That's Rhonda Byrne The Greatest Secret if you want to dive deeper into your personal eternal journey, then this book is a phenomenal guide to doing just that.

So like the first novel we did was the Wizard and Artist series. It was important for that to be basketball because I wanted the first story to be one of empathy and compassion.

And there was no sport better than that than tennis. There's golf, but tennis, you have more movement, which to me symbolizes life in general because life is, there's a lot going on.

And so you have to deal with the person across the net from you as well as the strengths and weaknesses in your own movements and how you feel in your own body.

And because of that, it was important for this story to be a tennis story.

I'm like, man, my knee is really sore right now. Maybe I'm doing too much. Maybe I need to back off. Man, my lungs are burning. Maybe I can just slow down here. I'll do an extra two sets tomorrow. It'll be okay. That sort of stuff.

And that's when you just got to say, you know what? I'm not negotiating with myself. The deal was already made.

It's a Christian book. I've read that one four times. Life-changing.

the first time I read it because I was in such a broken place. I thought it was a love story between the two people. And I was like, Oh my God, this is amazing. They fell in love, all this stuff.

And then the second time I read it, I was like, Oh, this is a love story between her and God, not him. He was just the vehicle in order to get her in a relationship with God, which I mean, I threw the book. I was like, Whoa.

I threw the book because I was like, Wow, it really, she had a choice to say no, but she didn't know how to.
