Summary

Make Your Life Feel Longer I want to live forever! Well, that’s what I used to say when I was a kid. As I passed a few birthdays and dealt with life’s challenges, I started thinking differently with a realization — My life, all of our lives are spent learning and figuring things out. While it can be tiring, it’s also what pours energy and meaning into our days. As we age, our knowledge deepens, our day-to-day get less attractive, and we lose our youthful drive. But Scott doesn’t do that. I’m way too stubborn. So what have I learned from being such a hard head dedicated to living a life experience like no other? The first thing is to slow down. That means breaking free from all those dull and automatic behaviors that are not serving you. Moving as fast as you can through hundreds of activities won’t get you anywhere. Eventually, you’ll realize that a slow, more focused approach is more effective. The next thing to do is study and learn as much as possible, and your perception of time will feel longer. And perception is reality. This works because as we get older, we know more, so life is easier. But, it’s the act of learning something new that creates stackable memories that make your life fill full, vibrate, and exciting. Finally, fire up your Anticipation Engine by taking the time to create 6 to 12 event horizons per year. In other words, schedule something in the future that gets you excited and never stops. Having positive anticipation in your life is a driving factor in living a happy life. Slow down, study, and anticipate. It turns out that living a long and happy life only requires that you think and act like a child. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	How are you? Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy Friday. Good to have you here today.
0:21.6	Man, it's a good day for me. I had a very interesting experience on the treadmill today.
0:27.4	I'll explain that to you. No, I didn't throw up, but I'll tell you what it is. But today, I want
0:31.9	to give you some ideas about how to make your life feel like it's longer. Life is already too long.
0:38.2	It's speeded up. No, you don't want to do that, you know. We'll talk about the day. It's going to
0:42.0	tie you with everything I've talked about all this week. Everything has kind of had a theme. You'll
0:45.1	find that the most weeks I'm going to be on a theme based on how I feel this week is kind of like this.
0:50.7	It is daily boost from MotivationToMove.com. The positive boost you need every single day
0:54.8	is a very simple concept. Long time ago, you know, the massive action thing, right? You already
0:59.4	know it's about massive action. Take massive action. Yeah, that's true. As Tony Robbins said,
1:04.7	your personal power comes from your ability to take action. Get out and do it. You rock on, Tony.
1:10.3	But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but then the thermostat goes off and everything gets cooled off
1:14.9	and you stop moving and it's like, what happened? Why did I lose my mojo? Life gets in the way
1:19.5	and challenges arrive. So this podcast is basically understanding that I want you to do something,
1:24.5	but I also want to be there for you and have you accept the fact that doing something's going to
1:28.4	cause something to happen in front of me that I'm not going to like in many cases.
1:32.4	So what do we do? We stand up. We take a step. We already beat. Why? Because we want something,
1:36.8	and we're not going to get it if we don't repeat and go after.
1:40.8	So for only 5,000 episodes, that's what the show does. I'm glad to have you here today.
1:45.6	My name is Scott Smith. I'm the founder and the chief motivating officer here at MotivationToMove.com.
1:50.2	This isn't just midweek football. It's wide-eyed,
