Breaking Through When You Feel Stuck

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Breaking Through When You Feel Stuck July 2, 2025 | Episode 5128 Host: Scott Smith Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels, stuck in neutral, or completely blocked from moving forward? You're not alone. After 20 years of coaching, Scott knows exactly what people say when they call for help. Today, he shares the surprising truth about why you feel stuck and reveals the one commitment that will get you moving fast. This isn't about fixing everything first – it's about finding what excites you so much you can't hold back the smile. Scott kicks off the episode by sharing his personal win at the gym – crushing 10 straight pull-ups after years of not being able to do them. The only downside? Nobody was there to witness his badass moment. This victory didn't happen overnight, and it perfectly illustrates today's lesson about commitment and forward momentum. Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs happen when you're willing to put in the work, even when nobody's watching. The real reason you feel stuck isn't because you have too much to fix – it's because you either don't know where you want to go or you're not actually excited about getting there. You don't need to clean up every mess before you start moving toward your goal, just like you don't need to clean the dirt at home before going camping in the dirt. The magic happens when you commit to only taking actions that move you closer to your goal, period – everything else becomes background noise. "Everything's a dream. Perception is reality. Goals are just a tangible way you take action on things." "If you can't get yourself off the base to head that direction, it just means wherever you want to go is not that exciting." "Your goal would be to find the thing that excites you, that's so big, you just want to run with it until you can't even hold back the smile." Get crystal clear on where you want to go – if you're spinning, it's because you haven't found a destination that truly excites you. Make a commitment to yourself that you will only take actions that move you closer to that goal, and let everything else wait. Keep going until you get what you want, fixing problems as they come up rather than trying to solve everything before you start.
