0:20

Come on in. By the way, if you heard

0:22

me speak last week about my 60-minute coaching sessions

0:25

that are going away at the end of the

0:27

month, they have to purchase them and they

0:29

have to be completed by the end of June. You

0:32

got a few more slots available, just go to motivationtomove.com, check

0:34

it out if you would like to talk to me. It's

0:36

an introductory kind of deal that will go away by

0:39

the end of the month, just want to let you know

0:41

about that, okay? So today, feeling funky?

0:44

Because you know my philosophy on, let's see, some people listen

0:46

to the show and they're in a funk. I

0:48

mean, life gets that. Life puts you in

0:50

a funk a lot. But I

0:52

think when you're in a funk, what you should do is

0:54

put some cheesy disco music on from the 70s and

0:57

make it funky. That's it, play that funky

0:59

music. Yeah, baby. That's how we

1:01

should do it. Today we're

1:04

talking life with no limitations and

1:06

no consequences. A topic that I like

1:08

a lot, because I think people run into this all the time,

1:10

if you have felt limitations or felt like there are consequences to

1:12

the things you want to do in life, today's going to be

1:14

the show for you. That is the promise, good

1:16

to have you. It is the Daily

1:18

Boost from motivationtomove.com, doing this thing for, in

1:21

our 18th season right now, so thanks for

1:23

stopping by the most unorthodox personal development, personal

1:25

growth show on the planet because we fill the gap

1:27

between the people who are saying, let's go. And people

1:29

going, Kumbaya. And we're in the middle of someplace basically

1:32

saying, okay, I get all the stuff you've tried and

1:34

all the stuff you've done, but day to day is

1:36

it working for you? That's where we live.

1:39

If it's not working for you, why do it? Right?

1:41

And it's hard because we got relationships and we have

1:43

bosses and wives and husbands and kids and all

1:45

that stuff. And I will tell

1:47

you in, man, is it 80% of

1:49

the conversations I have? It

1:52

is not the stuff that you can or cannot do. Not the

1:54

stuff you will or will not do is not the stuff you

1:56

want to do or not want to do. It's

1:58

not that stuff. you in your orbit,

2:01

the people, the things, the stuff, that's the stuff that

2:03

gets in the way. So

2:05

until you can realize that you got to manage that, you're not

2:07

going to get anywhere. Okay, let me get on with the show.

2:09

Okay. You just got me going there. This

2:11

way it is. It's what I do. I take off running fast. My

2:14

name is Scott Smith. Good to have you here

2:16

today. By the way, quick story before I start.

2:19

I feel so, um, I

2:23

feel so bad. I feel, um, I

2:26

had a breakup yesterday and

2:29

if we were really bad about it, I feel I

2:32

am broken up with a little, it's been a long

2:34

time. I went

2:36

to physical therapy because you know, I had a hip replaced

2:38

about, uh, six weeks ago. I

2:40

just wore it out doing fun stuff. That's all. Decided

2:43

to get it done while I was

2:45

younger and healthier. And I've been going to

2:47

physical therapy and they've been taking such good care of me. All

2:49

these medical professionals have been so kind and so nice and it's nice to

2:51

be taken care of, isn't it? So

2:54

I've been enjoying that. Get

2:56

out of my truck, walked

2:58

across the parking lot, walked in the door and there's Keith standing

3:01

at the window, my physical therapist for the day. He

3:04

says, Scott, let me ask you a question. Do

3:08

you really need us? Do you really need to be here?

3:11

So, uh, I don't know. So

3:14

I just saw you walk out of a truck. You just jumped

3:16

out of your truck. You came walking across the parking lot like

3:18

nothing. Do you really

3:21

need us? Cause we don't think you do. We've talked

3:23

and we just think it's time to let

3:25

you move on. So, well,

3:27

I don't know. Do you think I

3:29

don't need you? I don't think I said it like

3:31

that, but I said it pretty close to that. Yeah. We

3:33

think you're good. So get out of

3:35

here and go to the gym. Okay.

3:38

So you're never here. You're not going to pay a dime for

3:40

this. I feel it's kind of weird, right?

3:42

But you know, we get in that comfort zone, that comfort zone

3:44

where you're being taken care of and you know, whenever you hurt

3:46

yourself or you get a surgery and stuff like that, it's a

3:49

big deal to kind of adapt to it. I got a thing

3:51

in me. I look like if you look at the x-rays, go

3:53

online, look at x-rays of having a hip replaced. It looks like

3:55

the Terminator. It really does. So you

3:58

got to work through all that stuff. I want to tell you that story anyway. Let's

4:01

talk about life limitations today and life consequences

4:03

today. So I've been really

4:05

defying life limitations and

4:07

life consequences ever since I was a kid. As my mom,

4:10

she will tell you, she's

4:12

an isolated and she doesn't tell bad

4:14

stories about me, but she will tell you I have

4:16

challenged just about everything in my life. I never

4:18

saw a limitation that was in my way. Once

4:20

I finally recognized that I got over it and

4:22

I never really cared too much about consequences because

4:25

I recognize something. Ultimately,

4:28

while there are real limitations, most of them are just in

4:30

my head and consequences are not always bad. We'll talk about

4:33

this in a second here. But

4:35

what if everything you did today came

4:38

with no limitations and

4:41

no consequences? What would

4:43

your life be like? Think about it for a second. You're

4:45

at the office today. You have no

4:48

limitations. You have no restrictions. You can do anything you want to do.

4:51

You want to make some more money today? There's no limit on that. What

4:55

did that happen? Don't get me

4:57

wrong. Limitations can be very helpful. You're

5:00

staying within a speed limit. From

5:04

you know, it's good because you don't get tickets, right? But

5:07

imagine you went down to the bank today. You said,

5:09

listen, there's no limitations in my life. I've got $102.33

5:12

in my checking account and that's all I've got in the

5:14

whole world. But I'm going to go down today and I'm

5:16

going to withdraw a billion dollars. That's

5:18

how you try to know in the bank. Everybody's looking at you like,

5:20

what are you crazy? When you get down there, there's no limitations and

5:22

guess what? They give you a billion dollars. So

5:25

much they had to close the bank because there was no more money for the day. What

5:28

if that could happen? What a strange kind

5:30

of way that can happen. I know it's kind of silly, right?

5:33

But what if it could? How would you react if you

5:35

could? There's no reason

5:37

you can't react that way anyway, right? So there,

5:40

you know, the limitations are useful. Like I said,

5:42

it keeps you from getting speed and tickets and

5:44

stuff. For instance, a good limitation also

5:46

leads to consequences because say

5:48

you went down to the bank and you withdrew a billion dollars and

5:50

it's cool. Now you're going really fast. You should have just bought a

5:52

Ferrari and you know, you're racing down the road and you do it

5:55

about 97 mile an hour and you go to a restaurant and have

5:57

some fun. You're going to celebrate your billion dollar, no limitation life you

5:59

now have. So you get on down

6:01

there and you get pulled over

6:03

by a kind police officer behind you on a motorcycle, very

6:05

likely like the road king I ride, but he rides better

6:07

than I do because he's how I trained individual. He

6:10

pulls you over. He says, do you know what you were doing? You

6:12

know how fast you were going? So I have no idea. All I

6:14

know is I got a billion dollars in my pocket and I'm going

6:16

to go spit it. Have

6:18

a nice day, sir. And he lets you go. Sometimes

6:21

there are consequences for your actions and they're good, right?

6:25

Again, silly, silly stories, silly metaphors.

6:27

That's what I do for a

6:29

living. I don't want to pick

6:31

stuff up and it's good. But what if you

6:34

took the limitations off yourself? Whatever something you wanted to do,

6:38

see, limiting yourself to a bad job, a job

6:40

that doesn't serve you is not really good, is it?

6:44

But I need the money. It's so

6:46

hard to go find a new one. What if I don't get

6:48

something better? What if there's nothing out there?

6:51

You're limiting yourself to something. It doesn't serve you. What

6:54

if you have a bad relationship? I'm not saying get divorced or anything. There's a

6:56

lot you can do. But

6:58

it doesn't serve you to have a bad relationship, to limit

7:00

yourself to what you could actually have. It

7:02

doesn't serve you. And again, I want to be very clear

7:04

about something. Sometimes there are limitations,

7:06

but also sometimes there's artificial limitations in front

7:08

of you. And

7:10

sometimes you can make it better with the conversation. Limiting

7:15

yourself to something that doesn't serve you, that's bad,

7:17

bad, bad. Fear

7:20

of change usually creates limitations, by the way.

7:23

Fear. Make personal development

7:25

nerds, recite it what it means.

7:28

Fear false evidence of hearing real. You

7:32

know what that is, right? That's some guy like me made it up one day

7:35

and put it out there for you to spend money on it. That's

7:38

what happened. Like smart goals, same thing made up by a guy like me. It's

7:40

okay, acronyms are cool. If you're

7:42

an air, if you're a pilot, you know acronyms are all you have, right?

7:45

Fear false evidence of hearing real. Come on real

7:47

close. Scott Logic is coming to you real fast.

7:49

Get ready for this. You might not want to

7:51

hear it, but sometimes I got to tell you, sometimes fear is freaking real. It

7:55

isn't fear real, it is real. It's scary, right? Sometimes

7:57

it is. True or

7:59

true. It's a motivational thing. True or true?

8:02

Automagically, it happened. See, I'm

8:05

going deep today. Fear of

8:07

change usually creates limitations and fear

8:09

can sometimes be really real. Or

8:12

is it fear of bad consequences? Though

8:17

let's accept fear is gonna be real. We

8:19

just have to decide if it's real or not, that's all. And is it

8:22

gonna lead to a bad consequence? I have to tell you, if you think

8:24

you're gonna get a bad consequence, you're gonna be scared to death. You're

8:27

not gonna move. It's gonna keep you right where you are.

8:29

We'll talk about that a little bit later this week. If you're

8:31

afraid something is not gonna work out the way you want it to

8:33

work, there is a consequence that you think is bad, you're gonna be

8:35

afraid of it, you're not gonna move. You

8:38

might have read it, living in fear. And

8:40

living in fear is a scary place to be. But

8:43

what if all the consequences were good? Huh?

8:48

What if everything you did today, that actually

8:50

turned out really well? You didn't

8:52

even think twice about the fact that it wouldn't be good.

8:55

You could make any change you wanted in your life and get a consequence

8:58

from it and it was just positive and good. Let's

9:01

go a little further. What if it wasn't? But

9:03

what if it didn't matter to you? What if you said, I don't care

9:05

what happens, I'm gonna still see it as good and find my way. I'm

9:07

optimistic. Optimistic's being

9:10

good. Optimistic

9:13

make you live longer, make you happier. Sometimes,

9:17

remember when I was first dating, I was scared to death,

9:19

I asked my wife for a date. Scared

9:23

to death. Fear, hold

9:25

me back. Now, if you get to know Scott, that's

9:28

me. You know that Scott can hold

9:30

me back very long. It's just not because I'm

9:32

gonna see the reward on the other side, I'm sorry, I'm through

9:34

it, let's go. I'm gonna get through the fear. A consequence to

9:36

me could be good. So,

9:39

am I afraid of hearing the word no? Hmm,

9:42

not really. I'm probably afraid of not

9:44

getting what I want. Mostly.

9:48

Limitations are real, consequences are real. Limitations are

9:50

also good and bad and consequences can be

9:53

good and bad. It depends on

9:55

how you see it. So if you realize that and you think

9:57

like I do, live in a world

9:59

of absolute reality. and thinking miracles can happen as

10:01

well. It's pretty easy to

10:03

accept that life is real and stuff is

10:06

real like limitations and consequences. Also, it's pretty

10:08

easy to say life can be limitation

10:10

free and consequences can always be good. You can

10:13

live in both those worlds. I

10:15

think when you live in one or the other is when you get in

10:17

trouble. You're

10:21

a human. You

10:24

are born with a mind that has the capability to

10:26

see it both ways. And

10:28

you do yourself an incredible disservice when

10:30

you decide to stay in one way of

10:33

thinking. What

10:35

if today there were no limitations

10:37

on who you could be, what you could say, where

10:39

you could go, what could happen in your life? What

10:41

if there were no limitations and what are the consequences

10:43

for every single thing you did today? It's

10:46

exactly what you wanted. And

10:49

I'm assuming that's good because some of

10:51

y'all, you're grumpy people and you're just

10:53

gonna want bad stuff to happen to you. I've met

10:55

you before. Hell, I've been you before from time to

10:57

time. It just happens, right? It's called being human. Eventually

11:00

we'll all get over that. We'll go away. We'll come

11:02

back to something else. I want to be a cat

11:04

next time because cats, I'm gonna come back as a

11:06

cat because well, you know why I gave a cat.

11:08

You know why I want to be a cat. All

11:10

right, see you tomorrow. Keep moving, gotta

11:13

get back up, boy. Keep moving,

11:15

gotta get back up.
