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

In this episode, we're going to talk about playing the hand you've been dealt.

Because it may not be the one we've wanted, but as we'll find out, sometimes it's not about the hand.

It's about how the hand is played. All right, so this morning, as I tend to do, I was looking at some ideas, some thoughts,

trying to gather my thoughts about the podcast today.

I found a quote that I loved and then went down a little bit of a

rabbit hole here. But I found a good one. And I think you guys will appreciate this. It's applicable

on a mass level with the little things and the big things we do in life. I always preface these

quotes. This is Jack London is the author of this quote that may or may not be

true. I'm definitely not standing by that, but it says life is not a matter of holding good cards,

but sometimes playing a poor hand. And the power in that simply can't be understated, right? Because

life is ups and it's downs. And, you know, when you look at

the macro or the micro, I mean, technically every morning we wake up, we have a new, new hand to play.

And sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's rough, right? And the power is in playing that hand to the best of our ability again i always

allude to this because it's it's a muscle that i continue to build right it's something that i

try and be consciously aware of all the time that our first tendency like i talked about yesterday right system one thinking our first

tendency is always to project it's always to point out it's always to assign blame how could this

happen to me poor me i'm the victim and the reality is and this is the tough part right whether

it's your fault or not you you get nothing from pointing out.

That's just a reality.

Like, when you point to yourself and you say, here's the deal, here's the hand, it's up to me to fix it, it changes the dynamic of the situation.

Thoughts can change your reality.
