1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,599
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,039
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,320
and so it will rain as it has for the

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,839
past several days. There's a saying here in the south,

6
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:18,960
hey man, stick around for five minutes. The weather's going

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,600
to change, pretty much like our moods. I often wonder

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,399
if part of our mental issues is due one hundred

9
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:29,120
percent to the advertisers or storytellers with books, movies, and

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,759
TV shows. They have creative ways of locating the core

11
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:36,759
of what is controlling our deepest emotions. Now, I had

12
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:39,759
to do some research here, and it does show that

13
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:44,880
it's a form of manipulation, many times using false claims.

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,520
The emotions that they focus in on are happiness, pride, fear, anger,

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,159
and greed. They're trying to generate enough empathy so that

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,880
we'll buy into their ideas and or products. A television

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,560
weatherman once said to me, you viewers, you hate me

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,000
when I get the weather right, and then you laugh

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,359
at me when I get it wrong. You never seem

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,239
to feel grateful that you received more sunshine today than rain.

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,719
In all things that we are, how much of it

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,840
is no different than the advertisers? Ooh, stop stop, stop,

23
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:25,120
stop stop, I'm asking you. In all things that we are,

24
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:30,280
how much of it is no different than the advertisers.

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,239
The things that we do on a daily basis affecting

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:40,560
other people's happiness, pride, fear, anger, and greed is the

27
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:43,560
same true about you when it comes to how you

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,400
are manipulating other people. Not an accusation. We're all guilty

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,480
of it. We want people to buy into our ideas,

30
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,640
so we have to sell it. But how are you

31
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:58,000
selling it? And if you were more aware of how

32
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,200
you were affecting other people's core emotions pride, fear, happiness, anger, greed,

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,319
would you change? Hey, Sarow, this is the daily Mess,

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,120
a chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a

35
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:14,840
daily writer. I view the world from beneath the brush,

36
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:18,840
the silent wolf, and then we learn about it. I

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,199
recently spent some time with Akbar from American Ninja Warrior

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,159
on NBC. I love it when we can take the

39
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:30,240
conversation into areas of real life. One such place was

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,879
when we focused on judging a person's performance at the

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,479
start without realizing it's not over until we hit that

42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,000
finish line. It opened both of our hearts to stop

43
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:45,039
trying to write a story, unlock our habits of thinking

44
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,319
that we can predict all outcomes, especially when associated with

45
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,919
people who endlessly say I'm going to do this, I'm

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,080
going to be the best at it. And what do

47
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:56,800
we do well? Underneath our breath, we go, I've heard

48
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:00,120
that before. Okay, keep dreaming. I'm here for you. Oo.

49
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,280
See what I mean? We are writing the story before

50
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,759
the moment, because what's your reaction going to be when

51
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:12,039
the other person achieves their vision? Now I have to

52
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,599
ask you, what are you doing to yourself? How often

53
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,159
do we start the day and within a couple of

54
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:22,800
minutes we've labeled that day a really bad day? So

55
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,080
you spend the next twenty three hours trying to figure

56
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,759
out how to get beyond what feels like a failure.

57
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,960
It's no different than how we started this thing out happiness, pride, fear, anger, greed,

58
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,599
the emotions that we affect not only in other people

59
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:43,639
through manipulation, we're also taking over our mind, body, and soul.

60
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,560
We want to feel this way and the innercore is

61
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:49,120
going ah, but I don't have it today, but I

62
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:54,080
need you to feel this way. We can try. When

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,680
I say that creativity is an addiction, I mean it.

64
00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:00,879
Creativity is going to be used on all shape of moods,

65
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,240
all forms of manipulation. You're going to creatively come up

66
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,800
with things that will either sell the idea or push

67
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,719
you darker into the hole. You have to make a

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,039
choice on your daily journey. That choice is sure. I'm

69
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,000
having a bad day, but I can change it by

70
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,639
changing the choice. Yes it's bad, I accept it, but

71
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,839
I'm now going to turn it into a great day,

72
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,720
a brilliant day. It's a matter of choice, and it

73
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:30,879
is difficult. But when you do make your choices, take

74
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:33,839
some notes so that the choice the next time will

75
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:36,240
be a lot easier to make. I'm arrow, and that's

76
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,000
the daily mess.
