Summary

When will you get yourself to do what you say you want to do? More people than you know lose sleep over that question. If that sounds like something you have experienced, you’re not alone. Almost everybody begins their journey when a thought pops into their mind. Then, day-to-day life keeps them busy, and they spend frustrating months fixin’ to get ready. You know, starting to prepare… so you can begin to do… so you can do… and say you did. If that doesn’t work, you summon your friend, Will Power. Will is not a person, but more like a kind of friend that you don’t know why you keep letting into your life. They are a bit of a slacker, live rent-free in your mind, say they want to help, and never deliver on their promise. Will’s job description should read -- to force you to do things you say you want to do but can’t get yourself to do. When you give up, Will leaves. The good news is, there’s no need to force yourself to do anything. Achieving your biggest goals in life has nothing to do with Will Power. Instead, shift your mindset - “To act at your discretion without constraint.” That’s the definition of Free Will, Will Powers, good cousin. Use your Free Will to harness your excitement and choose the path of least resistance. Start making the slightest changes in your life. Those steps will lead to big results sooner than you think.

0:28.4	to the gym and boom, we're there because I had a good time over the weekend.
0:31.8	Did you? I hope so. Well, today I want to check about willpower and why your success in life
0:37.7	does not require willpower. It requires more willpower not to eat a crazy, crazy Thanksgiving meal.
0:46.0	Then it does to succeed in life. We'll talk about that today. It is the daily boost from motivation
0:50.5	to move.com. The positive boost you need every single day. I'll leave you with a little bit of
0:55.3	something, something today, something to pump you up, give you some ideas, a little strategy,
0:58.4	little tactics, but here's the thing. Okay, come here. We'll close to me for a second.
1:01.7	If you're listening to me for a long time, I am just a guy that does what I do. There's no,
1:06.1	there's no, there's nothing here other than the fact that I just want to show up knowing that
1:10.1	if I do what I do, a side benefit of what I do and what I share with you might get inside your
1:15.3	head, get you thinking just a little bit, maybe leave you a little bit more motivated and it might
1:18.5	change the trajectory of your life. I'm not trying to be fancier than that. I've tried before. It

1:27.7	just be who Scott is and knowing full well that maybe I'm speaking to you right now.
1:31.8	And by the end of this program, I will give you something that will turn you in a certain direction,
