You've been told that finding your passion is woo-woo nonsense. You've been told that purpose will solve everything once you crack the code. Neither is honest. What's honest is this: most people already know what they want. They just won't get out of their seat and go after it. Today I'm sharing the simple formula I've used for decades to actually face what you want, build it, and live it. And the scientists are finally proving what I figured out years ago. If you've been stuck in neutral, press play. Featured Story A month ago, I walked into the gym unmotivated. I didn't want to be there. I'd been doing my routine, but something was missing. I spotted my friend Daniel and asked what he was doing. Buys and tries. I said I'd join him. He'd already planned the workout. Even grabbed the equipment for me. Free trainer. I did the same thing the next day with Billy. Then Rob. Two weeks in, the guys started asking me what I was doing before I even got through the door. This morning, mid-set on chest day at 225, Daniel said something that changed what working out means to me. Important Points The heaviest part of taking care of yourself is opening the front door. Once you're inside, momentum takes over. Passion isn't woo-woo. It's what you love and what you're willing to fight for. Stop letting people tell you otherwise. You already know what you want. You just won't get out of your seat and chase it. That's what we're fixing today. Memorable Quotes Passion is what you love. Passion is what you're willing to fight for. It's the stuff your heart already knows. You already know what you want. It may be buried a little, but you are not lost. You can rebuild and find it again. Exploration and fascination together equal facing your passion. That is the simple formula that has actually worked for me. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, explore the possibilities. Lift your head, open your eyes, and let yourself notice what is actually out there. Next, pay attention to what gets your attention. Do not judge it or analyze it. Just notice the pull and lean toward it. Finally, take a deep dive. Get fully immersed in what fascinates you and let it reveal your next path forward.
