| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Your World Within Daily. |
| 0:02.1 | I'm Eddie Panero, and in this episode, I want to talk about a quote from William James, |
| 0:05.8 | who states, to change one's life, start immediately and do it flamboyantly. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm going to talk about why that idea has been so powerful in my life, |
| 0:12.7 | and how, when implemented in yours, can provide incredible value. incredible. |
| 0:30.6 | Fland. Or is Tony Robinson would say massive action. |
| 0:33.6 | Why is that important? |
| 0:34.9 | Because it all has to do with identity change. Being something different than you were and actions that support that. There's a saying that I love that human beings will always follow through on who they believe themselves to be. And it's very hard to believe yourself to be one thing if you're if you're not immersed in it |
| 0:57.5 | if you're not all in it's hard to say you're something if you're on the fence if you're tiptoeing |
| 1:03.6 | if you're hedging your bets and so to act immediately swiftly to move and then allow the details to catch up, to be flamboyant about |
| 1:15.2 | it, confident about it, to own it helps you create a new narrative, right? Build a new character, |
| 1:21.9 | a new story. You know, again, you can't tiptoe it. You have to become it. And I've talked |
| 1:27.3 | about that a lot. You know, it's interesting. It's why I talk about like people that say they're, you know, morning people. Oh, I haven't had my coffee. It's before 10. I'm not a morning person. Oh, I'm an introvert. You know, I would never do well in a room like that. And it's like, I get it, right? That's your preference, |
| 1:44.5 | and it's totally fine. We all have it. But that's not fact, right? That is a story that you're telling yourself. It's what you believe yourself to be, and you'll be that. If you wanted to change it, you certainly could. You most certainly could, but you'd have to take massive action. You'd have to create change. You couldn't tiptoe towards that. |
| 2:02.2 | And that's how a lot of things are in life. That's why some of the bigger things that I knew I've |
| 2:06.9 | wanted to do, you know, I've acted so extreme to the point where it's almost irrational. |
| 2:14.3 | You know, most recently, it's like I was living on the beach in Miami and in a span of truly zero exaggeration, as I've talked about before, 10 minutes. |
| 2:24.6 | Decided, nope, leaving, right? I'm too distracted. I'm not, my stuff's not going the way I wanted to go. |
| 2:31.5 | I'm falling out of the vision, what I want to be and what I want to build. So you take everything, |
| 2:39.5 | right, I'm central North Carolina in the woods, no distractions. It's hard for me not to believe |
| 2:43.9 | that I'm committed. Hard for me not to believe that I'm a man on fire trying to build something, |
| 2:48.0 | right? I don't need anyone else to believe it. I need me to believe it. I need the world to be conducive to what I'm trying to build. And when I look in the mirror, |
