Speaker 1: It's zero. This is vocal d frag. Walking in this
forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina, on a beautiful fall day,
fifty four degrees, golden leaves, red leaves, oranges, browns. It's gorgeous.
There's so much change going on, and you know, why
wouldn't you want to do a d frag with all
this change? Because sometimes you have to look at yourself
in the mirror and say, you know what, mother nature changes,
why can't I. That's why you have to ask the questions,
question the answers. This is vocal d frag. The journey
to think about is the documentation of your personal expectations
as well as your personal experiences, documenting it as it
comes to you. But a lot of people don't do that,
and the reason why is because we're always questioning why
something is happening. Even if it's a beautiful day. It's like, oh,
don't go there, don't go there. I don't have beautiful
days every day. I'm just gonna savor this moment. I'm
gonna call it my own, but I'm not going to
learn anything from it so I can get back here again.
Sometimes you got to have breadcrumbs, You got to be
in a situation where the goal and the deed in
life is to document as it was received. And I
got this idea today from doing my own handwritten vocal
d frag and that is, I do it in a
journal and then we do it here. But I got
the idea because there are so many things that happen
inside this forest, and I've always said, this isn't my voice,
this is the voice of this forest. And if I
didn't take the time to document it as it was happening,
then all it is is based on a true story.
It's based on it because if I got back home
out of this forest, away from this fifty four degree
cloudy day, one of the chances that I would even
remember what hit me while listening to the breeze inside
these trees, watching these leaves fall like snowflakes, except instead
of beautiful white, it's beautiful reds, oranges, browns, every color
that fall loves to share. So I turned to you
and I ask, why aren't you documenting things as they happen.
It doesn't take too much to pull out a digital
device and put yourself in a moment to where you
can come back to it and say, yeah, I felt
the chill of that breeze when I was just walking
through the park. Yeah, when I was at the mall,
all these people around me, I didn't feel alone. But
this is what it's like to be in a modern
day situation. Because you documented it, you learn from it.
Like right now, the leaves are twisting and turning like
little baby tornadoes in front of me because they're dancing
and they're having a great time. They're free from the
tree that held onto them through a very hot summer.
Now that it's fall, they're old enough to say, I'm
on my own, let me just go play, Let me
go live with a squirrel, maybe a snakel cuddle up
to me. But you see, you what I mean. This
is everything that is going on in this moment of now,
But what's going on in your moment of now? Because
if you get home or you get to work and
you're trying to share it with a friend or a
family member, it's based on a true story. When you
could have captured it in the moment of now. Ask
yourself the questions, question the answers. Your greatest questions will
always come at you at the weirdest, most odd bad
times because you don't want to take the time to
answer it in that moment because you might be surrounded
by co workers, you might be at a restaurant, you
might be at a concert. But if you just take
the time to ask the question, then come back with
the potential of there being an answer, or you can
have the answer on the spot and begin your journey
of growth right there. It doesn't have to take too
long to ask a question and then question the answer.
You just gotta be pre I call it vocal d fragging
once again. I keep a journal, which I've been doing
since November twenty seventeen, and we vocal d frag because
you get to hear the pitch, volume, and tone. You
put yourself back into that situation, and it's not based
on a true story him Maril, and that's vocal d
frag
