Well, almost happy new year.

How are you?

Is it your goal this year to be happy?

I think most people, generally speaking, whether they think about it or not, that's kind of the goal.

Whether they define it that way or not, but it's kind of the goal.

We'll talk about that in a very stoic way today. I need a boost.

I need a daily boost.

I need a daily boost.

I need a daily boost. It is the daily boost from Motivation to Move.com. How are you? My name is Scott Smith. Good to have you. I'm wrapping up in a year here. Going to wrap out today, I think we're going to go down to this little place down on the beach here in Daytona Beach called North Turn. And one of our favorite bands is going to be there. and I told my wife that. I said, honey, one of our favorite bands. They're called Hayfire, and they're great in this area. They're going to play New Year's Eve down there. And she looks at me, she goes, what time? I said, New Year's Eve. She said, what time? I said, New Year's Eve. What time? I said, 12 o'clock, midnight. And she looked at, well, they could be playing midday. I mean, people go out in the middle of the day. And she's right. But, man, I almost got in trouble there. So happiness, that's our subject today. So I can be stoic sometimes. A lot of people accuse me being stoic. I am practical more than anything. I tend to, I see all shades of the world, but there's a lot of black and white to me. And so I almost approach everything like that. And when I work with my clients, mostly business, mostly career people that I'm working with, usually I find them kind of in the messy middle. They're kind of between life begins when you move and life gets in the way, between the lines, as I'd like to talk about. And in that place, we're trying to figure out how to be happy. I think that's the mess and that's where the happiness is found. So let me jump back a little bit in how the Stoics would have looked for a happy life. And maybe as you get into 2026, you can apply a few of these things because it's kind of easy. It's kind of easy stuff. And this will make you so happy. So listen closely here, right? The first thing, if you were a stoic right now, you would not enslave yourself to annoying people. Think about that one for a second. In other words, you wouldn't hang around annoying people. You wouldn't put up with it. You would eventually move on. I'm not saying you can do that all the time, but you'll figure out something really fast. And I live in this world, by the way. I'm usually kind of amazed when I see an annoying person. How did they get so close to me? Because I just don't have them in my life. And sometimes I get tricked. Sometimes there's that, as they say, perfect alignment. And I go, Okay, let's move on. But don't do it. If somebody's annoying you, situation's annoying you, move on. Choose reasonable expectations.

Now, I personally, in this case, I think you always should. When you're going after a goal, you have to have some expectation that it's reasonable to do to do at the same time kind of conflicts too

because sometimes what we want to do is not reasonable at all but for the most part throughout the

course of your day if you want to be happy choose something reasonable in your expectation and

therefore you will never be disappointed premeditate those expectations think about it before you

do it before you get into anything what's it going to be like? What's your response going to be to something? What's your experience going to be? Just think about it for just a second. And that way you're not surprised by whatever direction it goes. It's going to make you happier. You are a mind operating in a bag of chemicals that you call a body. You hear that a lot.

I think Wayne Dyer said something like that.

But the truth is it started, at least back in the stoic days,

and probably further earlier than that.

Stop pretending that you know things are bad.
