First, we become aware of a feeling or issue — we spot it. Then we pause to address what the feeling is and where it comes from — we stop to consider it. And last, we amend our behavior — we swap in a new way of processing the moment. SPOT, STOP, SWAP.

Additional quotes by Jay Shetty

There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with cloudy or multifaceted intentions. We just need to remember that the less pure they are, the less likely they are to make us happy, even if they make us successful. When people gain what they want but aren’t happy at all, it’s because they did it with the wrong intention.
