“The definition of devotion I was introduced to during
my time as a monk was an unmotivated, uninterrupted act of loving service. I
still love that definition and wouldn’t alter it, because it's beautiful and
pure…It requires discipline, and has to be dedicated to something—a higher
purpose. It’s also a point of connection through which we can try understanding
other people, because what you're devoted to demonstrates who you are.”—English
former monk, purpose coach and podcast host Jay Shetty, “Soapbox: The
Columnists—WSJ. Asks Five Luminaries to Weigh in on a Single Topic; This Month:
Devotion,”
