0:28

holiday week Living the

0:30

face your passion lifestyle, what is that? Somebody asked me today,

0:32

well I had a guy yesterday and he said what does

0:34

it mean? I mean if I do a time commitment to

0:37

kind of face my passion as you like to say what

0:39

does that mean? How much time commitment?

0:42

And I said, not joking I said

0:44

well it's 24-7 for the rest of your life until

0:46

the day you die and he goes what? Well

0:49

seriously if you want to do

0:51

what you love to do if you want to work the way you want to work,

0:53

have the friends you want to have, the relationships you want to

0:55

truly kind of figure out your life,

0:57

your passion, your purpose, your meaning, your legacy and all

0:59

that stuff, why would you do it on a planning

1:01

session at 1 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon I'm

1:04

sorry, 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning, why would

1:06

you do that? No it's 24-7, so

1:08

today is part of your 24-7, let's dig in,

1:10

10 questions for you today to

1:13

help you figure stuff out, these questions, well I'll tell you

1:15

where they came from a few minutes ago because I've asked

1:17

them a lot over time, you may have heard them before and

1:19

I know I gave you four yesterday I did, I'll give

1:22

you all the things about this week because I figured you've got some

1:24

car trips going on you're heading off for a holiday, things like that,

1:26

let's give you something to think about a little bit because

1:29

I've learned over time it's not you answering the question today and

1:31

being done with it it's you

1:33

having the question in your mind, pondering it for a little bit,

1:35

thinking about it having me wake you up at 3 o'clock

1:37

in the morning and go what did he say to me, really? and

1:40

have those whisperings wake you up and go man that

1:42

third question just has got to me so

1:45

let's load them in your brain today and see what you do with it, how's that? It

1:48

is The Daily Boost, my name is Scott Smith, founder,

1:51

chief motivating officer here at

1:53

motivationandmove.com I

1:56

mentioned yesterday my Facebook page,

1:58

dailyboostpodcast.com/Facebook And I

2:00

haven't posted a lot of pictures. So I'm at the gym yesterday, you

2:02

know, I had my hip done and I shaved

2:04

my beard off and I let my hair go gray. And

2:06

I'm standing there in the mirror and I took a picture

2:08

of myself and frankly, I looked pretty distinguished. I looked very

2:11

silver foxish. So I took a

2:13

picture and the caption was guess who

2:15

I saw today at the gym. People

2:17

couldn't, they're like, is that the TV guy

2:19

on the news? He looks like the guy on the news I see

2:21

it like, Oh man, have I changed

2:24

that much? I don't know the website. I have

2:26

Brown hair, but that was fake Brown hair anyway. Now I got the real hair.

2:28

So if you want to see the real hair and me

2:30

looking by that, that steadily news like looking guy, just

2:33

go to face your fashion, dailyboospodcast.com/Facebook. Come

2:35

on in, say hi. I'd love to

2:38

see you. And it's awesome

2:40

stuff. I

2:43

just have some questions. So where do these come from? These

2:45

questions are at least 14 years old.

2:47

I'm thinking maybe a year or

2:49

two older than that. I'm not really

2:51

sure. When I started this program way back in 2006, I

2:53

just, lots of stuff.

2:55

And I don't usually go too far back in content. I

2:58

do listen with original stuff I have, but I

3:00

redo everything. Nothing has ever replayed. I don't do

3:02

the replay thing. Everything I do is all always

3:04

redone based on current thinking. It's just like

3:06

you, I learn and it grow every single day. And it changes

3:08

a little bit, right? So never poo poo a program that you

3:11

think you've heard before, because it's always going to be new and

3:13

different. So years ago,

3:15

I had these questions and I presented them to

3:17

the audience because I view life as kind of

3:19

a big scavenger hunt. It is,

3:21

isn't it? It's like somebody said, well, here's

3:23

what you're supposed to life supposed

3:25

to be like. And it's supposed to have this and feel

3:27

this way and do that. This is how it's supposed to

3:29

be. Now go out and find it. It's

3:32

like a kid scavenger hunt is crazy. And I hate

3:34

scavenger hunts. I do. Never any fun. I just

3:36

like to know what I have, but life is, it's

3:39

full of questions. You got to figure out the answers, the

3:41

essential answers you have to have. And all of us every

3:43

single day are just out there trying to figure it out.

3:45

The winner is in the world. Winner

3:48

is meaning, well, what does that

3:50

mean? Actually? Uh, happy, successful, content,

3:52

people that are, get out of

3:54

bed. They're like, okay, I'm cool.

3:56

Whatever, whatever happens. The

3:59

winners of the world. are

4:01

just people who relax about figuring out the solution and just

4:03

going after it. So what are the questions? Get

4:06

ready to ponder these. I'll give you a little commentary

4:08

between them. Some

4:10

are deep. Some are not those most not

4:12

very deep honestly, but sometimes it's a

4:14

simple stuff that makes the biggest difference. Here we go. 10 of them.

4:17

Number one, they are not in any particular order.

4:19

I don't think I don't remember when I wrote

4:21

these, but I don't think so. What

4:25

do you want to do? Such

4:28

a simple question, but I will tell you this, that

4:31

most people get caught up in what they do and

4:34

they forget to understand what they really want to do. And

4:36

you get caught up into it. And I have news for

4:38

you. Sometimes you get caught up in doing something instead of

4:40

what you think you should be doing or want to be

4:42

doing. And it can take 20

4:44

years to get out of it, to wake up to it. It's

4:48

okay to want, but it is. Some

4:52

people say that's not the law of attraction. You shouldn't

4:54

want it. When you have one, you already have it.

4:56

I agree. However,

4:58

I've seen that every single thing I ever

5:00

got in my life started because I wanted

5:02

it. Just saying. Number

5:06

two, what do

5:08

you want to have? Doing

5:11

a having or two different things in

5:14

all my coaching people, I've noticed that sometimes

5:16

they seem to lump them together like

5:21

their lifestyle or something. They lump it together. Doing

5:24

and having two different things. If you

5:26

want a Maserati, that's cool. Well,

5:29

that has nothing to do with what you do. Unless you're

5:31

due is I want to be driving fast in a Maserati. I

5:33

guess we can combine them that way. Can't we? See it's confusing

5:35

this thing called life. Number three, where

5:38

do you want to go? I guess

5:40

metaphorically, it could be where do you want to go?

5:42

I want to travel. I'm going to go places. I, uh,

5:44

or maybe it can be spiritually. I

5:46

want to evolve myself to who I want to be someday, become

5:49

the best version of myself possible. I've never been a big

5:51

fan of that. I

5:55

don't know that I want to be a version of myself. I mean, I just

5:57

want to be something different. I don't know. It's not my thing.

5:59

Maybe it's your thing. Where do you want to go? What

6:03

contribution do you want to make? This

6:05

is a big one. Some people are

6:07

all about contribution. I will tell you when you contribute, when

6:09

you give, you get more back. You

6:12

can give in lots of different ways. Don't let

6:14

somebody's other idea of contribution be what you need

6:16

to do. What you do

6:18

need to contribute. What

6:21

contribution do you want to make? It's

6:23

kind of busy right now contributing to the family budget

6:25

so I can raise my kids. Digging

6:27

it, man. That's

6:29

fair. That's okay. But

6:33

I know deep inside you, somewhere down deep inside your

6:35

heart, there's something else that's kind of lurking at what

6:37

is that? What

6:41

do you want to become? That's

6:44

become is different than you are today, isn't it? Not

6:48

necessarily doing. It's not really having. It's not really

6:50

going. It's becoming. What do you want to become?

6:55

That's a big one. See, these questions are not easy because I want to become

6:58

a rock star. Oh,

7:01

maybe you can't make any money doing that anymore unless your name

7:03

is Taylor. Something

7:07

to think about. What do you want to learn? What

7:11

do you want to learn? Sometimes you think about learning early on. We

7:15

think about learning when we're getting out of school. We're learning. So we think

7:17

about learning. What's the next learning I will do? Let's go to college and

7:19

it's what are you going to do now?

7:21

I'm going to go to grad school and learn

7:23

more. And sometimes you retire and they're like, okay,

7:25

now I've got time to learn. And

7:28

sometimes you got a weekend project. I could learn

7:30

how to change the blades of a lawnmower. You

7:33

see, it's so easy to pick the mundane stuff, the simple stuff

7:35

that comes in front of you. But if you really got down

7:37

to it, if you really dug into it, you've really thought about

7:39

it, who you truly are, who you want to do, have go

7:42

all that stuff. That would change what

7:44

you wanted to learn. Wouldn't it? I

7:46

would like to learn to talk slower. Working on that one.

7:49

Have not figured it out yet. Probably not going to. Just

7:52

so you know. And those of you who listened to me

7:54

at 1.5 speed, God bless you. I don't know how you do

7:56

it. When

7:58

are they going to put the slow it down speed on it? I haven't

8:00

seen that yet. Maybe it's Sarah Minnis missing it. Who

8:05

do you spend who do you want to spend

8:07

your time with? That's

8:11

important. You

8:14

know my question often is sorry,

8:17

just rock my microphone there. Oh,

8:21

I'm not gonna edit that you can take that out. It's kind of a sound effect. A

8:23

lot of people pay a lot of money for that sound effect, okay? See.

8:30

It's just not cool. Who do you want to spend your time

8:32

with? My

8:34

big question usually is I want to spend time with myself. Because

8:37

I'm so busy doing other stuff. I like to spend time with me. A

8:40

lot of people can't spend time with themselves. Oh,

8:42

they'll hang out with yourself all the time, but you won't spend time

8:44

with yourself. You're thinking about something else and who you're gonna go spend

8:46

time with. Put

8:48

somebody in a room and say just spend time with yourself.

8:50

No, you can't have your phone. No, you can't have a

8:52

magazine. No, you can't have TV. No, you can have nothing.

8:54

You can't even have a window. All you got is a

8:57

door and chair. Sit there and spend time with yourself. How

9:00

you gonna do with that? Got

9:03

an older mom or dad? Spend

9:06

time with those folks. Got young kids. Some of y'all

9:08

could used to spend more time with your kids, couldn't

9:10

you? I know,

9:12

I know. I'm busy. Got stuff to do. Who do you want to spend your

9:15

time with? It's

9:17

a simple question, but it will change your life. How

9:21

much money do you want to earn, save,

9:23

and invest? We're

9:26

not in a time right now where a lot of folks don't know what

9:29

to say to that question. It's not about the money, Scott. Hell, it isn't.

9:33

It's totally about the money. Everything

9:38

is about the money. And if not the money,

9:40

it's somebody else paying your way. That's still about the money, right? Just

9:43

think about it. I'm not trying to be rude here. I'm just trying to be honest with you. I'm

9:46

not money focused at all. I mean, I know I have to

9:48

make money. I think I do fairly well with it. But

9:52

I understand that I don't get to do what I want to do if

9:54

I don't have money. And

9:56

so if you don't lead with the money, then somebody else is

9:59

paying your bill.
