27 Nov 2024
Are we truly living, or are we slowly fading away? Each day brings us closer to the end, but the question is: are we making the most of the time we have? Emerson reminds us that it’s not the length of life, but its depth that truly matters. Too many sleepwalk through life, unaware of the incredible gift in their hands. Mistakes and failures are part of growth, but never trying—never truly living—only leads to regret. This episode is a call to wake up, to stumble, fall, and fight for what you believe in. Life isn’t about avoiding the cracks but about leaving your mark on a world waiting for your unique brilliance. So, what does truly living mean to you? How can you dive deeper into making each moment count? Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletter Free Ebook: www.eddiepinero.com/ebook YouTube: www.eddiepinero.com/youtube
Full Episode
Are we living or are we slowly dying? It's a question I recently came across and my mind said, hey, the second half of that is objectively true. We are slowly dying. Every day, every morning we wake up, we are one day closer to the end of our time here. Our bodies, the air we are renting with every breath we take, all of it signifies how temporary and finite this journey. We are slowly dying.
The question worth examining is, are we living? Emerson has a beautiful quote where he says, it's not the length of life, it's the depth of life. meaning it's not inconceivable that one could both have a pulse and sleepwalk through their entire existence. You can physically be present and still not totally understand the gift that is in the palm of your hand.
And so this is not a call for anything but for you to notice, to notice the choice, to notice what's at stake, to notice the fork in the road. In many ways, what happens out there comes down to those who notice and those who don't, those who see the opportunity and capitalize, and those who know not what they have. Remember, mistakes can be remedied.
Most missteps are completely reversible, even the most tragic steps backwards. They're often a step forward as the dust settles and time plays its part. What's impossible to justify, though, is never going. Regret is a dead end street. It gives you nothing to rectify or adjust or improve. You can't undo not going, not trying, never fighting for what you believed in.
So perhaps this is what you need right now, where you are, the reminder to go out and stumble, fall even, fall hard. And in the process, make your mark on the moment on a world waiting for you to show it what you're capable of. See, because all that falling day in and day out, when most were sleepwalking through life, it will have made you something they are not. Something they can never be.
Unbreakable. Life can't break you. Only you can break you. You can't be both alive and avoiding the limelight. You can't be both in the arena and asleep. So open your eyes and go do what only you can do. Go be unbreakable because you've earned it. Unbreakable because you are resilient. Unbreakable because there is no fear of hitting the ground. No fear of the battles to fight or hills to climb.
Unbreakable because breaking is quitting. It's stopping. It's refusing to take life in. And that's simply not you. In a world where outcomes are never guaranteed, We have to cling to what we can control. Heart. A willingness to fight. A commitment to live. To live like few out there are willing to. So are you dying? Sure. We all are. But not today.
Today is about, as Emerson said, the depth of life. Today is about capturing that fleeting moment. It's about reminding yourself and the world why you're here. I learned recently how grateful I am for storms. Quiet skies don't show you how strong you are. Calm doesn't force you to level up. No, it's when the ground shakes we learn to endure.
We're forced to find within ourselves a resilience that was once tucked away. They say confidence is earned. And well, it's earned because when we walk through hell, we give our greatness permission to walk alongside us. we grow in proportion to the discomfort we allow in our lives. Our evolution is tied to the stressors we face.
