Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown

One, become crystal clear of what it is that you're supposed to do. I believe that we were not born to work for just a job. A job is what you get paid for. I believe that we have a calling, and that requires some self-examination to ask yourself, what am I supposed to do with my life? What was I born to do? And that calling... is something that you were made for.

A calling is something that you love so much you do it for nothing, but you do it so well that people will pay you to do it. This is what you're doing now, interviewing me. This is what you're doing now, seeking a path of how you can do whatever is necessary with your life to make the world a better place. That's the calling on your life.

And even if you did not get paid for it, you're going to do it where you can with conversations that you have with people. Friends will call you and say, Heather, what should I do next? There are all kinds of ways that this life that you're now living has been showing up.

And what we have to do, I believe, is have the courage, be ye of good courage, to step in that direction, to jump out of line, don't follow the crowd. and to be willing to become a risk taker. Viscard said, if you're not willing to risk, you cannot grow. And if you cannot grow, you cannot become your best. And if you can't become your best, you can't be happy.

Well, life is hard. But if you do what is easy, you know, I believe that when we look at ourselves, that if you do what is easy, your life will be hard. And that is staying on the path that you know that's not you. that you procrastinate, that you allow yourself to be paralyzed by fear, that you are a prisoner of a negative assumption about what the possibilities are for you.

If you do what is easy, your life will be hard. But if you do what is hard, always looking for a way to break out, always looking for a way that you can, with the quality of your life, provide some service that has value for people, the greatest among you will be your servant your life will be easy. And so this thing called life is hard, but here's what we know. We can do hard. We can do hard.

Yes. And that's exciting to me as you look at it, that life is a fight for territory. And once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over. You have to fight for peace of mind. You have to fight for your marriage. You have to fight to help. Guide your children in a way in which they can be a liability, rather an asset to society rather than a liability.
