Daily Awareness Diary
Daily Boost — Motivation and Coaching
Question 2: Prospection
Scott prompts listeners to set what will move them forward and make today meaningful.
Forget another seminar about listing values or spreadsheets of goals. Clarity comes from seeing yourself—most days you don’t.
Today, I’ll walk you through my Daily Awareness Diary: ten questions I use each morning with Face Your Passion clients. Ask yourself these questions daily for two weeks, then analyze the patterns they reveal to reveal who you are.
It's simple. It works. Press play and let me show you how.
Featured Story
Years ago, I had a friend on Facebook. We'd known each other a long time, but life happens, and we drift, and one day I realized I hadn't checked in with him in a while.
So I did. I clicked over to his page to say hi.
That's how I found out he had died. Two years earlier. Two years.
I sat there at my desk and let it sink in. The intention had always been there. I just kept thinking I'd get to it next week.
That moment is why one of the questions in my Daily Awareness Diary is now: Who do I want to connect with today?
Important Points
Most personal development adds noise. Strip friction—less reveals the right move.
If your life is a hot mess, you can't make a cool life. Build a peaceful base before chasing the next big goal.
Stop logging what you did yesterday. Audit how you felt about it instead — that's where your real patterns live.
Memorable Quotes
Less is more. More life, more happiness, more joy — it all lies on the other side of less. That's the real fuel.
If your life is a hot mess, you can't ever make it cool. The peaceful base has to come first, no matter what.
Get excited enough about anything, and you'll naturally do whatever it takes to get there. That's the real engine.
Scott's Three-Step Approach
Start with retrospection — look honestly at what stood out yesterday and how it actually made you feel inside.
Now project forward. Decide how you want to feel today and what one outcome will make today actually mean something.
End with the hidden signal. Write what you avoided and what idea keeps returning — then go live it out tomorrow.
