Finding Your Pocket in Life

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

In this introspective episode, Scott Smith explores the concept of finding your "pocket in life" - that sweet spot where everything flows naturally despite life's chaos. Through personal stories and analogies from music and football, Scott reveals how being in life's pocket leads to contentment and resilience amidst daily challenges.


Key Takeaways:

  • The question "What do you do when you're doing you?" helps reveal your authentic self beyond surface-level activities
  • The "pocket of life" is similar to musicians finding their perfect rhythm within a band's synchronized performance
  • Being in life's pocket means finding peace and harmony while chaos continues around you
  • Spiritual connection, whether through God or universal energy, helps maintain your position in life's pocket


Featured Story:

Scott shares a lighthearted story about his wife giving away his remaining Christmas candy canes to the grandkids because he was "on a diet." This personal anecdote introduces the episode's theme that life isn't always fair, but maintaining perspective and finding humor helps us stay balanced.


Scott's Three-Step Approach to Finding Your Pocket:

1. Recognize that life continues with its symphony of activities, chaos, and noise

2. Find your spiritual center or connection to something greater than yourself

3. Allow stress to flow through you while maintaining your position in the pocket


Memorable Quotes:

"Left to your own devices, left to whatever you want to do... What do you do when you're doing you?"


"The pocket is where you take yourself to a spiritual place... where you see yourself as one with everything while everything buzzes around you."


"When you're in the pocket, life is smooth... you're protected, you take a breath, you believe."
