About this episode

Scott Smith introduces the Daily Awareness Diary, a tool for self-reflection and personal growth through daily questions.

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…
