A speaker reflects on Marianne Williamson's Law of Compensation and argues that everyone has a calling they'd pursue without payment. He shares his own commitment to nightly improv and a sparsely attended Yes Live event, stressing that showing up matters more than audience size. The work itself feeds the soul.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes. This morning, I just finished Marianne Williamson's book, The Law of Compensation. It's an easy read, it's a quick read, but it is a deep, deep read. So I encourage you to go out and read it. One of the things she talks about is the idea of doing what you love, your purpose, what I would call your yes. She refers to it as your calling. You know, basically, you know your calling, which is, it's that thing that you would do Even if you never got paid for it? For me, that's very simple. I would do an improv show every night whether I got paid for it or not. And I try to do as many as I can. I do the yes work because I have no choice but to do it. It is what inspires me. It feeds my soul. If you're watching this video, you're, as of right now, maybe one of 20 clicks that my videos get. Not necessarily setting the world on fire. I did my first Yes Live event the other night for I think 12 people. Again, first event. Not exactly selling out arenas. But I'm not discouraged. I'm not down. I'm not depressed because it is what I have to do. And the extrinsic results of the numbers and how many people— absolutely, I'll be totally honest and authentic and say, I want that to be bigger. I want that to grow, but it's not the reason I do what I do. And that to me is my calling. That's my own yes. And for you out there, the idea for today is just keep showing up. If you want more love, keep loving. If you want more fitness, keep exercising. If you want more health, Eat better. And so I know it sounds stupid, silly, and simple, but it's all three of those S's. If you want more in your life, you need to do it more, just as we know with with anything. So keep showing up. Keep doing what your calling is calling you to do. Keep picking up the phone and answering your calling. That is your moment of yes for today. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
