Your World Within Podcast by Eddie Pinero

You're Not Stuck. You're Just Standing Still

Wed, 23 Apr 2025

Description

You're not stuck. You're just standing still. Life is finite, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the middle of your daily routine. None of this lasts forever, and that’s exactly why we need to lean in, to move, to act before time moves on without us.This isn’t about grand gestures or overnight change. It’s about saying yes to the small, scary things. Walking through the doors that shake you up. Showing up when it’s uncomfortable. Because those moments, the ones you almost said no to, they’re the ones that shape your life.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact#liveinspired #yourworldwithin #motivation

Chapter 1: What motivates us to take action in life?

24.056 - 55.619 John Smith

Silence is loud. Places I never went, the action I never took, things I didn't say, they still ring in my ears. They echo across time, but not in the way you might think. See, they arrive and fall before me at my feet, not as regret, but as a reminder that life isn't over.

Chapter 2: How can silence lead to self-reflection?

57.295 - 84.939 John Smith

Sie erscheinen eher als ein Anruf, um vor Limitationen zu überwinden und in diese immer erhebliche Idee zu steigen, die wir oft als Was-Kann-Bis bezeichnen. Erinnerst du dich an das Gefühl, als Kind, sagen wir, in der 2. Klasse, dass du dich in einem Tisch befindest, das nach vorne des Klassenraums schaut. Der Lehrer fragt eine Frage. Und du weißt die Antwort.

Chapter 3: What are the consequences of not speaking up?

86.169 - 118.791 John Smith

Well, at least you're pretty sure you know. But there's a seed of doubt. What if it misses the mark? What if it's not quite there? You mull it over and ultimately keep your hands in your pockets and your head down, only for someone else to raise their hand. The teacher chooses them, they answer the question. They give the same answer you were going to give.

Chapter 4: How do childhood experiences shape our courage?

118.831 - 157.059 John Smith

Not only correct, but wow, excellent, nailed it. That was a tough one, too. Round of applause. Good job, Student X. Student X with possessing both the right answer and the courage to be wrong, if that's the result fate were to cast upon him. And the thought, it replays in your mind. It's like, I was going to say that. I knew that. And then suddenly there's a shift.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of risk in personal growth?

157.099 - 195.477 John Smith

Student X's response gets quieter and quieter. It fades into the background. What was said is no longer relevant. All you can hear now are the jarring sounds. Es war nie so, dass es so laut war, dass es jeden Inseln deiner Menschheit penetriert. Die Frage war trivial. Die Antwort war egal. Es war nie so, dass es so war, oder?

0

197.81 - 228.058 John Smith

Es war eher ein Mikrokosm der Abflüge, die wir in der Leben über und über wieder erleben, weit außerhalb der zweiten Klasse. Die Frage ist, ob wir und riskieren den Fall, um auf dem Berg zu stehen, oder ob wir pausieren, verzichten und in unsere Welt ein Geräusch einbringen, das so exklusiv ist, dass es nicht ausgerutscht werden kann. Ein Geräusch, der jede Kante deiner Realität öffnet.

Chapter 6: How does the awareness of life's finitude inspire us?

228.158 - 264.235 John Smith

Ein Geräusch, das wo du gehst und wo du gehen musst. Es lebt, bis du den Mut findest, zu sprechen. Jedes Mal ist es überwältigend wertvoll, sich daran zu erinnern, dass das Leben finitiv ist. Es klingt nicht so, als wäre es jetzt. Es klingt nicht so, als wäre es von deinem Tisch. Oder aus dem Auto, als du deine Kinder zur Schule fährst. Es klingt nicht so, als wäre es im Verkehr.

0

264.616 - 289.913 John Smith

Es klingt nicht so, als wäre es in der Wartezeit von dir selbst. Oder als würdest du deine Gedanken auf Papier auf der Küchenstelle legen, bevor der Rest des Weltwesens aufwacht. Aber nichts davon, meine Freunde, ist hier zu bleiben. Es geht alles, jedes einzelne Ding. Und so ist hier der Schlüssel, den ich anstrebe, gemacht zu werden.

289.973 - 332.834 John Smith

Im Fußball und im Hockey, wenn ein Team sehr spät in der zweiten Hälfte oder dritten Periode verliert, ziehen sie oft den Goalie. Sie lassen ihr eigenes Netz weit offen. Wie vulnerabel. But in doing so, they simultaneously increased their odds to score. Because the goalie now acts as another attacker. Again, it is a gamble, a gamble for sure. But down by one, when time is running out, who cares?

0

332.894 - 359.375 John Smith

It gives you a chance. And I don't see how life is any different. We are all here for a length of time that equates to a blink of an eye. We are a raindrop in a thunderstorm. The siren is about to sound. The whistle is about to blow. In a million years, why would you not pull the goalie?

0

359.435 - 386.064 John Smith

Why would you sit there in a self-created silence, wondering what life could have looked like if only you gave more? This is the one and only opportunity to pour all of yourself into something before something becomes nothing and the march of time leaves you in the rear view. Yeah, maybe you win and maybe you don't.

386.104 - 420.265 John Smith

But the ticking clocks, they're playing a different game altogether and to win yours, you must understand theirs. Silence is louder than a swing and a miss. It's louder than a courageous soul who misjudges an approach and smashes into the ground. It's louder than the lessons life graciously hands out to those willing to step into the belly of the beast. Silence is loud.

420.305 - 457.099 John Smith

So go scream your truth unto the world. Go make your mark. No, not for vanity. But because of the same question previously alluded to. Why not? As far as I'm concerned, odds don't dictate reality as much as they shape perspective. You, you shouldn't be here. The statistical likelihood is just too small. Your existence has attached to it almost impossible odds. Yet here you are.

458.161 - 502.073 John Smith

And you have the audacity, given this info, to sit there in silence. You're delusional, selfish, wasteful enough to not go, to not try, to not unpack the gift at your feet and make your way into the world. My friend, your silence screams. So go. Leave in your wake a trail of courage that screams louder. Leave behind you a message to the world that you weren't given much time.

502.133 - 537.957 John Smith

No, not much time at all. But you were given enough time. Your snapshot in the movie of eternity. Your verse in the great play of life. Oh, ein Wunder. Das ist ein großes Wort. Das ist viel Druck. Aber nein, es geht nicht um die Größe deiner Entscheidungen. Es geht darum, durch diese kleinen Türen in der Leben, die dich erschrecken.
