1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. You crave it when you need it,

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:07,280
when you want to release it, when you're trying to

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,960
just get by, you're always trying to come up with something,

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,720
or you've got too much to hold. Creativity is always

5
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:17,120
going to be there. The question is when does it

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,000
show up? Ultimately, it's up to you or is it

7
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:24,199
unplugged because we will always say yes to creativity totally

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,039
uncut because we all make mistakes. So turn it into

9
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:30,120
a tool. This is arrow unplugged. My wife just sent

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,600
me a photograph. It says it's bar collector row, a tool.

11
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:41,240
H The little note that she put with it says,

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,520
you can do anything with this. It's a tool. Well,

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,640
I see a screwdriver, I see a can opener. I

14
00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:52,960
see so many things in this. And the weird bizarre

15
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:55,560
thing about this whole entire thing is that it's like, well,

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,320
wait a second. When you put words on here that

17
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:02,320
say that it can do everything, I almost feel like

18
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:06,239
that it should be a picture of her, right, I

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,560
mean my wife, honestly, and maybe someone in your life

20
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,079
does everything, but it doesn't look like a tool. It's them.

21
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:19,000
And sometimes I have to wonder in this day and age,

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,000
if we saw the people that we surround ourselves as

23
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:25,680
tools rather than people who just do things for us,

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,519
there might be a newfound respect. My sister was one

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,159
hell of a tool in more ways than you could

26
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:37,000
ever imagine, especially when it came to her mindset. But

27
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:39,959
she was the caretaker for three members of my family,

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920
and now she has joined them in a place of peace,

29
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:46,239
and I thank her for every day that she put

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,640
in as that tool. But my weakness was is that

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,079
I always saw her as my sister, that little pain

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,840
in the ass that drove me crazy when I was

33
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,000
a kid and even as an adult because she had

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,359
a mouth that just wouldn't stop. But this picture reminds

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,439
me of not only my wife, but my sister. People

36
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:08,319
that can do so many things, but we see them

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,680
as people and not the brilliant tools that they are. Hey, Errol,

38
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:15,319
this is the choice. This is what I was writing

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,319
while the sun was waking up on a brilliant new day.

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,960
Today we're reading from March twenty fourth, twenty twenty three,

41
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:26,319
building a new day. Oh, it happens every twenty four hours. There,

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,960
it is right there in front of you, that gigantic

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,080
ball of clay and You've got to build a new day,

44
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:38,919
making yourself available for what you've planned, and yet endlessly,

45
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,080
something else is always going to get on the path.

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,759
It gets in the way. As the production director of

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,280
a huge broadcast company, I learned to never invest in

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,560
a full day's plans, be ready for down moments, and

49
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:59,719
always have something to fill in where there is silence. Ultimately,

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,000
the Google calendar meant absolutely nothing to me because people

51
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,520
in the sales department were endlessly given permission to fly

52
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:11,800
by the seat of their pants. I'm not building a

53
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,879
negative here. It's not a bash against people. The mission

54
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,759
is to redesign your thinking process when things aren't going

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,639
your way. Quit being a quitter. Quit saying why are

56
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,280
you doing this to me? I hate my job. That's

57
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,199
one of my pet peeves when people say I hate

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,400
my job. Just drop what you're doing and go just

59
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:37,840
go walk away. We don't need to hear that kind

60
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:42,199
of negativity inside a place that is designed to reach people.

61
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:48,759
The mission is to always make yourself available to master

62
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:53,560
the art of sudden change, because one day you're gonna

63
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,120
be that change. Yeah, your number is going to be

64
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,479
on that list. That gigantic company that you hate but

65
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:03,879
you keep going back to Yeah, you know what they're

66
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:07,000
doing these days, they're cutting back. They're back to their

67
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,800
old habits again. Ask Google, Yeah, Ask Facebook, Yeah. Ask

68
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:16,879
all those people in the digital world that invested in

69
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,399
so many people to be on their team to lift

70
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:25,800
them to greater and better times. And now, without question,

71
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,319
they're gone, just like that. This is not a negative,

72
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,839
it's not a bash. It's not to ignite some sort

73
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:38,160
of fire. It's time for you to invest in the

74
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:41,000
self that you are, to be that tool that I

75
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,759
was talking about, like my wife and my sister, to

76
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,839
be able to fix things without saying I don't like

77
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:50,639
my job. I don't want to have to drive through traffic.

78
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,399
Be the tool. Don't be a tool. Oh God, we

79
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,240
don't need another tool. But I want you to be

80
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:01,759
the tool, the one that's able to fix things. And

81
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,560
when there are more cutbacks, you go. Whatever I got

82
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:08,639
six months out of you, I got what I needed. Congratulations,

83
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,160
We both won in those six months. We got it.

84
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,560
Having the confidence and the courage to be a self leader.

85
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,360
Does it have to be a group leader, doesn't have

86
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:23,839
to be a CEO, be a self leader because those

87
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,639
voices inside your head and heart every fricking day, are

88
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,120
screaming at you. Why are we here? Oh? I hate

89
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,839
the smell of burnt hot dogs in the microwave oven.

90
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,160
Why do they even have it in this company? They

91
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,040
need to service real food. Come on, come on, be

92
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,439
a tool, learn to fix everything, be a part of

93
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,839
all four corners. The new mission is to stay positive,

94
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,560
grow beyond. Oh it's in you and you don't have

95
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,360
to be in the mood for it, just be pared

96
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:03,000
for it. Eye maarrow. And that's what I was writing

97
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,160
while the sun was waking up on a brilliant new day.
