Summary

You've been told that finding your passion is woo-woo nonsense. You've been told that purpose will solve everything once you crack the code. Neither is honest. What's honest is this: most people already know what they want. They just won't get out of their seat and go after it. Today I'm sharing the simple formula I've used for decades to actually face what you want, build it, and live it. And the scientists are finally proving what I figured out years ago. If you've been stuck in neutral, press play. Featured Story A month ago, I walked into the gym unmotivated. I didn't want to be there. I'd been doing my routine, but something was missing. I spotted my friend Daniel and asked what he was doing. Buys and tries. I said I'd join him. He'd already planned the workout. Even grabbed the equipment for me. Free trainer. I did the same thing the next day with Billy. Then Rob. Two weeks in, the guys started asking me what I was doing before I even got through the door. This morning, mid-set on chest day at 225, Daniel said something that changed what working out means to me. Important Points The heaviest part of taking care of yourself is opening the front door. Once you're inside, momentum takes over. Passion isn't woo-woo. It's what you love and what you're willing to fight for. Stop letting people tell you otherwise. You already know what you want. You just won't get out of your seat and chase it. That's what we're fixing today. Memorable Quotes Passion is what you love. Passion is what you're willing to fight for. It's the stuff your heart already knows. You already know what you want. It may be buried a little, but you are not lost. You can rebuild and find it again. Exploration and fascination together equal facing your passion. That is the simple formula that has actually worked for me. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, explore the possibilities. Lift your head, open your eyes, and let yourself notice what is actually out there. Next, pay attention to what gets your attention. Do not judge it or analyze it. Just notice the pull and lean toward it. Finally, take a deep dive. Get fully immersed in what fascinates you and let it reveal your next path forward.

I'm just like, man, that does some word that, give me tactical, give me practical.

I got to tell you, I haven't met anybody who doesn't want to have more impact and passion and purpose in the life.

So that's today.

I need a boost. I need a daily boost. I need a daily boost. As soon as I'm the daily boosts, me, Scott Smith, good and heavy. It's really actually true. And people like, some people say, I don't, I don't do the passion thing. As soon as I have enough money, they do they honestly got to do. As soon as the stress goes away of life, they get a peaceful base set, as soon as they get all the stuff, when you stop fighting and stop battling and stop doing all the things you think it's going to take to get there, you're like, dude, I just want to be passionate purpose. I just want to chill. It happens. So I just kind of start there first. I say, well, listen, if that's what we're going to get to anyway, let's go ahead and figure what we're going to do, get that in our life and figure out how to make a great living doing it, right? We'll talk about here in just a minute. But I want to give you some motivation if I may today and show you how I did something that I think you can use as well. Because I tend to be kind of a, I like to be a joyful guy. I like to be a kind guy. I like to be, you know, just the guy that's friendly and you can talk. It's how I like to be. I have a practical tough guy too as well. But the same time, I like to be kind of a nice guy. It's what I do. But about a month ago, I was finding myself unmotivated when I went to the gym. I needed to change. So I made really good friends over there. Got about four or five friends that I just know all the time, see him every morning. And I walked in one day and I just said, I saw Daniel. And I said, hey, Daniel, what are you doing today? He said, I'm doing buys and tries. I said, I'll do that. And I just jumped into his workout.

2:35.2

Well, it's cool, too, because you know what?

2:36.7

He had the workout already planned, and then he knew he needed some equipment. So he went and got it and brought it back to me. I got a free trainer too. It was awesome. I did it with Billy, did it with Rob, did it with a couple other people as well. And about two weeks into it, I noticed I walked in the door, and before I hardly got into the gym, one of them came to me and said, what are you doing today? They asked me. I said, I don't know. What are you doing? And they'd tell me, I said, okay, let's do it together. And we'd do it. That's been about two weeks now. So this morning, I'm doing chest workout with my friend Daniel. And I'm pushing pretty hard. I'm at 225 for a guy my age, guy my height and size and weight and everything else. There's a lot of weight. I mean, very few guys can actually bench 225.
