Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Stream thinking is learning how to trust what is in
your present place of right now now. To get there
require some practice. Want you to paper every day, just
ten minutes, write about whatever is moving through your right
now without any type of judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your
skills as a listener, as a communicator, and as an activator.
Learning how to trust what is right now. This is
stream thinking today. We're reading from November eighteenth, twenty twenty three.
I just fell witness to SpaceX two making its way
into the vast darkness of a well lit up space frontier.
If only you could hear the SpaceX scientists and how
they acted as news commentators explaining everything in fine to tail.
I was amazed at how positive they were about the
extreme potential of this mission being not successful. It was
if they are prepared to let us know as viewers
that hey, look, things may not go like everything else
has in the past. Yet they've been prepared to believe
that this is why testing it's so valuable. We can
learn from everything even when it's not right. Put that
in your pipe and smoke it. Learning from things when
it isn't right. Your own personal plans have been blown up,
your goals have fallen short, your idea of who you
think you are isn't what's matching on social media? What
are we learning from this? Most of us we get
hit hard, our emotions go crazy, and we walk away,
when in fact that really could have been the first
step of a brand new beginning. The way to turn
that around I do a thing called defragging, where I
ask the questions and I question the answers. When I
go into a situation, I don't go in saying, well,
this is going to blow up. I go into it going, Okay,
I'm going to learn something from this, and I'm going
to take about a half an inch movement forward. If
it feels good, I'll take another half an inch forward.
The goal is to be prepared for all things. But
you can't be a Debbie downer. You can't be a
Nancy negative. What you have to be is present in
your place of now and know where you presently are,
because when you do, the vision to get there is
going to require some time, some exercise, some thinking, planning out,
stepping back, moving to the side, and when you do that,
you become stronger with your personal foundation. Yes, it was
very inspiring to hear them say, hey, it may not
go as planned. I like that idea testing the waters.
Otherwise we're just gonna sit here like a bump on
a log. I'm Eryl, and that's stream thinking.
