Eagle Mentality: Rise Above Limits with Eddie Pinero

0:00it's the mentality of an eagle. I often ask myself what differentiates those who wish for better outcomes and those who do something about it. What separates the dreaming from the progress and the wishing from the reality? Sure life is complex. There are a lot of moving parts to understand. But I think this element is simple. Those who build things in life are willing to not only see a reality that hasn't yet materialized. But they also understand that in a world of no, they have to be the yes. They have to believe in their ability to drive towards finish lines that no one else sees and see meaning cannot come to

1:03fruition without that discomfort. Whereas Nietzsche put it, one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star and that's just it. Most people see what is most people conform they do not create. To change something means you have to be the metaphorical eagle amongst pigeons flying above all that everyone, everything else. Superseating the limiting beliefs that shackle others to their one-dimensional realities. But most importantly it means you can see. You can see what no one else can. You have line of sight to what no one else understands. See in this world no one walks up to you on the street puts their arm around you and says hey kid that dream. Follow that because I

2:04can tell you're going to do big things. No one says hey that business idea you're going to thrive next year. I know it that relationship it's going to happen. That level of fitness oh I can see it already. Nope. People see what's right in front of them and as it pertains to you and your world, your life, people are those pigeons and so that leaves you with a choice. Do you accept that? Do you blend in take the scraps you're allowed to consume? The crumbs laid out in front of you or do you step back and acknowledge that this is going to be tough. This is going to hurt. It's going to push me further as a person that I've ever been pushed. But you know what I get in return? That view. I get to live above the clouds with those who don't wait in line. No they become the main

3:08attraction. They transform what is into what will be because the world it has a way of ensuring that we really want what we say we do. Greatness in any area of life is reserved for those willing to carry forward when most would turn back to build a bridge to something greater when most people point out that your bridge is not connected to anything. That it's a waste of time. It's trivial, useless, irrational. Good. Changing your life in the world around you has to be irrational. Taking the status quo and shaking it, saying I'm going to alter this landscape is irrational. But from irrationality comes the future. So when you feel like the world is against you, when you have an uphill battle to climb when there are a million reasons for you to turn around. Understand that

4:11this is nothing more than an indicator that you are right where you need to be against the current. Bringing something new to life, see if it were easy, it would already exist. But changing your life, that makes you an architect of the unseen. So build. On the days you want to build. On the days you don't build. When they understand, build. And when they assume you've all together lost your mind, build. Sure, it's not easy, but it's worth it. And when tomorrow comes, and it looks a lot different from today, when you've grown, evolved, transformed, and you look back and don't even recognize the person you once were. That won't be because you listen to the chirping of the doubters and the naysayers. It won't be because when

5:12strangers told you to give up, you packed your bags and went home. No, it will be because you rose above all that. They saw empty space and you saw a world undiscovered. They saw your head in the clouds while you built those castles in the air. You were always on a trajectory to something greater. You didn't need to convince them. You needed to convince yourself to unlock the shackles and take to the sky, leave everything that once held you down behind. This isn't about anyone else. It's about the conversation between you and the horizon that awaits. It's the attitude of the eagle.
