Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

I think that people put too big of a notion on purpose in that they think that it has to look like a Nelson Mandela or a mother Teresa or Oprah or you or a eye and a lot of times what you're

really good at is right in front of you what you're really great at is right

in front of you and to recognize that your calling and your purpose can change.

You have a long lifetime.

It's not going to be the same calling the whole time. And so allow yourself to evolve,

allow your purpose to evolve. What's that thing you do effortlessly that you give no credit to?

Because you're just looking past, oh, it can't be that

because it's not hard.

Well, how about it doesn't have to be difficult?

How about the fact that you're a great listener? How can you take that and use that and expand that?

And don't compare yourself to someone else.

Comparison, I think Benjamin Frankly, the comparison is a thief of all joy.

It's all, when you look left or right, you know people are always comparing me to

Oprah Winfrey or Yana Van Zahn or or Les Brown or Tony Robbins. I said

listen I will if you want me to give you Oprah or Yana or Tony or less I'm always going to

1,000% fail you but if you're ever interested I do a damn good Lisa.

I do I do a good Lisa Nichols. And so when you look at what are my gifts, what are my unique

gifts. I knew very early on I was a gifted speaker. I wasn't certified as a gifted speaker. I haven't passed any courses as a speaker. Matter of fact, the last time I took a speech class I got a D-minous. And my speech teacher told me, Miss Nichols, I recommend you never speak in public that you get a desk job.

That was in my freshman year of college, the last speech class I took.

So a lot of times your gift and your purpose, you've discounted it, either because someone else discounted it,

or what's more common is you don't know how to monetize it.
