What does it mean to go deep instead of wide?

Eddie Pinero 0:00
We were sitting outside on the patio when a friend of mine said to me, people think they need to go wide. They're wrong. It's going deep that matters. We celebrate depth. We want to be around deep people. They're the ones who change things. And so-called deep people are not deep because they're born that way.

How can you find your own kingdom and pick up your crown?

Eddie Pinero 0:32
Deep people are deep because they find a world to call their own and lose themselves in it. Depth is creating your own kingdom and picking up the crown at your feet. And hearing that, sitting with that idea, it hurt. It hurt because I knew that I'd sacrificed depth in order to chase more. More of what doesn't matter. More of what isn't me. More of what might make other people happy. What does that create? Well, surprise, you now get to be mediocre at a ton of things you don't care about. Forget all that. Leave it. Leave it because the clock is ticking. Leave it because you can spend a lifetime chasing distant galaxies and orbiting around someone else's sun. Leave it because you can blink and realize you built your entire world in their image. But what if I were to remind you?

You are made of dust from stars. That's right, the same chemical makeup that once lit up the night sky. My friend, the universe is already inside you. It's just that this one needs permission to expand. This one needs you to stop asking the world for directions and understand you are already home. The thing is, you know. You know what's required of you. Just like I knew looking at my friend as he uttered those words. Two things. One, stop playing other people's games. And two, go all in on your own. Find your arena and light up the stage. Imagine if you went deeper on that thing that set your soul ablaze. Imagine if you knocked on the door to your own personal infinity. What might live on the other side?

What does courage to go all in look like?

Eddie Pinero 2:47
Because it's easy to go wide, to dabble in many things or everything. But the courage, oh, the courage to go all in on your thing, the courage to admit, yeah, that path over there works, but it doesn't work for me, and therefore, I guess, it doesn't work at all, does it? Your greatness is directly correlated to your willingness to buy in to you, to not float on the surface, But to submerge to its depths and explore that place so many aren't willing to go. That place you, just a few moments ago, weren't willing to go. But now is a new day. A new starting point. To go, not wide, but deep. Depth is the only thing that will simultaneously save your soul and allow you to gift it to the world. So down, down, down to the part of you waiting to re-emerge, to light up the night sky once again. Down, down, down to the place where your internal universe connects with the external. Down, Down, down. I'll meet you there. Comparison is the thief of joy. We've all heard it before, and it's true. Sometimes. It seems like there's always a sometimes or an asterisk or a gray area.

How can comparison be a tool for motivation?

Eddie Pinero 4:54
Comparison can be an incredible tool in simply reminding you that you're playing small, maybe way too small. So from time to time, I'll use comparison to help me paint that picture, to create that outlook. Quick example. So on the shelves behind me and on my Audible library, on my phone, there's a ton of books and biographies about the founding fathers and other notable American presidents. Why? Well, because they lived lives of such courage. They lived with such conviction. They just lived differently than we live today. And it forces me to ask the tough questions. It's like, well, why? What makes up for that difference in magnitude? I mean, was it simply the times? Were they a product of their moment in history? Were they more determined? Did they have more self-belief, right?
Eddie Pinero 6:02
Where is this delta that I'm seeing when I look at their reality versus mine? You read Hamilton's biography, who's not a president, but you get the point. You know, and my toughest battles seem to contain the same level of intensity and weight as his decision to swat a fly. Right? So I'm going to run through three bullets that sort of frame my thinking.
