Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Pinero.

And in this episode, we're going to talk about how to approach progress, not looking externally,

but simply looking at how to be better than you were yesterday.

Okay. In life, you are your greatest ally and your greatest opponent.

And it's important to decide how to arrange the pieces in front of you because that greatly determines, you know,

which side you're leaning on. Are you helping yourself or are you, you know, getting in your own way? That's what I'm going to talk about today. I got a question from Anurag. He says,

Eddie, I was just listening to your today's podcast. I have a question that's related to it,

and it's how do you or anyone get in the mentality of looking inward and trying to be better

than your past self? I've struggled with accepting that mentality. We mean a lot if you could

speak about it on your next podcast. Well, my first instinct is awareness. What is it that I want, right? If you're talking about

being better than you were yesterday in what, right? So defining your goals and what you're

looking for and what would make you happy to achieve. And then it's a compare and contrast.

You know, it's sitting down in the morning, you know, being grateful for what you have, first of all, because if you're not grounded in some type of gratitude, it's very tough to ever be content, right? But it's looking back and saying, all right, yesterday, here's what I did, and here's what was great. And here's what really isn't moving me towards that goal and today

you know planning out things that do that do move you forward that are important it's essential

to remember that big things happen over a series of small steps i always pound pound that message, you know, into the work that I do

because we get discouraged simply when we want to leap an entire mountain overnight. You know,

or we're looking at other people and we want what they have now. Or we want to be something now.

And it's almost like you don't see the little steps that build that, right?

It's a work in progress.

I had a coach that would say, you know, sometimes success is merely hanging on when others are letting go.

Like sometimes the one who wins or achieves or does great things

simply keeps taking little step after little step.
