Speaker 1: How much do you trust your creativity? You obviously trust
others because you keep buying things on Amazon. All of
those things that you're buying or that you think you've
got to put into your life, those were all created
by someone. What are you giving back to the world?
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. Whoo man. As of late,
I've been making a lot of sounds. It's like I'm
overrun by life, taken down by the challenges, but not
defeated because I get back up again. That's the way
my dad always trained us. Get up, get up. But
these sounds that I've been making, they come out of nowhere.
It's not that I'm trying to be something that I'm not.
It's just that everything is coming at each and every
one of us so fast, and it's pounding on our
hearts so hard that you just got to go, WHOA
I want to do? A lady her name was Evelyn,
a Southern term. She would say, well, I swine. Instead
of saying I swear, she would say I swine and
that was her way of saying, oh my god, oh
my god, there's just so much coming at us and
we're expected to digest it. Or you can lock yourself
up in your house, but you're still gonna watch your
social media. You're gonna binge watch something, and somewhere within
the elements of your release, you're going to still make sounds.
Because it's very possible that our mind, body, and souls
are full full. Now, the question is how do you
clear what you've collected? Hey, Sarah, this is the Daily Mess,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a
daily writer. The goal is to just be present, to
do everything that I can, whether it's my daily writing
in the morning or my defragged journal throughout the rest
of the day. It is a mission to clear, to
make way for, to make room for, to be able
to stand up and not be weighed down. This is
the daily Mess now. Because I'm an ambitious student of life,
I really do admit to you that I watch all
things in motion. The world should be our daily writing subject.
Thank you for showing up. You should be telling people that, man,
thank you, thank you so much for showing up. You've
given me something else to think about instead of the
who oh my god, the other pressures in life. Come on, now,
there's a lot to learn in this everyday world that
we're in. Sometimes I laugh more times than other. I
question a lack of presence, a world so blessed with
amazing opportunity, and the decision is for many people to
become the taker. You know what the taker is? The
taker is give it to me. I deserve it, It's mine.
I don't care if I didn't work for it. Just
give it to me. Come on, I'm gonna make some
noise if you don't see the thing is is that
you didn't plant the seed, but you rob the garden.
This is not a judgment. This is not a negative.
This is a conversation where I'm saying, hey, look, we're
all takers. Let's ease up a bit on the taking. Okay.
Change begins with the image in the bathroom mirror. Be
honest with me, those beautiful selfies that you post on
social media, Who do you see? What do you want
to see? More importantly, what do you expect us to see?
Because interpretation is everything. I do see a lot of
people on Instagram with their videos of jumping off buildings
and cliffs, my God in heaven. I don't know what
it is about those videos, but every time they make
that jump, I get that falling sensation in my stomach.
I feel like these videos are me jumping off those
buildings and cliffs. It's how I feel when I also
come face to face with a taker. Because when you're
a taker, you're jumping off the building. Do you have
a bungee cord, a rope, a net below or are
you just jumping hoping that when you come back tomorrow
you've got more to take. The thing is is that
you've got to start investing in giving back. Can I
tell you who some of the greatest giver backers are?
Is that even a term? The men and women who
play the lottery, you know, Powerball, Mega Million. It's amazing
how many of them will win four bucks, four hundred dollars,
or they'll spend five hundred dollars, but the person that
they're getting it from, they're not taking anything because they
give them anywhere between one to five bucks. It's not
a tip. They just know that if I'm going to
win a lot of money here, it started with giving
something to someone else. It's very inspiring to watch those
that are playing the lottery. They want that money, but
the real players of the game give first and then
maybe maybe they'll score some bucks. I'm going to plant
something inside your soul right now. This is not a
guilt trip. This is not shaming, this is not judging.
I just want to say one thing. Faking a is
like jumping off a gigantic cliff. The person that you're
taking from are they smiling? How real is it they
just jumped? Are you the net or do you just
walk away and let them plunge. I'm arrow, and that's
the daily mess.
