Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Okay.
The first thing that we need to do today is
we need to clear up the idea that I am
not a dream expert, but I am willing to talk
about dreams because we all have dreams, and we all
sit back going huh, I wonder if that had any
meaning to it? What did that mean? Or we go
we're talking about that, We're not going there. That dream
was evil. That dream a dream last night about losing
my memory for some reason, for some reason, how I
reacted in the dream is still with me this morning.
I remember struggling in the dream. I knew absolutely nobody
and couldn't figure out what we were even talking about.
Of course, I've done some research here about losing the
memory while dreaming, in the moment of reality or while away.
What pressing matters are we facing When your daily schedule
is too full with expectation, the fear of forgetting to
do something is carried with you into your dreams. So
the goal needs to budget your time while you're awake.
Another reason why we dream of memory loss is having
a sense of not belonging. Come on, we're creatures that
need connection. When that need isn't being met, it begins
to affect the heart and we carry it right into
our dreams. But it feels like an oxymoron, a dream
about having memory lost, and yet I'm remembering it right
now during these awake hours, just making myself aware of
how the mind continues to evolve as we age. Hey, serow,
this is the daily mess, a chronological walk through in
everyday world. I am a daily writer. It's stuff like this.
This is how you learn When people say I don't
hear anything coming from the universe. Ah, that's all hogwash?
Is it? Is it? The thoughts are planted, but if
you don't do anything with the thoughts, you're just basically
letting something go when you could have grown. This is
the daily mess. I'm not good when there are no
set plans. Yet I'm that guy that would always ask
business leaders all they do is set up meetings to
set up another meeting, what is their problem? People get
lost when they have no plans, often accused of being
a creature of habit. My daily disciplines include plans set
by week by week expectations, and if something new is
added unexpectedly. The first steps are to protect what has
been planned. I start asking the questions, can it be
moved to a different time, does it affect other people's time?
Will it put me behind when dealing with due dates.
I was asked to do a lecture tonight. Their plans
were interrupted by some one who backed out, so they
reached out to me. Because I'm usually that guy that says, yeah,
I'll be there. I like sharing the word. Sadly, I
couldn't accept my set plans have me at one of
my other jobs. I'm at a movie premiere tonight working it.
Where I find peace in all of this is not
inside the guilt trip that I'm putting into my heart,
because I feel like I should have said yes to
the lecture. If by chance I would have been open,
I would have said yes to the lecture. So we
teach in the way of saying, don't just reach out,
we need to reach through. Don't just reach out, we
need to reach through. In other words, when you face
something unexpectedly and you can't deliver a yes, instead of
sitting in a pity pool or a guilt trip, because
it's like, man, I'm always there for them, and I
couldn't do it. Man, oh my god. Because we have
set plans. We have set plans. Because if we don't
have set plans, what do we do? We sit around
binge watching, We go to the mall and buy things
we don't need. We sit there and we just skim
across the internet looking for things to do. When we
don't have set plans, we're out of control with doing nothing.
And then you talk about a guilt trip and feeling
bad because you didn't do anything even around the house.
You could have picked something up. I love what Mark
Maron says. He says he has a lot of shelves
in his house because if he goes over and he
rearranges a few things on the shelves, he did something today. God,
I love that plan. Just move something around, put something
in your heart that says I got it done. Like,
for instance, go out and do something on the lawn,
Go out and trim or prune some trees, take a
walk and have a conversation with neighbors two and three
blocks away, just so that they know you. That connection thing.
We have to have it, and if we don't have it, it
affects the way we dream. I'm ERW and that's the
daily mess.
