What does it mean to create authentically?

Eddie Pinero 0:00
Create like you're going to throw it all away. Like not one word matters. Like there is no audience. Because when you do it for yourself and yourself only, you can finally do it honestly. In so many ways, courage is just honesty. I think the inclination is to hide from our shadows. to attempt to outrun them, leave them behind.

How can we embrace our shadows?

Eddie Pinero 0:33
But the world I want to live in is a product of dancing with those shadows. It's in bringing them in and not keeping them out. A world with no separation between your hopes and your fears is one of freedom. See, throughout each chapter of life, excellence has evolved, and it's evolved along with me, like a chameleon of sorts changing bending, transforming to fit the time.

What does excellence mean in personal growth?

Eddie Pinero 1:04
Excellence has looked like the courage to start at times, to continue at times, to not stop the right thing at times, and to walk away from the wrong things at times. It's been learning to put the armor on, and now perhaps it's learning to take it off. To step out and present that same message to the world, unpolished. Less thought through. More flaws, more cracks. See, to be pristine is to be admired. To be brave enough to be flawed, though. To be so honest it increases your heart rate. To be so much of yourself that it creates a seismic shift. That's excellence. And we know excellence seems to always require of us what hurts the most in the moment. It demands we become what we most fear. It makes floors out of ceilings, does excellence, as it lifts us up each new stair in the staircase. And it's always amazed me. looking back, how while the context has changed so much over the years, the premise has remained consistent. Do that which you are most scared to do. It's Joseph Campbell's quote that the cave we fear to enter holds the treasure we seek.
Eddie Pinero 2:27
Well, one can only peer into that black abyss for so long before the anticipation grows worse than the discomfort of the darkness itself. And so, it has become time. Time to dance with the shadows. Not to destroy, but to make them mine. And so dance we will round and round the flames. Casting shadows and reeling them in. This moment is an inflection point. It's an inception. The first crack of sunlight at dawn. the first step of a journey to the stars. It is the day you transformed an excellence right along with you. Look, the truth is that what got you here is not always sufficient to get you there. That what's made you will not sustain you. And so the question is, what lives beneath the surface? What lives under the hood and behind the curtain?
Eddie Pinero 3:50
And will you dig deeper? Will you allow your younger self to follow you into the abyss? Even if out of sheer curiosity, will you step up and heed the call? perhaps to be less produced, rehearsed, packaged, and in the wake of these things become courageously you. Where courage and authenticity intersect, excellence is born. So what better time than now to rise again, to start anew.

How do we confront our fears to find freedom?

Eddie Pinero 4:34
And I know you've pushed. I'm aware you've fought. But for what? To lay down here? To give up now? When the greatest story is yet to be told? when the finale still lies ahead, when all that is meaningful waits just around the corner. No, move further into the darkness. Push higher into the night. Release more of yourself to the world. Go until you can go no longer. Do until you can do no more. Fight until there is no fight left in you. That is your ode to excellence. Find that spot where you're most scared to go and go there. And I promise you two things. One, that it will be painful, at least to some extent. And two, most importantly, it will be worth it. It will burn down the old you so that the new you can rise. And I'm speaking from nothing but experience.
Eddie Pinero 6:33
Every word derived from the delta between how I used to live and how I live now. I'm referring to all the good that came from finding the courage to let my old self die. A recreation of sorts. And I'll tell you what happens. Your mind, your body, at least initially, start to panic. They say, wait, this is not you. Go back to how things were. You, you followed orders. You did what you were told.
