1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,919
yes to creativity, totally uncopp because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,560
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,400
What would it look like if we could see the

5
00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:19,199
walls that we create, the mental mountains that we design

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,079
to keep us sheltered and or away from things that

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,760
we don't want to do. What would they look like?

8
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:29,920
Would they be tall and beautiful? Would we paint on

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,679
the wall or would it be filled with graffiti? All

10
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:36,079
those little moments where we just want a doodle on something,

11
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:39,119
so we put it on the wall that keeps us

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,880
from doing something and or protecting us from something, we

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,719
build them every day. It's almost like we are the

14
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:51,039
carpenters or the construction workers that are ordered to do

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,520
this and this. Yes, sir, yes, ma'am. Let me put

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,600
my hard hat on. I'm going to work. I'm gonna

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,479
keep me from being me. I'm building a wall. Hey, Sarah,

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,640
this is the daily mess, a chronological walk through in

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,840
everyday world. I am a daily writer. I'm trying to

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,480
make my way through that wall, through that mountain, to

21
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,359
get to the other side, to face even more mountains.

22
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:22,760
And walls, and I happen to ask this morning, what

23
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,799
is this all about? What are we keeping ourselves from

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,480
and why are we doing it? Why do others look

25
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:34,799
to have more success, and yet what they're doing is

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,359
something we can do. But we have walls and mountains

27
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,560
that stand before us. This is the daily mess, lifting

28
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:48,359
ourselves beyond the weight of what's holding us back. Just

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,040
shake your head, man, I know you can relate, lifting

30
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,959
ourselves beyond the weight of what's holding us back. We

31
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:57,799
are the creators of those walls and mountains. I'm gonn

32
00:01:57,799 --> 00:01:59,480
get a little Jesus on you here, Okay, just for

33
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:05,599
a moment, Just a moment, Hebrews twelve, verse one. Wherefore seen,

34
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,360
we are also compassed about with so great a cloud

35
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,400
of witness. Let us lay aside every weight and the

36
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:16,919
sin that besets us, and let us run with patients

37
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:21,520
the race that is set before us. Okay, I'm a poet.

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,599
I know what it's like to live a life of poetry.

39
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:27,639
I learned early on that most of what I speak

40
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:31,000
is lost in the rhythm and the rhyme, and basically

41
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:35,080
people don't know what you're saying. So Hebrews twelve to

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,840
one what it's trying to say is is that we

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,800
were not designed to carry this much weight. It's encouraging

44
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:48,280
us to set it aside. We truly are masters at

45
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:53,439
making walls and mountains because we want excuses, not accomplishment.

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,240
Because to gain access to an accomplishment that's going to

47
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,960
require some work, and it's going to require some time.

48
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:03,319
So let's build that wall in that mountain and sit

49
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,599
over here, and let's do some binge watching. We need patience,

50
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,120
We need to take what we see inside our mind, body,

51
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:17,280
and soul. I want to build that castle, yet we

52
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,960
choose to sit in the sand. But I want that castle,

53
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:31,120
the walls, the mountains, our expectations of others. We want

54
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:36,360
somebody else to build that castle, and then we'll contemplate

55
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:41,680
on moving in. I'll get there when I can. And well,

56
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:45,960
you know, you know, my bird isn't feeling well. Nah,

57
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,879
I think I'm gonna stay here. I know I belong

58
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,680
over there. Not well, I'm okay, God, why are they

59
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:58,400
making it and I'm not It's not fair. I've got

60
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,199
the same gift, the same talent. I can buy my

61
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:05,039
way into this castle. Why Why did they Why? Why?

62
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:11,599
Walls and mountains We were not designed to hold on

63
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:18,759
to the weight of the excuse. Set it aside. I'm arrow,

64
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,360
and that's the daily mess
