0:29

no guests here, it's just me, kinda talking

0:31

that way But here's what I want you

0:33

to imagine I want you to imagine you and I are in front of

0:35

each other I'm leaving you

0:37

space to talk back to me I'm hearing what you're saying

0:39

as we go through the show today Kinda paying

0:42

attention to you So

0:44

let's have a two way conversation even if you're there and I'm

0:46

here, huh? I have

0:48

two things I want to bring to your attention today One

0:51

is, from a call I

0:53

had this morning where the word friction came up

0:55

It was kind of interesting, I'll explain that to you And

0:57

then if I could ask you four questions and if we

1:00

couldn't solve the question What's your

1:02

purpose and passion in life? If I could

1:04

ask you four questions and by the end

1:06

of those four questions just hearing the questions

1:09

You'd be thinking differently, would that be okay? Are you willing to

1:12

go that? Do you have the courage to do that? Well

1:15

if so, hang around, we're gonna do that today It

1:18

is the Daily Boost from Motivation to

1:21

move.com Happy to have you here today, you

1:23

know Ever

1:25

since I've been a kid, I always

1:27

wondered why it was so hard You

1:31

ever think, you ever wonder why things are so hard?

1:34

It made never made sense to me, it was like, oh, I got this

1:36

idea I'm excited, I have this idea, I want

1:38

to do something, go to bed I can hardly even sleep because

1:40

I want to get up and get to work on my idea

1:44

And then I start to work on my idea and suddenly it's

1:46

hard Suddenly I don't have

1:48

the time, don't have the money, no support, nobody will let me

1:50

do what I want to do I

1:52

never got that, and sometimes I would get to where I wanted to go and then somebody

1:54

else would come and try to tear me down Never

1:57

understood it, it didn't make any sense to me I

2:01

remember one day, gosh, about 25 years ago, I

2:03

said, this is silly, this is stupid, this is not

2:05

fair. Never

2:08

forget where I was. In

2:10

a place in particular, I was driving my car, I just remember

2:12

the vision of being at a stop sign, that was it. Kind

2:16

of a metaphor, I guess. I said, it's not fair. And

2:19

at that moment, I got this thing came through

2:21

me. That's

2:24

the way it is. Still,

2:27

it should be easier, shouldn't it? I mean, you just basically make

2:29

an idea and go do it. That's kind of the premise. And

2:31

ultimately, that's exactly what it is, but it is kind of a

2:33

difficult ride. And that's okay. It's

2:36

all right. We all go through that.

2:39

fight your way through, it's okay. We all go through that. And

2:42

that's what the show's all about. Bailey

2:44

boost, stand up, take a step, repeat. Life

2:48

gets in the way. We take care of it.

2:50

My name is Scott Smith. Good to have you here today. By

2:52

the way, I just recognized the past couple

2:54

of days that I have forgotten to mention.

2:58

Where you can communicate with me regularly if you'd like to.

3:02

Face your passion dot. No, well, you can do

3:04

that. That's not, I'm sorry. I've been talking about

3:06

this so much. I forgot. Feel free

3:08

to go to faceyourpassion.com. If you want to work with

3:10

me, my coaching group, that's always awesome. But

3:13

if you want to hang out and

3:15

say hi, just go to dailyboostpodcast.com/Facebook. That'll

3:17

get you in our daily boost podcast Facebook page.

3:20

Nice and positive. I'm going to warn you when you come

3:22

to the door right now. It's more like a coffee group

3:24

right now because we like coffee and

3:26

we have a few people who are posting coffee memes.

3:30

And because my hip has taken me a little bit out

3:32

of activity for a bit, haven't paid that much attention to

3:34

it. It's looking like a coffee group right now. So would

3:37

you please go? If you like coffee,

3:39

go to faceyourpassion.com/Facebook. And

3:42

if you'd like to help us get out of the coffee meme thing,

3:45

go to dailyboostpodcast.com/Facebook. So today,

3:48

this morning, you might

3:51

notice my voice a little scratchy. It's a little scratchy because

3:53

I've been on the phone for I think four hours today.

3:55

Zoom calls today. It

3:57

happens from time to time. It's it's part of my gig.

4:00

it's what I do. But this

4:02

morning I'm on a facial fashion coaching call and we're

4:04

talking to all kinds of things and finally I said

4:06

something. It was that removing frustrations from your life. And

4:09

I just said this, I said there

4:12

is something in my life that has a little friction to it

4:14

right now. It's not a major thing, it's just a

4:16

little friction thing has to do with my personal trainer I've

4:18

got. And

4:20

the friction has to be removed. And

4:24

I saw all the people on the call kind

4:26

of lean down. When you're in my business

4:28

one of the things you look for is when people are

4:30

looking at you and paying attention to you and you say

4:32

something like that and they all look down and take notes.

4:36

And you pay attention to it and I just kind of made a

4:38

note to myself, okay they want to talk about friction. The

4:41

interesting thing was they had never heard somebody say we

4:43

just have to kind of remove that little friction from

4:46

our life. It's no more, it's no

4:48

less than that. Just remove the friction and then a little later

4:50

on we're talking about friction. I

4:52

said listen don't accumulate friction debt. The

4:55

cool thing is you don't have to pay

4:58

it off all you have to do is eliminate it. So

5:01

if you have friction in your life that's causing

5:03

an issue anywhere, in my case a personal trainer

5:05

who's just not being flexible with hours and things

5:07

making it, you know it's his thing not my thing and

5:09

I'm like oh it doesn't work for me. Not a

5:11

good thing not a bad thing. It's like we'll find a new

5:13

trainer that makes it work for me. That's all there is to it. It's a little

5:15

bit of friction. And the longer I

5:18

do it the more friction debt I accumulate. And

5:21

at some point like I said I don't have to pay

5:23

it off. I just have to eliminate it. Oh

5:26

of course you can pay it off if you want to. A lot

5:29

of y'all doing that right now. Get

5:31

rid of it. I asked

5:33

a bonus thing I wanted to give you because it arrived this

5:36

morning and everybody took notes and I thought

5:38

well there you go it must be something that's interesting

5:40

to people. I certainly got interested in myself. But

5:43

the real reason for today's show is four simple

5:45

questions to help you find your passion. Now

5:48

you know I'm kind of passionate about passion. I've made it

5:50

a bit of an expertise of mine. I

5:52

study it deep. I spend many many hours every single

5:54

week working with people to get there. We figure out

5:56

how to make it happen. I've made it something I'm

5:58

just dedicated to. I

6:01

take that back. I didn't make it something I was dedicated to. I just

6:03

kind of found my place there. I did. I said,

6:05

I'm in, I'm into this. Let's go master it. So

6:08

if I could ask you a couple of questions to get you started, now I'm not

6:10

going to lie to you. It's about uncovering

6:13

and discovering your passion. It's not about finding it

6:15

on a street quarter. Oftentimes

6:17

it's about basically having the courage to go

6:19

do something about it. We have to

6:21

dig down deep and unearth everything. I kind of make a little

6:23

bit of a mess before we start seeing the things we don't

6:25

want. We get rid of the friction, we get rid of the

6:27

clutter and what's left is stuff you love. But

6:30

oftentimes it starts with a couple simple questions. And

6:34

if I can give you four questions and you would answer

6:36

them, if I could do that

6:38

and you started thinking differently about passion in your

6:41

life and I say passion, it's what you love

6:43

to do. I remember passion leads to motivation and purpose

6:45

and meaning and legacy because when you're passionate, it's about something

6:47

you get excited about. You tend to do it more. You

6:49

should do it more. You get better at it. You enjoy

6:51

it more. Now it becomes something you really want to do.

6:53

You have purpose in life.

6:55

So it's important to find this simple

6:59

questions that open your mind. You're ready for

7:01

them. I think your

7:03

mind's about to explode in a very good way. And these

7:07

are so simple. Let me just frame this and say

7:09

they're so simple. You might just run right past it.

7:12

But my guess is even if you run right past it,

7:14

if you take the time to listen to these questions,

7:16

it's going to do something to your subconscious mind that

7:18

you might not even recognize. And you're

7:21

going to be someplace different this afternoon because of it.

7:23

They're so simple. You

7:25

might turn the podcast off. Oh

7:28

man, I waited seven minutes and 30 seconds and

7:30

that was the question. Okay.

7:33

Number one, what

7:37

can I spend my time

7:39

doing that causes me to

7:41

lose track of myself and

7:43

time? That's a big one for me. I

7:47

find myself that when I'm kind of in that

7:49

default mode, I'm not watching the

7:51

clock. I'm

7:54

not even paying attention to myself. What

7:58

do I do when that happens? The big

8:00

clue for me is if I check my watch I

8:03

wear a watch. I don't check it. We're doing

8:05

good. I Check it. We're not

8:07

doing good. I Have

8:10

three more number

8:12

two What

8:15

sort of activities do I spend my money

8:17

to participate in Not

8:21

good or bad, there's no judgment here on how you spend your money.

8:23

I don't really care about that All

8:26

kinds of ways to spend your money so

8:28

judgment here However, the way

8:31

you choose to spend your money is a real indication

8:33

of what you're interested in Where

8:36

do you put your money? Give

8:39

it to good causes or should

8:41

cause going out on Friday and Saturday night and felling

8:44

up at the bar Again,

8:46

no judgment here, but where you spend your

8:48

money is a really indication of what's important

8:51

to you Number

8:54

three What

8:57

areas of my life do I

8:59

fear judgment What

9:04

scares you If I did

9:06

this, oh my gosh I've noticed

9:08

in my time in my time working with myself and I've

9:10

worked myself for gosh most my whole life Basically, I mean

9:12

there was a few years early on way didn't think about

9:15

myself But eventually I said I got to figure myself out,

9:17

right? But I noticed work with

9:19

tens of thousands of people at this point That

9:22

usually there is a judgment thing and oftentimes it

9:24

comes out like this I ask them something they'll

9:26

give me the answer and they'll be hesitant. I'll

9:28

say what's going on Well, if I did this,

9:30

oh, you know what? Well, mmm My

9:33

wife think my boss think I think It's

9:37

pretty common. It's more common than you think and

9:39

I typically go right past it But

9:42

when I see it happen, it's a little bit of a validation

9:44

to me that we're on the right path Because if I can

9:46

get you a little bit uncomfortable, I Can

9:49

get you a lot uncomfortable and I can get you a lot uncomfortable.

9:51

I can change it for the better So

9:54

what areas of my life do I fear judgment? Number

10:00

And my

10:03

last question, what

10:06

makes my heart race? Now

10:09

we've all had our heart

10:11

races and fear. That's never any

10:13

good. Is it? Oh my

10:15

God, I got busted. Oh no. Happens.

10:18

We've all had a couple of times in our life, right? What am I going

10:20

to do? It's

10:23

just like laughing and screaming and pure, pure

10:25

excitement and happiness. It sounds a whole lot

10:27

like screaming and agony. If you're 50 feet

10:29

away, you don't know what it is. The

10:33

same thing with making your heart race. It can race for

10:35

all kinds of reasons, but

10:38

you know the kind I'm talking about, what

10:40

makes your heart race in a way that you go, Oh

10:42

my gosh. For a

10:44

lot of people, it's, it's that

10:46

person you married for

10:49

some mothers. It's the first time they held a baby. Maybe

10:53

early on. It's all about that first job or that

10:55

first opportunity. I don't know what it is. There's all

10:57

kinds of things that make your heart race, but it

10:59

doesn't happen all the time. That's for sure. What

11:02

if you could identify when it did happen

11:04

and create that in your life, spending

11:08

your time, losing track, spending

11:11

your money on what you love to do. What

11:13

areas do you fear you're afraid of and,

11:15

and, and what makes your heart race? So

11:21

we do our own sound effects around here. There's no

11:23

sound effects. I just do my own. That's a serious

11:25

professional skill there. You got to admit that. Okay. Unless

11:28

I get this wonderful coaching group. If you'd like

11:30

11:32
