1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: I like asking questions. The reason why is because the

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,719
fun begins when you start researching for answers such as,

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,599
why do we tend to support the bad guy over

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,439
the good guy? Plus we all admit to falling behind,

5
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,240
but is there a way to ever catch up? My

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,519
name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.

7
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:19,719
That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing

8
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:23,239
but watch, listen, study, and activate. I call it the

9
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:26,679
daily mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yep,

10
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:29,800
it's my morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,280
we as people tend to throw things to the side

12
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,640
because we think we're going to deal with it later.

13
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:37,399
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

14
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:40,600
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,560
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,079
is the daily mess. Why do we tend to support

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,280
the bad guy more than the good guy? Making such

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,679
a decision is seen as psychological, emotional, and cultural. The

19
00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:59,520
bad guy is often seen more interesting. Villains are usually

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,280
layered with a backstory. They aren't evil by evil's sake.

21
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:08,079
They're shaped by trauma and revenge. That's what fuels their unpredictability.

22
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:12,159
They take risks, break rules, and challenge the system, which

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,959
can be very exciting for a bystander. People like a

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,359
real good bad guy because they're anti hero. The Joker

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,319
and Tony Soprano are great examples. Bad guys are flawed,

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,439
they do things wrong, but fans and followers empathize with them.

27
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:32,040
We actually ask the question, hmm, what would I do

28
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:37,640
in that situation? Rebellion is relatable. Villains stand up to authority,

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,400
They question the norm. Cheering for them is compared to

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,519
cheering for personal freedom or revenge against injustice. The good

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,920
guy feels boring and totally fake. Coming up next, we

32
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:58,920
all admit to being behind, but can we ever catch up? Hey?

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,719
Thanks for coming back to the day. We're all living

34
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:05,640
a very busy lifestyle. It feels like everyone keeps falling behind.

35
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Can we ever catch up? Mental health experts say yeah,

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,759
we can, but how well It depends on how falling

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,759
behind you really are. There is no way you can

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,639
catch up overnight. Progress, though is possible. Falling behind doesn't

39
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,520
mean you're failing. The number one thing to do is

40
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:28,280
to start right where you are, be present in your

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,960
right now, not where you think you should be. Create

42
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:35,560
a doable plan of action, one day at a time,

43
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:39,960
one task, one conversation. Let go of that desire to

44
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,120
be a perfectionist. Trying to do things perfect leads to burnout.

45
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:49,840
Aim for better, not perfect. Consistency will always win when

46
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:53,159
in trouble. Lean on someone for support. Who is your

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,560
mentor or your coach? Do you need to get more tools?

48
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:01,000
No one catches up doing it alone. Keep telling yourself

49
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,240
that it's never too late to begin again. The calling

50
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,159
is to make sure that you don't wait to start.

51
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,360
Slow progress is still process. It's always best when you

52
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,759
take your time to map out the exact steps. I'm Ryl,

53
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,360
and that's the daily mess.
