Summary

In this episode I discuss:

The power of converting our "have to's" into "get to's"

The reality that our day to day becomes normalized, so we ultimately lose sight of how lucky we are

That we are in control, therefore, we should change the things we aren't happy with or change the way we think about them

0:00.0	Welcome to Your World Within Daily.
0:03.3	I'm Eddie Panero.
0:04.6	Happy Saturday.
0:06.0	In this episode, we're going to talk about the difference between have to and get to,
0:10.7	and how a slight adjustment and how you look at the world around you changes everything.
0:33.3	Okay. Have to versus get to. I have to do something. I have to do something implies a few things.
0:41.4	It implies that you do not have control over what you are doing, and there's also an implied sense of obligation. I have to go to the store. I have to go to work. I have to prepare for an exam
0:51.3	versus get to. The joy of life. I get to go to the store. I get to go to work. I get to
0:58.4	study for an exam. These are all things that a lot of people would kill to be able to do, right? And the
1:03.2	idea is not to shame. The idea is to help you remember how lucky you are to have the things that you have.
1:13.6	Because everything we do, right, our day-to-day,
1:21.1	no matter what it is, it normalizes. It becomes the status quo and we stop appreciating things that are incredible. I mean, ultimately, it comes down to gratitude. It comes down to the one in 700 trillion odds of being here that I talk about so much.
1:32.1	There's so much to be grateful for.
1:35.4	And it's funny, I notice these things when they're taken away.
1:40.1	You know, the norm, it's like you forget to appreciate it until they're gone. From things as little as, you know, the weather in Florida. A few months ago, I had a speaking engagement in Canada. It's like, oh, my God, you know, I've been down here for three years now. I've been starting to take it for granted. That's incredible. Or I mention sometimes I get headaches. Your head hurts the next day you realize, wow, I don't have a headache.
2:03.8	This is incredible.
2:04.5	This is liberating.
2:05.2	This is freeing.
2:06.5	I remember in college doing, you know, 2K testing on the irk.
2:11.4	And, you know, I'd get off and I'd sit on the ground and I'd like, this is just the most
2:15.6	amazing thing to not be going through that.
2:19.1	It wasn't until the chaos was injected into my reality that, you know, you miss the calm and the serenity.
