1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. Unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,679
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,000
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,320
I really want to share this quote with you. I'd

5
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:16,800
like to know what your reaction is. We may agree,

6
00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:19,160
we may not agree on what this man is saying.

7
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:22,600
His name is F. Murray Abraham. He was on CBS

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,359
Sunday morning. This is the quote. The only way to

9
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:30,359
become great is to believe that you are great, and

10
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:34,920
that takes arrogance as well as humility. There has to

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,640
be a balance that will take a lot of years

12
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:42,240
to understand it. The only way to become great is

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,000
to believe you are great. Creative people aren't always in

14
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,359
agreement with the requirements of understanding each other's personal space

15
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:55,439
and travels. I personally found inspiration and connection with F.

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,399
Murray's quote, but I do know a lot of travelers

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,880
who hear an expression like this, I am great, and

18
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:07,959
instantly they push that conversation toward over confidence and conceit

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,640
rather than truly supporting the artist. Such a quote pushes

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,239
away those who might make the foundation of success even stronger.

21
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:20,319
Gene Simmons had a quote. He said, if you don't

22
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:24,640
think what you're doing is larger than life, nobody will.

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,519
How about Stephen Ferdick from Elevation Church, stop saying I

24
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:34,840
tried reach high? Heyzero? This is the daily mass, a

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,079
chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a daily writer.

26
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,760
Quotes inspire me, they influence me, They change the path.

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,799
And if you think I'm gonna let it sit inside

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,760
of me and not share it with you, boy, that

29
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,400
makes me selfish, doesn't it? Man? If you could just

30
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:52,879
say that five times? The only way to become great

31
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:58,519
is to believe you are great. Say it over and over.

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,319
The only way to become great is to believe that

33
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:07,640
you are great. This is the daily mess. Making room

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,599
two words that either inspire or it shuts you down.

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,280
To make room means clearing out the process of letting

36
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:21,439
go before letting in. Unless you're like most, and the

37
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:26,599
mission becomes an act of pushing back. But what happens

38
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,319
when your heart or house become too full? Another set

39
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,960
of words that has the strength to dominate your vision

40
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,199
and extension. I'd like to but I've got no more room,

41
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:41,240
or I once did that, but I had to drop

42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,000
the idea to make room for another idea, making room.

43
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:49,479
I thought keeping a Google calendar lifestyle would put me

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,159
on a path of better choices, when in reality, it

45
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:56,000
actually closes me off from the physical act of daily

46
00:02:56,039 --> 00:02:58,879
discipline in ways that tell the creative heart that, hey,

47
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:03,479
you don't have a enough room. The goal of making

48
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,680
room has evolved into a field of workplace grazing. You

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,919
know what grazing is, right, Cattle graze people sometimes on

50
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,759
their daily diet of eating, they will graze small things

51
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,479
at a time. That's what the Google calendar has done

52
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,919
for me. I have a lot of small things that

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,199
I do, and I have no more room. A little here,

54
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:29,400
a little there, always taking up space. So we learn together. Okay,

55
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,479
So I don't want to put in a nine hour

56
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,879
essential job. It gets old and mundane to be the

57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,360
same people every day. I mean, look at these people

58
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:42,120
snag a job, they are very happy. How about instacart

59
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,759
and shipped. They are picking their own hours and their

60
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,639
own space. But I want to dig beyond the surface

61
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,520
of what we think we know and see what their

62
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,159
Google calendar lifestyle is. Because I see a lot of

63
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:00,599
these Insta shoppers and shipped people doing three, three orders

64
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:04,400
at a time, and they become frustrated because there's so

65
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,520
much and they think they're making a lot more money.

66
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:14,159
Making room two words that either inspire or it shuts

67
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:19,199
you down. How do you make more room? Daily writing

68
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,839
helps me make that room. Daily writing helps me understand

69
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,759
the person who's clogging up the creek. I asked the questions,

70
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,360
I question the answers, and I do want you to

71
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:32,759
do the same. Maybe you're doing a position in your

72
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,319
life where you're gonna I'm not working for Corporate America.

73
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:38,000
What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do it on my own.

74
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:41,920
But you know what happens, especially those who are new

75
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,480
to retiring. You've got all of that space, all of

76
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:48,800
that room, the power of choice. I talked with a

77
00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:51,000
gentleman just the other day and I said, watch out,

78
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:55,439
you're gonna have all of that room. But your mind says, now,

79
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:59,399
I've got the time to do everything, and suddenly you're

80
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:05,040
clogged back up again in that stream. Write, plan it out,

81
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:10,800
figure it out by listening to who you are. Stop

82
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,920
trying to keep up with the joneses. Who are you?

83
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Why do you need to have this clogged up calendar

84
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,480
making room. I'm Marrow, and that's the daily mess.
