Asks Five Luminaries to Weigh in on a Single Topic; This Month: Devotion,” WSJ. Magazine, Spring 2023

Spiritual Quote of the Day (Jay Shetty, on Devotion, ‘An Unmotivated, Uninterrupted Act of Loving Service’)

“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,” WSJ. Magazine, Spring 2023
