How are you? Come on in here. We are talking rules today. Rules, what if you could have some rules you could follow? They just were. It is what it is. And if you knew them and you followed them, you could just relax and say, well, that's what it is. Let's do it. That would make life easier, wouldn't it? You could kind of take a breath knowing that it's just going to be what's going to come your way and you just can't change it. And we'll talk about that today. Now, if you don't like rules, we might have a problem with that, but we'll talk about that as well. Here in just a minute. It is a daily boost from Motivation.com. Every single day, this is what we do. My name is Scott Smith. Happy to have you here today. Have you ever been doing what you love to do? I've done this show a long time. It is second nature to me.

I can do it in my sleeve. I think sometimes I almost have ideas all the time. I just walk in. I do it and it just keeps growing every single year. It's pretty awesome. Thanks for that. Today I'm in my studio and it's a beautiful day and I said, I'm done, nothing else to do. Let's get get out of here let's go down to the beach and I went down to Daytona Beach down to Beach Street there's a nice coffee shop down there and just took myself down there and said I'm going to have a good cup coffee and I'm sitting there and joining my latte and it dawned on me that I had not yet recorded the very podcast you're listening now I had not done it yet completely slipped my. So I had to get up and come all the way back home. Fortunately, I was on my motorcycle, so it wasn't that bad at experience. Here we are talking about rules. So let's cover this first. Are you a rules person? Do you like the word rule? A lot of folks do, a lot of people don't. I mean, I'm kind of a rules guy. Once I know the rules,

I stay between the lines, because I think certain things are good for you. We'll talk about that today.

Sometimes as a rules person who likes to bend the rules, which would be me as well, I like the word no,

sometimes. What I find is people, when they think about rules, sometimes the no

word comes into play. Do you like to say no? Most people I know like to say no, but they have

a hard time saying no. Do you like to hear no? I don't like to hear no. Do you like to hear no?

In my world, it's a perfect world if I never have to say no

and I get to say no to lots of people. That way I get to do what I want to do. But because there are certain rules in the world, I can't always do that, can I? It doesn't sound all that bad, really. Well, maybe it does. But if you want to move your life in the direction that you wanted to go, You don't want to be ruled, rude.

You don't want to get outside the lines too much.

You don't want to be, you know, kind of that guy over there.

It would be a nice. move your life in the direction that you wanted to go. You don't want to be ruled, rude. You don't want to get outside the lines too much. You don't want to be, you know, kind of that

guy over there. It would be a nice person. Enjoy your life. But still, you can say no. That's okay. Let's talk about some rules and some things to expect in this world. I have eight of them here, so we'll go through them 1 through 8.

How's that?

Number one, you know me.

I always say face your passion. I believe you should follow your passion.

Now, when I say follow your passion, I'm not saying some whimsical thing, go out and follow your passion.

Oh, let's find my passion. No. It's more like follow your calling, what's speaking inside of you.

The thing that says, I just got to do it.

The thing that you can't not do it.

The thing that will make you change everything to go do it.

And most of us have found those things.
