00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,000
your present place of right now. To get there require

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,039
some practice. Here's what I do every day one sheet

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,160
of paper, just ten minutes, write about whatever is moving

5
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:15,000
through your presence of all things right now, with absolutely

6
00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:18,760
no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as a listener,

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,879
as a communicator, and as an activator. Learning how to

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,920
trust the right now. This is stream thinking today. We're

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,120
reading from September seventh, twenty twenty four. Making the effort

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,039
knowing in the end there may not be a payoff.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,159
It is one hundred percent human to strive for success,

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,920
trying to be a better version of ourselves. Once on

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,280
the path, though, we meet several different obstacles that either

14
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:47,520
take us up or down. My pet peeve when someone

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,399
takes note of a victory and they reply, you are

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,079
so lucky. What others don't see behind the curtain the

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,640
unbelievable hours required to make the effort knowing there may

18
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,799
not be a payoff. The goal should be to stay

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,519
focused on how hard work and luck what completely different paths.

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,280
One expert says both are extremely overrated. Making the effort

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,920
because I made a choice those moments when somebody sees

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,879
something that you've worked so hard on for months, years,

23
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:25,239
your entire lifetime, and then they say you are so lucky,

24
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:28,640
when in fact, while you were building that path, luck

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,239
had nothing to do with it. It was character, it

26
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,200
was perseverance, it was that drive to reach the destination.

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,920
And even though you wanted to quit so many times,

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,760
and Lord knows we do quit, we set it aside

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,640
and keep coming back. I have talked with so many

30
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:48,040
authors and musicians that will be hit with a brilliant idea,

31
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:51,280
and because it's just sitting there, they do set it

32
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,480
aside and come back to it at a time they

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:59,079
least expected. You are so lucky. It's not luck, it's determination,

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,480
willingness to allow yourself to constantly grow without putting the

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,599
pressure of perfection in your heart. I'm Marilyn, and that's

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,240
streame thinking.
