Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. You have to have creativity around you.
That's how you tick. It may not be your creativity,
but somebody else's creativity is a huge part of your
process of always growing forward. But let's put some focus
on you. Where are you at with your creative flow unplugged?
Because we will always say yes to creativity totally uncut
because we all make mistakes, So turn it into a tool.
This is arrow unplugged. Wow, that was very uncomfortable. There's
something that I do each morning before I begin my
process of growing forward inside this studio, and that is
is that I share a daily prayer. And the way
that I have ended those prayers for the past what
eight years? Eight years every day eight years? It didn't
come to me this morning. I got to that point
where it was time to wrap it up, and I
had no idea how I was going to wrap it up.
After eight years, I suddenly forgot how to end it.
And it's something so simple in the way of we
are not lost, we are not in fear, a grateful
for your everyday presence. But here's the thing. I couldn't
remember it. Little stuff like this gets inside my skull
and all of a sudden, the worry warts are all
over the body and you're going, oh my god, it's
freaking me out. Is it too much content? Am I
trying to do too much all at once? What would
make the mind just suddenly shut down and you can't
remember something that you've been saying every single day for
eight years. Oh, this will be a subject in my
daily writing. We will cover this. I will go to
my favorite person, doctor Google, and Doctor Google will tell
me everything that is wrong with me, and none of
it really is what's wrong with me. But it's early
in the morning, which might be the answer itself. Then again,
I've been up early in the morning since the early
part of the nineteen nineties when I was doing morning
show radio on that big old terrestrial tower. Those moments
where you do something consistently until that day and your
mind can't put it back together. Hey, it's aro. This
is the choice. This is what I was writing while
the sun was waking up on a brilliant new day. Today,
we are reading from April seventh, twenty twenty three. Good Friday.
Good Friday, which means what to a non Christian Wait
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait no judgment here. No, no, no, We're not going that way.
We're not going that way. It's just a simple question.
It's honest. To find peace in each other's travels. It
requires a truer understanding of who we are. What is
your walk of life? Three days before Easter, Good Friday
commemorates the crucifixion of Christ, a day of morning and reflection.
It's not really good, as in whoa boy? That was good? Jonathan,
my preacher friend, once said to me, the Jay Man,
he's gonna come back one day. He's gonna be so disappointed.
We've taken a day his worst day and glorified it.
So what about those who don't walk the same path? Well? Do?
Here's the thing. I'm open to be taught. Teach me
your path, Teach me what your heart accepts, to embrace,
not to preach or to tamper with, but to be
yourself and to be respected for being you, for all
that you are. We are all equal, different in so
many ways and expected, but how we live should never
overshadow another person's belief and or choice. And with that thought,
we are free to roam the streets to have a
great Friday. Say that great Friday. It's like when people
greet you, they usually say, so, how you doing. I'm okay,
ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ooh. Why not lie a little bit? No, seriously,
it's okay, how's your day? Fantastic? See, you don't have
to be fantastic. It just feels good to say fantastic,
how's your family fantastic instead of I'm okay, they're okay, yeah,
or the little pet peeve that I have when somebody
I ask them, so, how's your day? Man, I've had
the worst day of my life. There goes my fantastic
right out the door. I love the idea of learning
who you are. It opens up not only my thoughts
but my heart and beginning new journeys that we can replenish,
replenish with great ideas, fantastic ambitions, because once we learn
about ourselves, Wow, the conversation is right there. And maybe
maybe that's my weakness. I love sharing conversations, not texting,
not emails, not zoom because zoom, I see your face,
but I don't feel your texture. Have a conversation, ask
the tough questions. Okay, it's good Friday for a bunch
of people. If you don't celebrate it. I celebrate you.
I celebrate you because I want to learn more about you.
I love that uniqueness about life, learn about it, grow
with it, reach out not only to be heard, not
only to be seen, but to communicate. I'm Marrow, and
that's what I was writing while the sun was waking
up on a brilliant new day.
