Your World Within Podcast by Eddie Pinero
Fix Your Mindset & Take Charge of Your Life | Powerful Motivational Speech
Wed, 06 Nov 2024
Today’s episode is a reminder that the journey itself builds the strength we’re looking for. You don’t wait until you’re strong to go to the gym—the gym is where strength is built. It’s the same with life; you don’t need to wait until you feel ready or “worthy” to make a difference or find connection. Instead, focus on becoming a capable, valuable person, and watch as the right people start to show up naturally. When you lean into curiosity, freedom, and passion instead of waiting for accolades or success, that’s where real growth begins. Your inner world, “your world within,” is the chisel shaping the life you want on the outside. When you take accountability for everything in your life—both the good and the bad—you become powerful enough to change it. It’s not about building a cage now to break free later; it’s about living fully now, creating meaning, and owning every part of the journey. In becoming capable, aligned, and intentional, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the right energy, people, and opportunities—your life will transform from the inside out.

Chapter 1: Why should you not wait to feel strong before starting your journey?
The whole thing was backwards. The cart was before the horse. Now, sometimes that's obvious. You don't need to wait until you're strong to go to the gym. The gym is what builds the strength. It's a very easy progression to understand. And we understand it. Some of the time. Hear me out. He seemed to think that if he only found the right person, he himself would finally be complete.
Chapter 2: How can personal growth attract the right people into your life?
Completely unaware that if he just instead made himself whole, if he worked on himself, the right people would come into his orbit. That is, after all, how it goes. That may be, all in all, my biggest qualm with quote-unquote networking. The best networking you can do is be a capable human being with value to add.
Chapter 3: What misconceptions do we have about success and approval?
Then, get this, instead of having to scour the surface of the earth for like-minded people, they show up in your inbox. It is, all in all, a storyline we have backwards. The right people can't complete you. A complete you brings in the right people. She seemed to think that money had to be made, that success was critical because that success would bring approval. and status and power.
It would be what slays the demons. And then once successful, she could finally live free. She could be at peace, not bending to the whims and the demands of others. That's why the money was so important. That's why the success was imperative. Not knowing that, whoops,
Chapter 4: How can living freely now lead to future success?
It's one's ability to live freely now before the money comes without the success and accolades that the door to all that other stuff is opened. Curiosity, passion, and freedom has prompted more greatness than anything else. And there are some things we can afford to postpone. The freedom to be you and do what's meaningful in the present moment is not one of those things.
It's another storyline we have backwards. Don't exist in a cage of your own making so that someday you can live free. Live free now and instead capture the meaning in life. He wanted to be one of the greats. And so, as if a blueprint were placed in his hand, he recreated, he copied, he emulated those who have walked the path before him.
Chapter 5: Why is authenticity important in achieving greatness?
He tirelessly chiseled away at his current self to represent someone else. Those who had done it. Someone standing on a mountain top looking down. Seems good on the surface. But what he didn't know is that those who came before him injected their own authenticity into their pursuits. They weren't recreating the same portrait as someone else.
Chapter 6: What lessons can we learn from those who came before us?
Maybe in some cases they were picking up the same tools, the same brush. but they were etching the world as it was experienced through their own eyes. Again, maybe students of the technique and the history, certainly respectful of what previously existed, but understanding that their job was to receive the torch and carry it somewhere new. Another storyline that we have backwards.
We think extracting ourselves gets us closer to the formula, but my friend, you are the formula. There's a common theme here. And I can tell you wholeheartedly from experience This isn't some magical thing I pulled out from under a rock. This is lived experience. This is learned experience. This is me putting my own hand on the stove and going, wow, I have to be careful of that.
Your world within is the chisel that defines the external world. It's fun to look back at our predictions. You know, I've certainly done my fair share of swinging and missing, like a weatherman, a political analyst, a sports commentator, fill in the blank. We make educated guesses. And then we see how kindly life is to our hypotheses.
And the version of me from 10 years ago, mid-20s, walking along the Cape Cod Canal one morning and deciding that your world within would be the North Star Well, that was one that I hit out of the park. It's been a guiding light, handing me the wisdom that when you take accountability for everything in your life, you then become powerful enough to change your life.
Your world starts internally and is projected out always. you make yourself more capable, and boom, suddenly you are surrounded by those called to your energy. When you focus not on the money or the externalities, but on doing what you love and following your curiosity, you soon end up where few have gone, resulting in, you guessed it, an abundance of those very externalities. When you seek
Not to be those who inspire you, but instead to water and protect your own strengths. To marry the known path with your new authentic path, you create space in a very crowded room. Trust yourself in that. Trust that if you plant the seed and water it and look after it, It will at some point bear fruit. Understand that no one has all the answers because life is not black and white.
You are the only one with your vision, your skill set, your values. That means something. Earn that confidence in your own life. Step into the arena. Unleash the parts of you that have been tucked away for fear of standing out or messing up. The whole thing was backwards. We placed more emphasis on the path than the person walking it. More focus on the water than on the seed.
A determined mind can navigate any terrain. That energy should be exhausted, putting yourself in the game and committing to a growth process. You are the power. You are the strength. You are the secret weapon. But be honest with yourself. Are you allowing you to thrive? Or are you waiting for the right people, money, and circumstances to pick you up and somehow carry you away?
I think life is waiting, not for them, but for you to realize it. To own it. And then, most importantly, to do something about it. So maybe the whole thing was backwards. Until now. Until this very moment. Until you realize the wake doesn't drive the boat. It merely requires a courageous captain. Self-trust. Are you willing to take the wheel?
