"Think for yourself, or others will think for you, without thinking of you." - Henry David Thoreau  This episode is a reminder that vacuums in our awareness will almost always be filled with ideas, actions and emotions that are not conducive to our over all well-being. To control one's life, they must first control their own mind.

"You have been assigned this mountain to show others it can be moved" - unknown This episode is about the 6 mental shifts that changed my life 1. Your philosophy becomes your reality  2.

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be" - Emerson Reality starts within and is projected out. If you look for reasons to be happy, you will find them. If you look for the positive in a given situation, it will emerge. If you look for the strength to carry on, it will present itself. By controlling your thoughts, you control your world.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” - Viktor Frankl

"Today I will do what others won't so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't" - Jerry Rice The difference between excellence and mediocrity is one's ability to rise in the face of difficulty...

Do not be concerned with the fruit of your action. Just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord" - Eckhart Tolle This is an episode about change. With New Years around the corner it's important to remember what actually brings about transformation. The tendency, when we want to evolve, is to look at the ultimate goal, but this is both misleading and discouraging. Greatness isn't about saying yes to the goal, it's about continually saying yes and showing up for the small commitments that create the goal. Your job is not to be the best, your job is to do the small things every day that will make you the best.

"It's not your responsibility to have everything figured out in the moment, but it's your obligation to move forward anyway" - Eddie This episode reinforces the idea that consistently showing up, even when things are difficult, is life's greatest differentiator.

An ending is simply a beginning, in disguise...

"Impossible" simply means that it hasn't been done yet...   The Evolution of Insanity:   She had a vision to build something they’ve never seen before – they called her insane.   She worked long hours for little reward – they deemed her irrational.   She simplified her life until it consisted of only her goal – they declared it a tragedy.   She failed and failed but wouldn’t give in – they proclaimed her stubborn.   She never lost faith – they thought it delusional.   And then she succeeded.   She succeeded like no one else had before.   She shared her result – they called her a genius.   She told of her story – they admired her persistence.   She uncovered her knowledge – they asked for advice.   She provided a blueprint, yet very few followed.   They wanted what’s easy.   She called them insane

Many of life's greatest accomplishments were achieved by people too ignorant to know that they were impossible... Don't overthink your dream. Sure, some things require strategy, introspection and a plan...but sometimes our greatest power is to shut off the internal dialogue and trust ourselves to move forward without the answers.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Jung Self Doubt does not control or define you. In fact, it has no grounding in reality at all. It is merely the little voice we must learn to smile at as we leave it behind on our way to better things.

"Stay the course, but adjust Stay yourself, but evolve Stay humble, but lead Stay hungry, but be grateful Stay focused, but explore Stay awake, but dream - @iameddiepinero

"Whatever happened in your past, be grateful. It brought you right where you need to be."

Every time the climb feels too steep or the journey too long, remember, pain is temporary....but quitting is forever

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Emerson Stop diminishing who you are so that you fit in, and go all in on who you are so that you stand out...

You are always one decision away from a totally different life... This episode is about getting unstuck....remembering who you are, why you started and that the road to redemption is an arms reach away.

"Life must be understood backward. But it must be lived forward." - Soren Kierkegaard 8 Lessons To Live By: 0:00 Lesson 1 - Recapture the things we've taught ourselves to ignore 1:32 Lesson 2 - You are stronger than you think you are 2:36 Lesson 3 - Some things are beyond our control, preparation is not 3:34 Lesson 4 - We are at our best when we are making progress 4:37 Lesson 5 - When you accept responsibility, you become empowered 5:53 Lesson 6 - If it means something to you, there is value 7:02 Lesson 7 - Our reality wasn't given, it was chosen 8:06 Lesson 8 - Tomorrow is the distraction, today is the solution

You are always one decision away from a totally different life...today can be the day you make that decision...

The first step towards achieving your dreams? Simple: Believe it's possible... Speeches: 0:00 Wake Up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE5RGSWONZ4& 3:32 Just Hang On - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDtiz7dPugY 7:39 Move On - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BNOwfqYFtI

To be who you are, you must first cut away what you're not... The latin root of the word decision, cis, literally means to cut away. A decision to evolve requires that we leave the unwanted components of ourselves behind. Life begins when we realize that we have everything we need, we just need to remove everything we're not...

"Barbarism is like the jungle; it never admits its defeat; it waits patiently for centuries to recover the territory it has lost." - Will Durant You are the gatekeeper to your mind, protecting it from all outside forces seeking to derail, disrupt or convolute what matters most. 

"Be so good they can't ignore you" - Steve Martin What can you be the best in the world at? If you let this question guide your journey, you'll find it easier to avoid the unnecessary detail and complexity that we so often confuse as progress. I believe value to be a universal currency, and we're all capable of providing it. Like anything however, it must be harnessed and developed. It must be sought out. To simplify the arena in which you will obtain mastery and give your pursuit the attention it deserves is truly a superpower. 

"The missteps don't define you. They set the stage for the greatest things you will ever do" - EP Success isn't about taking perfect steps or making flawless decisions. No, its formula is much simpler than that. Success is about hanging in long enough for all of your steps, the right, the wrong and everything in between, to tell a story.  All the missteps and lessons learned eventually come together to take you where you need to go. The only way to lose in life is to stop...because those who continue forward will find a way.

“Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.” - Dr. Seuss Speeches: 0:00 While The World Sleeps - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MctKBaxc1Sc 3:57 The Little Things - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bv-0ok_8ko 9:01 When I Was A Kid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EzRybEo4Pw

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others." - Cicero  

The discomfort you're experiencing is temporary, but turning around and running away is forever...
