In this episode of "On Purpose," Jay Shetty is interviewed by Lisa Bilyeu about important lessons on relationships, focusing on why people settle for less than they deserve and how to avoid toxic cycles. Shetty identifies three reasons for settling: fear of being alone, comfort in familiar suffering, and a limited view of oneself. He advises listeners to take an "opinions fast" to hear their inner voice and to differentiate between adjusting and abandoning oneself in a relationship. Shetty and Bilyeu discuss the importance of understanding one's own values versus adopting others' insecurities, and they explore the differences between love and lust, comfort and complacency, and intuition and insecurity. Shetty provides practical advice, including a "relationship audit" based on physical, financial, mental, emotional, and spiritual metrics, and emphasizes the importance of open communication, shared goals, and personal responsibility in maintaining healthy relationships. He also touches on the complexities of change within a relationship, the challenges of infidelity, and daily habits to build self-worth, highlighting the need for self-awareness, tolerance, and a willingness to grow together or apart.
