Episode Date: April 19, 2020

In this episode I give 5 reasons why today is good!

Good morning. I'm Eddie Panero. Welcome to your world within daily in this episode. I'm going to talk about why today, right now, this moment in time, is good. Today is good. You know, we become so inundated with the negativity out there, right? The influx of bad news and the highlighting of what's wrong and what we don't have that we forget a bad thing. what's good. We kick over the bucket of water and become so consumed by that that we forget about the ocean of opportunity out there. And I want to be a simple reminder. All I want to do is get the gears going. Flip that perspective.

Because this situation has been a speaker, turned up all the way blasting everything that's wrong that we're losing that we don't have. And while, yes, we've lost something. things, it pales in comparison to what we have. So I'm just going to give you a few reminders why today is good. And start with the fact that today is good because it's a statistical anomaly. You shouldn't be here. That's just the reality. One in 400 trillion is not a coin flip. It's a miracle. It's a grain of sand on the beach. And all of us are saying.

all of us get to wake up, pull up the blinds, and see the sun coming through the window. We have won the lottery. And instead of focusing on the small stuff, the color of the ticket, how far we have to walk or drive to cash it in, like let's think about what the reward is, what we get. Today is good because of the opportunity. Think about the fact that you have the control and the power to shape your reality. Think about that. Think about how the things you aren't proud of,

you don't love, they don't excite you, you can change. You can move towards what you want. That is the ultimate control to have the tools, to have a hammer and a life that's malleable. There's nothing more beautiful, freeing or liberating than that.

You are the architect. And today, you can design. Today's good because people love you and they care about you. And we get so caught up in the minutia that we forget the important things. People are on this journey with you. They have your back. Nothing is more valuable than that. Today is good because it's fun.

It's less serious than we make it out to be. We build up these complexities and these rules and these guidelines, this fictitious world that we have to live in, but none of that matters, none of that's real. And at the foundation of that is the simplicity, the happiness, the beauty of the day-to-day, the things we take for granted. It's funny, I spoke a few weeks back about the headaches that I get

and how they cripple me, right, and that I luckily hadn't got one in a while. Well, as fate would have it the other day, migraine, in bed almost all day, right? It just couldn't function. And I'm lying there, and you know what I didn't think about? I didn't think about YouTube subscribers. I didn't think about money.

I didn't think about a business. I didn't think about what anyone thought of me. I thought about how amazing it would be to be up walking around. What on most days is the norm, right? The floor, the expectation in that situation was the ceiling. I'd give anything for that. In that particular moment, you realize how precious each day is. Sometimes you need things taken away to realize how lucky you were.

And that's why in a weird way I'm so grateful for that experience. Because today, I feel like a million bucks. And I know I'm not going to waste it. I'm not going to waste it. Today is good. because there is no one like you. No one has your experiences, your skill set, your vision, your perspective, your situation, your circumstance. No one.

No one has to say what you have to say exactly how you have to say it. There's one of you. You're a precious commodity. And today is an opportunity in however you see fit to share that with the world. Maybe it's your parents, maybe it's your family, maybe it's your friends, your social media, whatever it is. But today is an opportunity to take you and share it. Because in one way or another, the world needs it. It needs you.

And that's an amazing thing. Today is good. Remember that. There is so much more good in this world than bad. than negative. Just remember that. Remember that the good is buried because good doesn't get clicks.

Good doesn't scare people into watching the news. Our brains haven't evolved over thousands and thousands of years to find the good. They've evolved to find the bad and avoid it. But that's not what life is about. That's not what today is about. Remember how lucky we are, much we have.

Pull that lottery ticket out of your pocket and my friends today, let's cash in. I'll see you tomorrow.
