Discumgalligumfricated:Greatly astonished but pleased. Hiptiminigy: A cry that expressed exuberance of spirit. Gyles' poem this week was the infamous 'Our Revels Now Are Ended' quote by Prospero in The Tempest by William Shakespeare Our revels now are ended. These our actors,  As I foretold you, were all spirits and  Are melted into air, into thin air:  And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,  The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,  The solemn temples, the great globe itself,  Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve  And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,  Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff  As dreams are made on, and our little life  Is rounded with a sleep.

If you&rsquo;ve been searching for clarity in love, struggling with self-worth in dating, or wondering why you keep attracting the wrong partners, this conversation is a must-listen.</p> <p>Jay and Stephan kick off by breaking down one of the biggest struggles in today&rsquo;s dating world&mdash;the negative perception of men and women. They explore how sensationalized online narratives and personal biases shape our beliefs about relationships, often distorting reality. Stephan explains how social media and exaggerated dating horror stories create unnecessary fear and distrust, making it harder for people to embrace love.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you&rsquo;ve ever felt like you&rsquo;re stuck in a cycle of failed relationships, Stephan reveals that understanding yourself first is the key to finding the right partner. He emphasizes three critical factors: first, accepting the differences between men and women instead of resisting them; second, knowing yourself before entering a relationship, as many people struggle because they aren&rsquo;t even clear on what they truly need; and third, prioritizing healing, because unresolved pain from past experiences will continue to affect every new connection.&nbsp;</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Stop Letting Dating Myths Mislead You</p> <p>How to Attract the Right Partner by Knowing Yourself</p> <p>How to Heal Before Your Next Relationship</p> <p>How to Communicate With a Closed-Off Partner</p> <p>How to Break the Cycle of Failed Relationships</p> <p>If you&rsquo;ve felt frustrated, discouraged, or like love just isn&rsquo;t in the cards for you, remember this: the right relationship isn&rsquo;t something you chase, it&rsquo;s something you attract by becoming the best version of yourself.</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free Monk Mode newsletter.
