What if today wasn’t just another mark on the calendar, but a turning point in your story? Each day holds the potential to be mundane or monumental—it’s up to you to decide. There’s something calling you, something you’ve dreamt about, but have been putting off. It’s there in the back of your mind, waiting for you to act. Today is your invitation to give meaning to the ordinary, to breathe life into your aspirations, and to ignite the courage to begin. You don’t need anyone else to show you the way—you already know. Deep down, you know what step you’ve been avoiding, and today is the day to take it. Because when you bring light to your own world, you illuminate the path for others, too. So, what will you make today mean? Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletter Free Ebook: www.eddiepinero.com/ebook YouTube: www.eddiepinero.com/youtube
Full Episode
Today, it can mean absolutely nothing. Just one of many. Insignificant. Not so much good or bad as another X on the calendar. Or today can mean everything. And that's quite the contrast to hear me out. My point is you can right now make today matter. Like, in this moment, you can bring significance to an otherwise bland, monotonous endeavor. You can bring light to a dark room. How?
How do I do this? Well, that's what's great. You already know. I don't. You do. You know what's been calling you because you know that thing you've wanted to try, begin, or explore. You know that thing you've been putting off. You know because you think about it. In fact, you probably think about it a lot.
You close your eyes and you dream about a world where you had the courage to simply do that thing. We all do. The other day, I was sitting in the sauna, listening to Sir Jordan Peterson's new book. Read all his stuff. In my eyes, the man is legendary. But for some reason, in that moment, I'm sitting there, I'm listening, and it dawns on me, this is not what I need right now.
My brain just can't go there for some reason. My soul's trying to speak. So I convince myself to listen. Inputs become outputs. And what's lacking for me in this season of my life is excitement. It's adventure. It's inspiration. And so I point all the spotlights to this realization. For the next X number of weeks, I immerse myself in story. It's fiction now for me. Leave home. Do things.
Not forever, but break the cycle. Rent a cabin in the woods. Walk places you've never walked. Run places you've never run. Push creative boundaries. Try new things. Listen. Because you know what you need. And so I mention this to Ashley, who's a big part of the team over here. Send her a picture of some books I have on Audible that I've never read. You know how we do that?
Most books are purchased and not consumed. Guilty as charged. And she says, oh, Tale of Two Cities. I have that one too. Let's both read it. And so it begins. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. In the beginning of the book, there's this note. explaining that Dickens didn't write this all as one book. No.
He released it to the public as a series of individual pieces, one part at a time. Though they've obviously come together to comprise one of the greatest novels ever written. And so I hear that and I press pause. Whoa, what did you just uncover here? How different this approach must feel, setting aside the novel in totality to make each individual contribution impactful.
I guess the same way a Netflix series is so intriguing. We're not watching one 10-hour movie. That would be absolutely brutal. No, but we'll sign the dotted line to watch ten one-hour movies, back to back to back to back to back, no question. Each one with a different problem to be solved.
Whether we realize it or not, each little episode, while contributing to the overall plot, has its own beginning and middle and end. Each one is a journey. Each episode contains a cliffhanger, a bridge to what's next, and how badly do we want to know what's next. That's why we're so intrigued. why we gladly jump from one chapter to the next.
