On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Why There’s No Such thing As the Right Person at the Wrong Time & Why Your Ex Was Never The One


Listen Later

Do you believe in "right person, wrong time"?

Do you have realistic expectations about dating?

Today, Jay will discuss the popular notion of the "right person at the wrong time." He explains that this idea often stems from nostalgia, which can distort our memories by emphasizing the positive aspects of past experiences and minimizing the negatives. This romanticized view of the past can prevent us from addressing present realities and hinder our ability to form healthy relationships.

Jay also talks about the various factors that influence relationships, such as a person's relationship status, goals, and healing journey. He argues that a person's current circumstances, such as being newly single or single for a long time, significantly shape who they are and their readiness for a relationship. Furthermore, in a healthy relationship, partners should respect and support each other's goals rather than expecting complete alignment. He also highlights the importance of patience and mutual support in the ongoing process of healing from past traumas.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to align goals in a relationship

How to manage expectations

How to build a healthy relationship

How to embrace new possibilities

By letting go of romanticized notions of the past and embracing the present, we open ourselves to genuine connections. Be open, curious, and positive about dating, we can find meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
