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

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,719
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,000
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged

4
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:12,960
stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,239
your present now. To get there requires a lot of practice.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,000
One sheet of paper every day, just ten minutes, write

7
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:23,440
about whatever is moving through your place of right now,

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,039
no judgment whatsoever. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as a listener,

9
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:32,079
as a communicator, and as an activator. Learning how to

10
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,479
trust what is right now. This is stream thinking today.

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,359
We're reading from March eighteenth, twenty twenty three. This isn't

12
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:42,880
an old man talking. It's an observation of lives evolving.

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,000
My wife and I watch more television than we ever

14
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,000
have thanks to the lockdown. The thing is is that

15
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:51,679
we don't tap into an app on the smartphone to

16
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:55,280
get our entertainment. I work with a twenty year old

17
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:57,960
that can't read a wall clock with a big hand

18
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:01,479
and little hand. In his world, it's always been digital.

19
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:04,920
Many people yesterday didn't know why we were wearing the

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,920
color green. Oddly enough, they didn't know what Saint Patrick's

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,760
day is. Balloons, pop in our grocery store and people

22
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:16,000
they actually start moving toward the door. Mass shootings have

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,400
given us PTSD. Real people are ubering. They're not buying cars.

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,439
The cost is always more important. In an age of

25
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:26,879
holding down three to five jobs while living with two

26
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:29,159
to three other people in your small house or apartment.

27
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,439
We learn a lot while watching people move this age

28
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:38,280
that we're living in. I don't think my parents could

29
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,680
do it. They come from the harder times, fresh out

30
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:44,799
of World War two. But in this place that we

31
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:49,760
stand now, uncertainty is a way of life. We just

32
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,480
keep walking. If something gets in the way, like water,

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,799
we move around it. Watching people is the best book

34
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:01,519
I've ever read, because it's not it's what they're doing

35
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:06,480
as a personality and their individuality. Learning how to communicate

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,560
to every generation, because that's what we've become. It's not

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,840
just about the young, the old, and somewhere in between.

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,960
Everybody is talking to everybody. And I'm at that point

39
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,919
where I don't know the new artists, So teach me.

40
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:25,120
Tell me what these words mean when you tap them

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,800
into your TikTok or your Instagram. See a lot of

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,479
people still don't understand Twitter speak. That's a language all

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,199
its own. They made it so easy to just say

44
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,039
anything you want on social media that those that are

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
saying whatever they want are now getting their hands slapped

46
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:46,520
because it's too much of what you thought. But we've changed.

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,039
One of the things that I love doing is I

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,759
have one of those little digital antennas that's connected up

49
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,680
to my TV, and I do antenna TV. I do

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,400
me TV, and all of these old shows come back.

51
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:02,319
Not because it's nostalgia to me. No, these are shows

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,000
I've never seen, and I believe in my heart if

53
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:09,199
you're watching it for the very first time, it's brand new.

54
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,840
Learning to watch people. It teaches you, hey, I can

55
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:20,360
be just like what you're doing, and you find entertainment

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,759
in other people's actions and reactions. And yes, there will

57
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:27,639
be those moments where you say, I'm just an old

58
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:31,280
man here, and they'll look at you, they might call you, hey, grandpa,

59
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:35,800
what's going on, buddy, but they accept you learning to

60
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,919
watch other people without judgment. I'm Marrow and that's stream thinking.
