Hidden in Plain Sight: Your Simple Path to Happiness

Episode Description

In this energizing episode of The Daily Boost, Scott Smith introduces a surprisingly simple approach to happiness that's "hidden in plain sight." Drawing from a recent coaching session, Scott shares his powerful "Six Passions" framework—categories of activities that bring fulfillment when incorporated into daily life. Instead of seeking complex solutions, Scott offers listeners an immediately actionable system for identifying what truly matters.

With his trademark "common sense" approach, Scott explains how dedicating even a few minutes daily to activities within these six categories can dramatically improve happiness and satisfaction. This episode delivers both practical wisdom and the motivation to implement it today.

Featured Story

During a Face Your Passion Coaching call, Scott was asked to explain his "Six Passions" concept—a framework he developed by categorizing activities that make him happy. Rather than focusing on complex solutions, Scott demonstrates how simply identifying and spending time on things you enjoy each day leads to greater fulfillment. The real secret? It's not complicated at all—just common sense that's often overlooked.

Key Takeaways

Happiness often comes from doing simple things you enjoy daily, not complex strategies

Scott's "Six Passions" framework consists of six categories: Personal, Purposeful, Connection, Spiritual, Abundance, and Legacy

• Personal passions include activities you personally enjoy (motorcycles, music, pets)
• Purposeful passions involve activities that fulfill your sense of purpose in life
• Connection passions ensure you maintain human relationships and community
• Spiritual passions address your spiritual needs and growth
• Abundance passions involve tending to financial and other resources
• Legacy passions focus on building the life story you want to leave behind
• Taking even a little time for each category daily leads to greater happiness
• End each day by asking "How's my life going?" and make adjustments as needed

Memorable Quotes

"If you just take the time to do stuff you like to do, at least a little bit every single day, you're going to be happier than if you don't take the time and you just spend your days doing the stuff you don't like to do."

"You can't have a great legacy if you don't build a great legacy."

"At the end of the day, the older I get... it's getting out of bed. It's do the next right thing. Next right thing for you."
