1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. You have to have creativity around you.

2
00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:07,360
That's how you tick. It may not be your creativity,

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,439
but somebody else's creativity is a huge part of your

4
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:13,640
process of always growing forward. But let's put some focus

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,239
on you. Where are you at with your creative flow unplugged?

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,920
Because we will always say yes to creativity totally uncut

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,399
because we all make mistakes, So turn it into a tool.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,480
This is arrow unplugged. Wow, that was very uncomfortable. There's

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,679
something that I do each morning before I begin my

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,119
process of growing forward inside this studio, and that is

11
00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:36,799
is that I share a daily prayer. And the way

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,039
that I have ended those prayers for the past what

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,119
eight years? Eight years every day eight years? It didn't

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,159
come to me this morning. I got to that point

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,880
where it was time to wrap it up, and I

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,479
had no idea how I was going to wrap it up.

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,479
After eight years, I suddenly forgot how to end it.

18
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:57,960
And it's something so simple in the way of we

19
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:00,359
are not lost, we are not in fear, a grateful

20
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:03,719
for your everyday presence. But here's the thing. I couldn't

21
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:08,040
remember it. Little stuff like this gets inside my skull

22
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:10,599
and all of a sudden, the worry warts are all

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,120
over the body and you're going, oh my god, it's

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,000
freaking me out. Is it too much content? Am I

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,159
trying to do too much all at once? What would

26
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:23,280
make the mind just suddenly shut down and you can't

27
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,879
remember something that you've been saying every single day for

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,640
eight years. Oh, this will be a subject in my

29
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,239
daily writing. We will cover this. I will go to

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,920
my favorite person, doctor Google, and Doctor Google will tell

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,799
me everything that is wrong with me, and none of

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,920
it really is what's wrong with me. But it's early

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,000
in the morning, which might be the answer itself. Then again,

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,719
I've been up early in the morning since the early

35
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:50,640
part of the nineteen nineties when I was doing morning

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,200
show radio on that big old terrestrial tower. Those moments

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,120
where you do something consistently until that day and your

38
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:03,560
mind can't put it back together. Hey, it's aro. This

39
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:05,599
is the choice. This is what I was writing while

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,439
the sun was waking up on a brilliant new day. Today,

41
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:11,080
we are reading from April seventh, twenty twenty three. Good Friday.

42
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:16,319
Good Friday, which means what to a non Christian Wait

43
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:17,680
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,719
wait no judgment here. No, no, no, We're not going that way.

45
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,159
We're not going that way. It's just a simple question.

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,680
It's honest. To find peace in each other's travels. It

47
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,680
requires a truer understanding of who we are. What is

48
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:34,560
your walk of life? Three days before Easter, Good Friday

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,960
commemorates the crucifixion of Christ, a day of morning and reflection.

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,439
It's not really good, as in whoa boy? That was good? Jonathan,

51
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:46,919
my preacher friend, once said to me, the Jay Man,

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,120
he's gonna come back one day. He's gonna be so disappointed.

53
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,680
We've taken a day his worst day and glorified it.

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,400
So what about those who don't walk the same path? Well? Do?

55
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:03,439
Here's the thing. I'm open to be taught. Teach me

56
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,719
your path, Teach me what your heart accepts, to embrace,

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,879
not to preach or to tamper with, but to be

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,560
yourself and to be respected for being you, for all

59
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:20,560
that you are. We are all equal, different in so

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,039
many ways and expected, but how we live should never

61
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:29,800
overshadow another person's belief and or choice. And with that thought,

62
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,360
we are free to roam the streets to have a

63
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:40,680
great Friday. Say that great Friday. It's like when people

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,159
greet you, they usually say, so, how you doing. I'm okay,

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,719
ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ooh. Why not lie a little bit? No, seriously,

66
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:56,080
it's okay, how's your day? Fantastic? See, you don't have

67
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,560
to be fantastic. It just feels good to say fantastic,

68
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:06,319
how's your family fantastic instead of I'm okay, they're okay, yeah,

69
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,479
or the little pet peeve that I have when somebody

70
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,639
I ask them, so, how's your day? Man, I've had

71
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:20,160
the worst day of my life. There goes my fantastic

72
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,800
right out the door. I love the idea of learning

73
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:28,240
who you are. It opens up not only my thoughts

74
00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:32,800
but my heart and beginning new journeys that we can replenish,

75
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,720
replenish with great ideas, fantastic ambitions, because once we learn

76
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,319
about ourselves, Wow, the conversation is right there. And maybe

77
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:50,519
maybe that's my weakness. I love sharing conversations, not texting,

78
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,560
not emails, not zoom because zoom, I see your face,

79
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,800
but I don't feel your texture. Have a conversation, ask

80
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,639
the tough questions. Okay, it's good Friday for a bunch

81
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:08,839
of people. If you don't celebrate it. I celebrate you.

82
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,399
I celebrate you because I want to learn more about you.

83
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:18,439
I love that uniqueness about life, learn about it, grow

84
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:23,480
with it, reach out not only to be heard, not

85
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:27,759
only to be seen, but to communicate. I'm Marrow, and

86
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,199
that's what I was writing while the sun was waking

87
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,639
up on a brilliant new day.
