0:20

my god, I'm looking at myself in the video monitor right now

0:23

Somebody asked me to record my show today, so I said,

0:25

okay You know, I've got that

0:27

silver fox plan I'm working

0:29

with my trainer right now, my wife is feeding me

0:31

according to the silver fox plan And

0:34

looking in the camera, I'm starting to become a silver fox

0:37

Can you call yourself a silver fox? Can you do that? Is that

0:39

okay? I think you almost have to, if you

0:41

set the goal A silver fox is, you know, an

0:43

older gentleman who's got silver hair, white hair, probably has

0:46

a beard Very attractive and

0:48

highly charismatic, and I'm thinking, okay, I'm checking off

0:50

most of the boxes there Not

0:52

bad, not bad I lose myself

0:54

in my podcast, let's get back to it So today, we're

0:57

talking about intentions Do you

0:59

have good intentions? Man, there is just a

1:02

waterfall of good intentions all over the planet right now A

1:04

lot of folks expecting to get something

1:07

for a good intention And I'm not saying you

1:09

shouldn't get something for a good intention Hey, bad

1:11

boy, bad boy, awesome, you and... But

1:14

do you get the prize? Not

1:16

necessarily, we'll talk about that today, okay, sometimes you do

1:18

though It is

1:21

the Daily Boost from Motivation to move.com, the positive boost you need

1:23

every single day My name is Scott Smith, happy to have you

1:25

here today, let me stop for just a second I

1:27

just recognized that yesterday I stepped up to the microphone here

1:29

And I was kind

1:32

of in your face for a little bit The

1:35

first four or five minutes of the podcast, I was speaking the truth I

1:38

was almost preaching to you there And

1:40

I caught myself in the middle of it, I said, wait a second Sound

1:43

like a motivational fire and brimstone dude,

1:45

can't do that So

1:48

I caught myself, I reeled back a little bit, but then I

1:50

realized I was speaking the truth And so much of what goes

1:52

on in this world is just not

1:54

the truth Everybody has

1:57

a mask on You

1:59

have a mask on, most of you people at MassCon.

2:01

So sometimes I get frustrated because I understand that the

2:03

very simple thing that you want to do to be

2:05

motivated, you got to rip the mask off to

2:08

get down to that sometimes. So if that offended you a little bit

2:10

or you got a little bit upset, sorry,

2:13

it was what yesterday was Wednesday, it

2:16

happens. So today

2:19

we're talking about intentions. So

2:22

if you happen to be one of the good

2:24

intention people on the planet, good

2:28

for you. I

2:30

think you should always have good intentions, I do. You

2:33

should always mean well. We all

2:35

should. I think most of us do. I don't know

2:37

too many people in my world who have bad intentions.

2:40

Like I said, a few weeks ago I never know anybody

2:42

who has made an intentional bad decision. I've been challenged on

2:44

that a little bit and I kind of agree with some

2:46

of the other side coming at me. But

2:48

I think most people have pretty good intentions. I know that

2:50

I do and I also know that I mess up. My

2:52

number one value is I will try to do the best

2:54

I can which would mean I try to be the best

2:56

intention I possibly can. When I

2:59

mess up and I will, I will say I'm sorry and

3:01

I will try again. Some

3:03

people say, Scott, I thought your number one value is

3:05

family and honesty, integrity and a work ethic.

3:07

Yeah, I had all that stuff but I just realized that when

3:09

I said my number one value was to try the best I

3:11

can, if I mess up, I'll say I'm sorry and try again

3:13

and work for me better. Isn't

3:16

that what it's all about though? Finding what works

3:18

for you better. Finding

3:21

something that resonates with you. So

3:23

don't copy me, get ideas

3:25

from me and then make it your own.

3:27

Find out what works for you. Be your

3:29

own person. You'll be happy for it. But

3:33

good intentions. You get out

3:35

of bed every single day, plant your feet on the ground and

3:37

start getting things done and

3:40

you do it with an intention. Is

3:43

it a good intention or is it just bad

3:45

intention or is just you just kind of meaningless going through the

3:47

day? It's kind of two days in a row I'm talking about

3:49

that stuff right? If

3:51

you take a minute you'll notice a happy is

3:53

the most successful and content people in

3:55

life live a life of intention.

4:00

Intention is not a magical force reserved for a

4:02

special few at all. It implies a little more

4:04

than what you plan to bring about in your

4:06

life. You have to do something about it. Living

4:09

with a set of values and belief system, whatever that happens

4:11

to be. If you

4:13

do that, you're living

4:15

intentionally. And sometimes it's not

4:17

the easiest thing to live intentionally because whatever you decide

4:19

to do that's good for you and you think probably

4:21

good for the greater cause as well, it's not going to

4:24

match up with everybody out there. But sometimes it does

4:26

too. People can

4:28

see folks as good intentions and good values and good beliefs. They

4:30

can see it. They can feel it.

4:32

It's an action. It's right in front of them. It's

4:35

real. So I was remembering my intentions when

4:38

I met my future wife, Joy. We're

4:42

going back a long time now. This is now we're going to be

4:44

together. I mean, this year is our

4:46

16th wedding anniversary. I

4:49

have known her 17 years because I met her about

4:51

six weeks after my first wife passed away and I know

4:53

how long my first wife has been gone. But

4:56

it worked out, right? She swooped in and saved me

4:58

or maybe she recognized a fine and grabbed me and

5:00

said, he's mine. That's what I like to think. Ask

5:03

her about it. She has a different story,

5:05

I'm sure. But I realized back

5:07

then, an intention was emerging in

5:09

my mind. Every

5:12

single passing day, that intention transformed into a goal. You know

5:14

me, I'm a goal-sitting kind of guy and I had a

5:16

beautiful woman right in front of me and she was single

5:18

and so was I. I'm like, oh, wait a second. I

5:23

need to plan along with a timeline.

5:25

I became obsessed and I was a mission to

5:28

succeed. I had

5:30

good intentions. But

5:32

more than good intentions was needed to get what I wanted.

5:34

See, in my case, I knew where I was heading. Joy

5:37

was only the beginning, she

5:39

was only beginning to understand what was on my mind. We

5:42

were dating, right? And she dated before, she's

5:44

a beautiful woman. I still don't like it.

5:46

I totally broke the rules. She

5:48

knew I was going to be around eventually. She should have saved

5:50

herself for me. That was exactly what I thought it should have

5:52

been. She didn't and

5:54

she told me about it. I don't like that either. One

5:58

day though, she asked me. She

6:01

recognized I was serious about what I was doing. I

6:04

was wearing my best clothes, I was polite, all

6:07

that good stuff. So Mr.

6:09

Smith, what are your intentions exactly? Ask

6:12

her, she'll tell you. She said those words. It

6:14

was at a French restaurant in Mount Dora, just

6:17

before I held her hand for the first time. But

6:19

without missing a beat, when she asked me that, I simply said my

6:21

intentions are very simple. I

6:24

will do anything possible to get you to fall in

6:26

love with me, marry me, and spend the rest of

6:28

our lives together. And yes, I said

6:30

it with that voice too. Probably slower

6:32

than that, probably waiting for the right beat of

6:34

music and just for the coffee to arrive. Her

6:38

jaw dropped. She

6:41

smiled and took a sip of that coffee. And

6:45

she said, well, we'll keep going

6:47

and see what happens. I

6:49

hate that answer from a woman. Let me take that back.

6:51

I hate that answer from anybody. I do. I

6:54

just, we'll see what happens. I don't like to see what happens to answer. Sometimes

6:57

see what happens is good. Sometimes we have to

6:59

do that. We have to value. But a lot of times,

7:01

have you noticed what we're really doing is waiting for all

7:03

hell to break loose and then we'll deal with it then, right?

7:05

That's kind of what it is. Think about something in your

7:07

life right now. Well, you're waiting to see what happens and you

7:09

know you shouldn't do that because it's not going to be good.

7:12

It's like, well, wait a second. I have

7:14

a generator outside, all right? It

7:16

hasn't been checked on by the maintenance guy in four

7:18

years and we just heard it's going to be a

7:20

big hurricane season here in Florida. So, but

7:22

you know, I'm going to see what happens. I spend

7:24

the money now. By

7:27

the way, he's here every six months for me. I don't wait

7:29

and see what happens so much, if anything. My

7:32

intention is to have electricity in a hurricane. Man.

7:36

We'll see what happens. We'll

7:38

see how things go. I already

7:40

know how things are going. Why do we need to wait?

7:42

I know my intention. I'm going

7:44

to get. That's what's going to happen. Of course,

7:47

I didn't say any of that to her, by the way. I did not. I

7:50

just smiled and held her hand. I won't tell you what

7:52

happened after that. Frankly, I don't remember, but

7:54

it might have been something else. You can imagine that. If you

7:56

come up with something good, let me know what it was. Okay,

8:01

so where was a. The.

8:03

I didn't see any that's of the her. She

8:05

i think school she did notice frustrated. To

8:08

me I was his w gone to me this was a sales

8:10

call us all this was I had a close the deal and

8:12

you know closing is really about the opening right as we are.

8:14

Oh and it is. And I already had a pretty

8:16

good openings or was on a roll. Years ago I had a

8:18

closer the or had a doorknob. My time. What? I had my

8:20

intentions. She was quite there yet, though,

8:23

Is getting when you one life does require knowing

8:25

her intentions for sure? I mean listen, dating is

8:27

a funny thing to do with anybody who's been

8:29

a the dating world vertically after seventeen or eighteen

8:32

years old. those it's no fun. It

8:34

takes a lot of standing by your intention to get

8:36

things to work on that. The

8:40

next step is always to take those intentions

8:42

and transport them into goals and actions.

8:46

But. You in your dreams are are not

8:48

living on an isolated island are they. If.

8:52

Others are involved. Bigelow.

8:54

Know what you have in mind, I.

8:58

Used to find the or play with joy all the time. Slicing

9:02

a ride a motorcycle, fly airplanes when you

9:04

meet somebody new single suddenly you're pretty popular.

9:07

Appeal year old time coming and Air Traffic Control

9:09

here in Orlando. And

9:12

as a pilot the state your attendance

9:14

has appeared as again. He wants

9:16

the know what I'm gonna do just like

9:18

I told joint. Glad I'm gonna do. What?

9:21

Are you gonna do? Have

9:24

you set up with an Uncensored today? Have

9:27

you submit your intention is. Does

9:29

that mean you're going get what you want? Probably not. It's

9:33

happened to cannot happen, who knows. What

9:36

if you don't have the intention? How can you set a

9:38

goal? How can you take action? And

9:40

if you haven't attention and you take off to do all

9:42

kinds of things that you don't tell anybody else about a

9:44

particular, those who can help you. Fight

9:46

until joy. That was my intention. What?

9:48

Would she have thought. What? If some

9:51

guy came up while I was. In

9:53

the restroom at a bar some place and

9:55

hit on her. Which. happened a

9:58

couple a times I

10:00

couldn't defend my prize, but she

10:02

knew my intention and she had kind of bought into that a

10:04

little bit, so she was with me. Have

10:07

you done that? Have you come up with a plan? Have

10:10

you stayed in an intention? Have you gone out after it and

10:12

you wonder why nobody's helping you? Maybe it's because nobody knows about

10:14

you. Hmm. Probably

10:20

got a partner in your quest someplace, don't you? But

10:23

who's your best partner? Who's your first partner?

10:27

You're sitting there today saying, you know what? I

10:30

really haven't decided what I want to do. I

10:33

want to change what I want to become. Well,

10:36

maybe I have decided, but I'm committed

10:38

to it, yet nobody's helping me. Maybe

10:42

you need to state it to somebody else. So

10:45

they can state it back to you and test

10:48

and validate and make sure you're serious about what you say

10:50

you want. Your intentions will

10:52

lead you to your goals and your actions will

10:54

create the success that you want for everybody around

10:56

you as well. So

10:58

live with intention every single day. Don't start a day

11:01

without it. Don't end a day without it. It's yours

11:03

all day long.
