Summary

What Life Used to Be Like Can you remember when you filled your thoughts with dreams and ambitions?   That’s how most of us live our early lives - until the real world splits into two distinct periods: 1) BEFORE life gets in the way. Anything IS possible. It’s a beautiful time when you run as fast as you can toward your goals. Even if your parents disagree. 2) AFTER life gets in the way. Anything WAS possible. Life is good, but it’s not what you expected. Your parents would have said, “I told you so.” What if it was possible to remember what you wanted and why you wanted it? What if you could stand on a foundation of wisdom and experience and combine what you have now with what you want?   That would be a great new life, wouldn’t it? Wait. It is possible.   You must remember what you wanted all those years ago and start running after it again.  Run fast. You’ve waited long enough. Learn more about your ad choices.

How are ya? Man, oh man, oh man, oh man. How are you doing? Are you awesome? I sure hope so. I know I am. Well today we're going to talk about life and the way it used to be.

0:29.0

Yep, what it used to be like and what it has become. We'll talk about that in a very simple way and if I get my way, I'm going to talk you into doing things your way today.

0:42.0

Is that okay? Hang on, we'll do it. It is a daily boost from MotivationAmoob.com. It's the positive boost you do every single day. We get out of bed in the morning, we go for it.

0:52.0

It doesn't matter what gets in the way, people around here just keep figuring out why because everything is figure outable and that's what we have to do. It's never going to be perfect. It's just not there's always something that happens and it's all there is to it. Yeah, workers so many people.

1:07.0

Now do you spend a lot of time? I probably eight hours a week on the phone or on Zoom with somebody. Clients, group calls, things like that. And I like that. It's about the right amount for me because I really get to constantly be working on lives. Most of my clients, now I was just looking the other day. I only have five clients these days. I pulled back to five.

1:26.0

I had too many and I pulled back to five to give me a little bit more time to work on other things because I really enjoy the five I have right now and most of them all except one ones about knew she's been here four or five months and everybody else is in excess of four years now. One of them is money is eight years.

1:43.0

And so it's neat about it is when we start looking at all things we do in life to get out of bed and make things happen and you start going through life changes and transitions in and jobs out of jobs moving not moving all that stuff.

1:53.0

And then you get the perspective of seeing years and years and years of seeing how folks deal with it. And you help them do it. It's pretty satisfying. So listen, I do not underestimate the power of sticking with this little thing that we call the daily boost every single day. If only because it's like, well, he keeps showing up. I keep showing up. If that's all it does.

2:11.0

Win or winner chicken dinner. Thanks guy. My name is Scott Smith. I'm the founder and the chief motivating officer here at Motivation of Move dot com.

2:19.0

Great. Fold. I have you here today. What's that? What's that y'all?

2:23.0

Dot com. Remember the dot com days. That's crazy. Did you go through that time? Dot com days. It's great until the dot com crash. But the thing, wait, this stuff happens right.

2:32.0

So let's talk about life. What life used to be like.

2:37.0

Because all of us grew up at some point. And if you're lucky, and I really mean they shed a great childhood, I did. I'd great childhood went, you know, right through school and everything. And everything was good. I was always my parents weren't incredibly.

2:49.0

Well, they were pretty conservative. I mean, they had jobs. They hate the fact I've been self-employed my entire life. They're like, oh, don't do that.

2:55.0

I'm an evil business owner. That's who I am. They had jobs.

2:59.0

But they had a real creative. I don't remember them ever doing anything real creative or kind of basic parents. And yet I turned out to be real creative and just did things completely differently.

3:07.0

So I feel like I was raised in that environment where I could dream and dream and dream and dream and dream. And to this day, you still get the benefit. I am 62 years old.

3:16.0

And I'm still dreaming like I was when I was 18. That is not going to stop anytime soon. I will not lose the energy that I have right now. I will be a kid to the day I die.

3:24.0

My voice might be scratchier, but we'll work on that. But do you remember a time when you were filled with thoughts and dreams and ambitions that anything was possible?

3:35.0

And you believed in it? Was there a time like that for you? And if not, is there a time now? Could you be that way?

3:45.0

Most of us live our early lives like that when we're young, invincible, anything is possible. I know I see you 20 somethings out there these days. I know, you know, my, come here, Rufo, just take pause here.

3:56.0

If you're in your mid 20s, and I'll save 20s up to maybe mid 30s, I don't have one piece of advice for you. First of you, you'll figure it all out. Just go out and have fun. You'll figure it all out. Be as cool as you can. Be nice. Don't run anything. Don't hurt anybody.
