Episode Description

In this enlightening episode of The Daily Boost, Scott Smith shares a simple yet powerful philosophy: do more of what you love and less of what you don't. Drawing from conversations with his Face Your Passion coaching group, Scott explores what truly matters to people on their personal growth journeys. From money concerns to spiritual fulfillment, from pursuing the "average perfect day" to balancing mental, physical, and spiritual health—Scott breaks down how different people define purpose and meaning. With his trademark straightforward approach, he reminds us that getting the little things right helps the big things fall into place, offering practical wisdom for anyone feeling stuck or seeking greater fulfillment.


Featured Story

Scott asked members of his Face Your Passion coaching group to describe what has become most important to them after a year of working on personal growth. Their answers ranged from overcoming financial concerns to spiritual connections, pursuing an "average perfect day," and balancing the six passions. Through these different perspectives, Scott illustrates how personal growth ultimately centers on doing what makes you happy each day rather than postponing joy for "someday."


Key Takeaways

  • Don't postpone joy for "someday"—incorporate what you love into each day

  • Memorable Quotes

    "If you do more of what you love and less of what you don't like to do, you're probably going to have a better day."


    "If you're not growing, you're dying. If you feel stuck, if you're frustrated, you just got to switch it around and say, 'What's going to make me grow a little bit?'"


    "If you understand the things that you enjoy in your life and you make it a point to do at least some of those things every single day, you're going to be at least somewhat happier."


    Scott's Three-Step Approach

    Identify your "six passions" – the aspects of life that bring you joy and fulfillment


    Incorporate at least some of these passions into your daily routine to create an "average perfect day"


    Focus on getting the little things right in your mental, physical, and spiritual health, and trust that the bigger things will fall into place
