JOHN LEGEND'S EYE OPENING Speech On How To Manifest ABUNDANCE & HAPPINESS | Jay Shetty

Today, I talk to the one and only John Legend.
John openly shares his amazing journey as a songwriter, singer, and family man. We start the conversation with his childhood - from growing up in a Christina home, being homeschooled to transitioning into a public school and the challenges that come with it. Next, we dive deep into how community support plays a huge role in molding children outside of the home, the value of knowing what you want in life and finding the means to attain it and sticking to it, and the relentless pursuit of a career and build a family where love, care, and a safe space is prioritized.
The hurdles may have been tough and the path may be unclear at some point, but John’s story is telling us to believe in what we can do and remain passionate about the things we love to do.
What We Discuss:
00:00:00 Intro
00:03:07 Homeschooled
00:07:23 Transitioning into a public school

"Let yout broken heart learn to live in pieces" such beautiful and powerful words.

[@katarinahendrickson888]

It is so reassuring to see shared masculine energy take such a deep, vulnerable approach to our individual and shared social emotional awareness. One of the best episodes yet!

[@XavierGuillaume]

Which is interesting bc Jay Shetty and John Legend are more on the feminine side of the spectrum when it comes to masculinity. Which would make sense they would have more emotional awareness.

"I don't want to get divorced "- he is such a stable and reliable man

What a humble man. I really enjoyed this interview.

[@ginawagner6956]

First off, I played this because I saw John Legend. Second, I want to HEAR what John has to say. This should be 80/20 guest/host not 50/50 Third, this video has NOTHING to do with how to manifest abundance! Hahahaha - John is SO smart, I LOVE him! He's so charming and elegant. Side note- Jay Shetty's titles I find rarely ever have anything to do with the interview at all!

[@mobill93]

Ive never seen john in an interview i knew his singing is soft and slow but jesus he is just naturally so calm ❤ and speaks so soft

[@tarachristina3922]

Absolutely brilliant podcast!!!! I didn’t know so much about John Legend, he lives up to his last name. Super happy his mom is back on track and in school, I’m inspired. I thought his homeschooling perspective was interesting. I started out homeschooling my son and he was very socialized. We belonged to homeschooling groups and had an awesome schedule with other groups. We went to classes together, playgroups five days a week so when he did transition to public school, he fit right in. I know families who continued to homeschool and kept their children active in social groups and independent classes. They are all brilliant, secure in who they are, and socialized. But not all families have that. It is hard for children that are isolated, we saw so much of it during the pandemic. John Legend is such a sweet spirit with incredible talent. I have so much more respect for him after this. Love how he and his wife are raising their children, love and guidance. May God continue to bless you all. Jay Shetty, you have a gift! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

We need a part 2.. identify myself heavily with John’s story, and it’s immensely healing and insightful to learn the fruits of knowledge that John gained himself along his journey.. And great to know how collected and level-headed John is

This guy is a scam, he uses other pppl quotes and use it in his books, he takes quotes out of the Gita and vedas, just that ppl lack spiritual knowledge and when they hear him speak they feel so drawn in.

[@garnet0912]

I am an American that has been lucky enough to have and raise a family in a country that does exactly what John describes. A place whose policies are edifying and create the type of society that decreases the need for policing and jailing. The Netherlands is that place. It is incredible to witness how committed a country is to wrapping it's resources around children and families. It works beautifully and despite the 'big government' in order to make it happen, everything is unbelievably efficient. Tight regulations prevent corruption and people actually see their taxes back in the form of excellent free education, affordable health care and a myriad of other benefits when needed (available to all regardless of income - everyone contributes to the system so for richer or poorer, everyone is entitled to the benefits) It's harder to get rich here so that's the trade off but the playing field is not only level, but elevated. Everyone enjoys a decent quality of life and no one is left behind. When people have what they need, crime is greatly diminished.

[@janieceblessings]

one of my favorite podcasts! thank you both for shedding light and love!

[@gracejasinthpriyadarsini2489]

In my childhood days the most memorable in my school is sports day,parents day,conducting elections,my teacher with a big piano especially teaching us Christmas songs and playing the songs of Christmas showing us the birth of Jesus Christ with three kings awesome which could never be forgotten in my life.

A beautiful conversation, filled with the truest most authentic love imaginable. Thank YOU both!

[@jazjasmine9496]

Fun, easygoing, and enlightening! Interesting conversation highlighting importance each of us have and what we can give to our own communities and to the world at large. Lastly, I love learning a bit more about self and others, and then, sharing to benefits others, as well. John has obvious talents and he has a big, generous heart in wanting a better life for all. Cool that he is not only willing, but values supporting others to achieve a better life understanding he has more available to him that many do not. Nice to hear his thoughts! Great questions!! 👍🤩💞😍

I always admired John Legend, his creativity mind,humble personality,wisdom,his compassion heart,his social work for the nation.. A guy very self aware and a good father figure,his wife brings the best of his essence.. They have great sense of humor too.. Love is a powerful force,pain is an invisible friend living inside our hearts.. We can learn to live with our pain,we can get inspire too and transform our lives through pain..! I pretend to be a song writer for therapy,is free and is self healing.. Real artist,master mind souls know deeply the collaboration with others are fundamental, for creativity to manifest,in particular with music..! What a beautiful soul for humanity, and for his family members and friends.. I see many more things to manifest in his life..!.❤😉😘🌸💠🙏🌺

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it kzbin.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
