Your World Within Podcast by Eddie Pinero

"All that is required of you is the strength to begin" - Eddie Pinero The greatest power we have is the ability to take one step forward amidst life's chaos and uncertainty. When we are strong enough to do that, everything else works itself out.

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail" - Emerson Tracks: 0:00 Life, The Greatest Of Teachers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEn9IPf4d8A 3:55 There I Will Be - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13qgxtUsrgE 7:05 Get Back Up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7eGSRJPuwc

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see" - Thoreau Our perspective is fundamental in creating our reality. While we operate under the premise that the world shapes our outlook, I believe the inverse to be true. The meaning we decide to give to objects, people and events is instrumental in creating the framework within which we operate. It's not what happens that affects us, but rather, how we interpret what happens. Our thoughts are the gateway to the lives we lead.

"Where fear exists opportunity awaits" - EP This episode is about the paradox we face every day as we make our way through life. The only way to grow is to dive head first into the uncompromising and all powerful nature that surrounds and overwhelms us. Interestingly enough, the harder we push against it, the greater we become. Every morning our fears, doubts and insecurities should be highlighted...not so that we can avoid them...but so they can set the stage for our individual expansion. Where fear exists opportunity awaits.

If you're waiting for the perfect time to become who you've always wanted to be, you'll be waiting forever...

"Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity" - H. Jackson Brown Jr. This episode is about the cost of inaction. The impact of a decision is not just predicated upon what we choose to do, but also, what we choose not to do.

"When the time comes, your eyes open and the sun lights up the room, hold on. Hold on to the treasures you found, the passion you felt and the journey you experienced. This daily venture should not be a departure, but a continuation of the extraordinary, for dreamers never truly wake." - EP Tracks: 0:00 A New You - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DRmNG-j294 3:54 The Psychology of the 1% - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItDjjHPegGU& 11:48 The Quiet Believers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn6ab3AZ4GM&

"To change your life you have to first change the stories you tell yourself" - EP This episode is about the simple understanding that people don't see what has occurred, rather, we see the implications of what has occurred. We bend and manipulate life so that it fits into our self prescribed narratives, rendering the nuance and the details almost meaningless. To sum it all up, life is changed not from external acquisitions, but internal shifts in narrative. Change the story, change your world.

"If you are not willing to be a fool, you can't become a master." - Jordan Peterson This episode is about not being afraid to start from the beginning. As Jordan Peterson states, the only way to become a master is to first be the fool. The road to excellence is a humbling one, but worth it in the end.

"All that counts is that for this day, for this session, I have overcome resistance" - Steven Pressfield This episode is about overcoming the temptation to skip the little things, deeming them irrelevant or unimportant. Inspired by Steven Pressfield's War of Art, I dive into his idea of resistance and how our biggest battle is fought with ourselves and the temptation to settle for mediocrity. As he states in the book, the writer's most challenging task isn't writing, it's getting himself into the chair and ready to write. It's the little things like consistency, preparation and self belief that set the stage for something greater.
