Summary

Episode Description You're doing everything right. Following the plan. Staying between the lines. But somehow you're not moving forward. Sound familiar? Most people spend their time stuck in this exact spot—safe, comfortable, and completely frustrated. I learned this almost 20 years ago when I started preaching "life begins when you move." Turns out, life always gets in the way too. The real work isn't just starting. It's what you do when you're stuck between the lines with something blocking your path forward. Featured Story Yesterday I was riding my Harley Street Glide on a two-lane road heading back into Deland. I found myself stuck behind a slow-moving truck. You know that feeling—when you can see the dotted line and you could pass, but you're just sitting there between the lines, safe but going nowhere? I had a choice. Stay stuck behind the truck or assess the situation and find my opening. That's when it hit me. This is exactly where most people live their entire lives. Between the lines. Safe. Following all the rules. But stuck behind something that won't let them move forward. The question isn't whether you can stay safe. It's whether you're willing to look around and gun it. Important Points Life always begins when you move, but life will always get in the way too—that's where the real work happens. Being between the lines keeps you safe, but safety becomes a trap when you're stuck behind slow progress. Most people know exactly what's blocking them but won't admit it—pointing it out is often half the battle. Memorable Quotes Life begins when you move, but life will always get in the way—most of your time is spent between the lines. Between the lines keeps you safe, but safety isn't where life happens—it's where you get stuck waiting. You can't do anything if you don't know what you have to fix—awareness is always the first step forward. Scott's Three-Step Approach Become aware you're stuck between the lines and identify what's actually keeping you there in that spot. Take a complete inventory of everything around you—look honestly at what's blocking your path forward now. Find your opening and make your move—get out from behind whatever's slowing you down and gun it forward.

By the way, thanks for the support all these years. And also thank you for putting up with me today. I'm a little flammy. Not because I'm sick. I feel fine. Thank you. But because I've been staying up late, I've been going out too much. I've been eating and drinking far too much of everything. Just praying for detox day coming January 2nd, right?
