Your World Within Podcast by Eddie Pinero - The Things We Don't Say Out Loud

Episode Date: August 27, 2020

In this episode I shine a spotlight on those thoughts, ideas, and dreams that we tuck away in the back of our minds as unrealistic. All change requires: 1. Believing more is out there and that you are capable of obtaining it 2 Taking small steps forward This understanding is how we turn thoughts into things..

How much possibility comes and goes. How many ideas or thoughts come in as fleeting moments and then they're categorized in the back of our head as those things we don't say out loud. In this episode, I want to talk about the difference between thinking something and having the courage to bring it to life. I'm Eddie Panero. This is your world within David.

So I'm going to play a segment from a video called the things we don't say out loud. Before I do, I want to make sure you have one thing in mind. And it's around permission, the lines we draw on the sand, right? These ideas that come into our head, fleeting thoughts about something being possibility, something we want, about life being better, we daydream, or imagine that we can change the current situation. And it's exciting. It invigorates us. It makes us feel good. And then we kind of tuck it away as it's, well, it's not really realistic. So we'll keep it in this sort of box of ideas in our heads,

which don't push us forward and don't create anything. But at the same time, we never really thought it would. They are the things we long for, the list of things that we don't say out loud, but they're not real. And what I do in this video is kind of talk about some common ones that I've certainly dealt with. People I've talked to have dealt with. Things that, you know, they come and go.

and we don't do anything about them, and we end up regretting not doing anything about them. It's a reminder that life is malleable. And whether we believe it or not, whether we remember or not, we are the authors of this story that we're constantly writing. It's never set in stone. It never is what it is. There's always an ability to change.

But like I say, in so many ways, nothing starts until you believe it. Nothing starts until you have the notion in your head that it's real and that you're capable of making change. And so that's what this is about. Those things we don't say out loud that shouldn't be hidden, that shouldn't be tucked away as make believe, but should be screamed, should be brought into the universe. Life will be what you allow it to be. The universe will provide what you ask of it, what you take. And that'll always be a true statement.

So that said, here's a quick look at the things we don't say out loud. Would you ever wonder how much of you has materialized? Like if what F. Scott Fitzgerald says is true and our lives are defined by opportunity, even the ones we miss, then how much remains in the ether? And I don't think it's about playing a game of what if. You know, that would be endless. It would be self-defeat. No one's perfect.

I don't even really think it's about making a right turn instead of a left. Because as long as you're moving and moving with conviction, life ultimately brings you where you need to be. But more, my concern is the steps never brought to pay. My ideas unhatch, my opportunities, I either knowingly or unknowingly left on the shelf. Because it didn't seem real enough. Like a Broadway play between my ears. my ears that as a spectator I knew would end after all that's what stories do how much of ourselves have we passed aside as simply the things we don't say out loud at first it's

infinite we've yet to be taught to limit because limits aren't things their ideas and ideas must be adopted that's why they say some of the life's best things were done by people too ignorant to know they were impossible, too naive of the notion that they couldn't say them out loud, then it's comparison, they have what I want. But it was meant for them and not me. How delusional to think I could have it. How crazy to think that life has yet to be written, and I am an author. My date is with normalcy in the box where I keep those things we don't say out loud,

and then we look around and we see highlight reels. We see awards and vacations and smiles, but we don't stop to think, Maybe they're just like me. Maybe they're people who struggle and question themselves and doubt the road ahead. No, it must be the past diverged. They took happiness, and I took those things we don't say out loud. And then there's everyday life when things don't go as planned. When the world presents curveballs, and you haven't learned to hit off speed, so you feel

small and you feel inadequate and ill-equipped, and you could reach out, but that's not cool. That's not right. That's something that you don't say out loud, but we keep it in, like all in. and eventually it becomes the if only's and I wish I had. It's the quiet envy gazing longingly towards those who just cared less, who realized maybe life's not as serious as we make it out to be, who turn thoughts to things, not by burying, but by embodying them. And maybe that's the trick to unlock the gate,

keeping your perceived reality from the possibility of a new one. The one you could create, if only you promoted your fleeting thoughts to forward progress. See, dreams can fail to come to fruition in. two places in your head and outside of it. But at least outside it has a chance. At least outside, you can take the common, normal, everyday background and make it the back drop to your movie where you play a lead role. But it must be accepted and acknowledged, not thought of or even whispered, but screened

so that the details and the trivialities that exist now work for you. That's right, they are now yours. not because you thought about it, but because you reached out a hand and you took. You asked the world for something. And in life, it will always be true that you don't get what you do not ask for. So when you find yourself staring up a wall comprised of self-defeating narratives and manufactured limits, be ignorant, be irrational, be the reason your dreams have a chance. And when you look around and you see more and wonder why you don't have it, know that you can.

You're allowed to. If you sacrifice, you will. But you must believe you are worthy of it. Not in the back of your head where you keep your locker combo and movie quotes, but in reality, where words bounce off lips. And when you feel like life is treating you unfairly like they're happier or have it better, know that life is peaks and valleys, not just for you but for everyone. how you internalize that and carry on makes the difference and when you feel lost or stuck,

you are not hopeless but in progress. Being broken down so that you can be reconstructed, stronger, better. Victory is not in hiding those struggles, but accepting them as the difference as the reason you created the miraculous. Not because you had dreams. Because you said them out loud.
