Episode Date: July 16, 2020

In the episode, I tell a story about a couple of frogs and explain why you should never give haters or critics power to control the narrative of your life.

Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Panero. And in this episode, we're going to talk about the dreaded haters, the criticism, the cynics, the skeptics, all that commentary that attempts to keep us right where we are and paint our picture for us. How do we internalize that? Most importantly, how do we overcome it to live our best life? Good morning. So this is, man, this is take four. First take, the audio didn't record, so I pressed record.

Second take, the video did not record, so I pressed record. And the third take, everything was recording, but the lights stopped working. It's almost like a Seinfeld skit here, but I think we're rock and roll, and my fingers are crossed. And I want to start the episode with a story pertaining to criticism, doubt, and how we internalize it. how it affects us or doesn't, which is the point of the story here. And in this little story, there are some frogs and they're hopping along and two of them fall into this little pit, right? And they're stuck down there.

And you have the ones up top looking down saying, oh, my God, guys, that's a death sentence. You're done. Don't even try. It's over for you. And they're frantically hopping. They're trying to get out. They're scared. And the people up top are the frogs up top are saying, you're done.

It's over. stop, don't waste your time. One of them finally concedes, maybe you're right, jumps further down into the pit and ultimately dies. The other one keeps jumping, keeps jumping, and the frogs on top are saying, stop, don't waste your time. There's no point. There's no point.

You're done. But he keeps jumping and ultimately gets out. And when he gets to the top, the frogs are saying, didn't you hear us? We were saying that there was no way out that you were dead pretty much. And the frog communicates basically that he's deaf, right? So he couldn't hear a word. And the beauty in that is that, you know, when you don't hear the negativity, when you don't hear the doubt, you create your own reality, right?

Truth is defined by the author. You are the author of your own story. The future hasn't been created yet. And so giving someone else control over that outcome, you know, doesn't make sense. It actually doesn't make sense, right? And similar to one of my favorite, I don't know if it's a quote, but the idea that, you know, most of the people who did fantastic things were too ignorant to understand the odds, right? It's like when you allow outside circumstances to dictate what's real,

they're holding the pen and they're deciding. but when you have clarity and when you have a laser focus on what matters and what's important, you know, all the nuance and the detail outside of that, what other people think or what they say or what they believe has no relevance to what you do or what you're trying to do. So that's the moral of the story today. And I mean, I'm going to wrap this up quick before, I don't know what can happen next here. the power goes out. But basically, that is what I wanted to leave with, right? There's always going to be that chirping. There's always going to be that negativity. And the question is, you know, do you internalize it?

Do you jump into the pit? Do you believe it? Or do you tune it out and you jump out and make a world for yourself that matters to you? All right. So have an incredible day, guys.
