Summary
In this episode I talk about the idea that you can't give what you don't have. Just like an orange, when squeezed, can only produce orange juice, outside circumstances can only bring out of us what already exists.
When we change our thought patterns and belief systems, it becomes apparent that the outside world has far less control over our emotional state than perhaps we once thought.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Panero. And in this episode, we're going to talk about the idea that when it feels like it's the world against you, it's probably you against you. And we'll talk about a little metaphor that really drives that point home. So happy Friday. |
| 0:27.9 | I hope everyone's had a great productive week and feeling good. |
| 0:36.4 | I, like I said yesterday, I got away for a little bit. |
| 0:39.8 | It was in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and even if I was doing a lot of the same work, |
| 0:44.7 | it was just great to be in a different environment, different contexts, you know, see my family, |
| 0:52.0 | different people. |
| 0:53.7 | And there's so much liberation, I would say, that comes from a simple change of scenery. |
| 1:01.7 | And I think that's why I've moved around so much over the past five, six years, actually since college. |

| 1:09.5 | And it's just such a refreshing |
| 1:11.1 | um a refreshing endeavor to uh to see new things and uh give yourself a blank slate so |
| 1:19.7 | anyway I am back in the studio rocking and rolling feeling good and I have a an interesting topic that you know the beginning |
| 1:31.8 | of the week i researched a little bit and i went down this rabbit hole per usual and uh found |

| 1:49.0 | She said, you can't give what you don't have, or meaning you can only give what you have. |
| 1:56.0 | And as I was poking around, I saw, you know, Wayne Dyer said something very similar. |
| 2:04.6 | And he used the metaphor of an orange. |
| 2:08.6 | And basically the way he explains this is, look, if you squeeze an orange, 10 times out of 10, 100% of the time, |
| 2:16.0 | orange juice is going to come out of that orange |
| 2:17.7 | because that's what it's filled with. |
