Summary

Being Positive, Practical, and Peaceful I must admit that I get in trouble because some of the Scott logic that comes out of my mouth doesn’t sit well with many folks these days - and they let me know. One of the biggest comments… “You seem like such a positive guy, and then it’s like something clicks in your head and goes negative and ruins my day.” While I don’t think I ever go negative, I’ve heard that many times. Here’s the thing… It would be easy for me to get caught in the feel-good trap of chasing positivity - if only for being positive. But I’m not interested in that. I am interested in the results. For me, that is a peaceful, content, joyful, and meaningful life. If you’ve been alive for over a couple of decades, you know all of that is found lurking in the truth. That’s why I consider myself a practical positive guy, and you should too. I believe an optimistic attitude is power in life; I also think that you can never be truly happy until you are willing to dig deep into the not-so-positive challenges in life. Until you do that, you’ll you blocked. That’s why you’ll always hear me cover both sides. Frankly, I’m not interested in what we can and will do in our lives. I’m interested in the millions of interactions, decisions, and feelings we encounter daily that become the life we will have lived someday. Stephen Fry said, “sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Almost everything that freaks folks out begins with words from others and yourself. Keep that in mind because… When you choose to be positive and practical and ground yourself in the truth, you will become at peace with everything around you - including yourself.

0:22.4	about a week ago is now in full swing. So get ready to hang over the rides. It's gonna
0:26.8	be fun with this year. Folks are out there partying. Aren't they already? It's cool. So today,
0:30.9	we're going to spend some time talking about being positive and practical and peaceful.
0:34.8	Because some folks will arrive at the show thinking, Hey, let's get this positive upbeat guy,
0:38.1	the daily boost dude. And he's going to pump me up, but wait a second. But we'll talk about that
0:42.9	in a second about sometimes why you may not feel that way and why it is that way and why you should
0:47.6	be that way as well. It is a daily boost from MotivationAmov.com, the positive boost you need every
0:53.7	single day life begins when you move. Life is a moving target. Have you noticed? People say,
1:00.9	Scott, you say life begins when you move and stand up, take a step from repeat, keep going till you
1:04.8	get what you want. Why was this up before I get there? So what does that mean? Actually, as well,
1:09.2	even if you don't know what you're doing, you have no idea what direction to go. You have no idea
1:13.7	what to do in your business or your life or whatever is going on. How to work out? How to go
1:17.0	to die? Whatever. Even if you don't know, your job is to explore the possibilities surrounding
1:22.0	what you don't know. Just consciously and intentionally go into it saying, okay, I have no idea what I'm
1:28.0	going to do, but I'm going to go figure it out. When you do that, your life changes. And I'm going
1:32.2	to sit here and just give you a boy scout promise and tell you, and I was a boy scout. Yeah,
1:36.2	life scout. My brother was an eagle scout. He made life very difficult. So I never got to eagle.
1:40.8	But I'm going to tell you this, that when you commit yourself to exploring the possibility and
1:46.5	following the breadcrum, if you will, happiness is really quick to come. Because if you're
1:51.6	staying in that area, you're going to find what you love to do. And that's what I'm all focused
