You are always one decision away from a totally different life. That’s not just a motivational phrase, it’s a perspective shift. When life feels overwhelming or misaligned, we tend to wait for clarity or direction. But we forget that it’s the act of moving that reveals the answers. It’s not about having everything figured out; it’s about trusting yourself enough to begin. That discomfort you feel, that pull toward something greater? That is your invitation. That’s the moment.And no, you may not be air-dropped onto a mountaintop, but you will have started something powerful. You’ll have reminded yourself that you’re not stuck, you’re building. You’re collecting answers, momentum, and courage. And those things start accumulating the second you decide to go. So, look in the mirror. Say it out loud: I’m ready. Then take that first step.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact#liveinspired #yourworldwithin #motivation
Full Episode
You are always one decision away from a totally different life. It's one of my favorite ideas. It is what I lean on most when moving through some of the most difficult chapters of life. And I think it points to something very important. it points to our tendency to forget how much control we have over our own realities. And not just the small things, but the big things, right?
The things that truly challenge us and push us, the things that often feel just beyond reach, larger than life. This idea reminds me that that's not the case. I'm going to give you a few quick examples for context. They're very basic. You've heard them before. The first is my health. What changed everything was the decision to start associating with people who knew more and were willing to help.
Not rocket science. But at the time, I would have said, it absolutely isn't. I started to piece by piece realize that everything was solvable. And even some of the things that weren't totally solvable, like an elbow issue, for example, it could be made better to the point where I could work around it. It didn't have to prohibit me from living my best life.
It wasn't the giant problem I made it out to be in my mind. The list continues on, my work, every day hating what I was doing, until one day I thought, well, no. That's enough, right? The pain of the unknown is better than this silent, slow, withering away. That's pain. And did I know what I was doing? No. Did it bring about a new type of discomfort altogether that I hadn't ever experienced? Yes.
But it put me for the first time in my life on a trajectory to figure things out. Last example, the wrong romantic relationships, the wrong business partnerships, the wrong people in your circle. You only need to decide once, no more. You only need to decide once, hey, I'm out. I deserve better. Then you begin a process of healing and self-recreation.
See, we don't act very often because we don't know what the solution is. And on its face, that's practical, right? That makes sense. But it's not a reason to keep yourself in a prison of discontent. I think for two reasons. One, the misalignment you're feeling, that feeling in your stomach that things are not right, Is in and of itself a reason to go, to change, to adjust?
And two, you don't start with the answers. You pick up answers along the way. You look in the mirror, you say, okay, I'm ready for more. You step out the front door and then you collect results. It is not the other way around. And I think that's the problem. You know, people conflate that thing they need with a complete solution.
When in reality, the thing you need most very often isn't a complete solution, but it is a bridge from where you are now to a process of recreating yourself. In fact, one of my favorite anecdotes is by John Maxwell, the grocery store at night, right? You walk out of the grocery store, you have your bags, it's dark, it's pitch black, it's unsettling.
But you make your way to the car, put your bags in the trunk, you get in, Turn the headlights on. And what do those lights give you? They give you just enough to pull out of the parking space. Can't see anything behind you or what's going on around you, but the lights give you enough to pull out of the space. And then they give you just enough to get to the edge of the parking lot.
