1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Being truthful with yourself is very important. Being addicted to 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,160 creativity and identifying yourself as being that addict is very important. 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,439 We are addicted to creativity. Why do you think we're 4 00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:14,199 always on Amazon? Why do you think we're always at 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,160 the mall? Because we want other people's creativity, and when 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,800 it comes to our own creativity, we're shutting that monkey 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,920 off because it's striving us wild. And then you wonder 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,559 why you have to take melatonin at night to get 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,559 some sleep, because your creative monster is trying to be heard. Unplugged, 10 00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:32,000 because we will always say yes to creativity, totally uncut, 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,479 because we all make mistakes, So turn it into a tool. 12 00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:38,240 This is arrow unplugged. My goodness, I was blessed with 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,880 the most incredible lecture yesterday. M mmm. Not because of me, 14 00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:44,759 Not because I was the one that was doing the talking, No, no, 15 00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:49,439 no no. The people that were there for the lecture participated, 16 00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:53,399 They got into it, They asked questions, they wanted to learn. 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,520 My God, there is no better feeling than collaborationicipate, patient. 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,560 When you're bringing something to somebody that will ultimately change them, 19 00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:10,079 it means that they will have the sense and the 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,319 direction to change others as well. But man, there's just 21 00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:20,200 no better feeling than that connection being heard and then 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,079 seeing what was heard activated. It doesn't happen all the time. 23 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,400 You can go through my daily writing the past year 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,719 and a half or so, my lectures, Oh oh oh, 25 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,799 oh oh, they have not been good because I couldn't 26 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:42,400 figure out where was the disconnection. Why wasn't it materializing? 27 00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:48,719 What's happening here? So I gave it one more shot. Man, 28 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280 I'm just glad they showed up. I'm glad they showed up. Hey, Tarrow, 29 00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:54,280 This is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through in 30 00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,680 everyday world. I am a daily writer. I am a 31 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:02,120 silent wolf. I watch life, I document it, I study it, 32 00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:05,159 and I invite you to do the same thing, because wow, 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,560 there is just so much going on. But do we 34 00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:11,479 have an answer? Are you trying to seek a better way? 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,919 What is your journey? This is the daily mess? Building 36 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,560 a page of thoughts for some Uh, I ain't doing that. 37 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,120 I'm not putting my words on a page that's too hard. 38 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,680 Somebody might read it. Oh no, no, no, no, they 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,639 will judge me for it. Building a page of thoughts. 40 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,680 Think of it as unlocking the heart. Filling the brain 41 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,840 with the fuel that's required to fire up that creative process. 42 00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:47,120 And then at that moment of writing, my wife was 43 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,960 watching How I Met Your Mother and Ted on the show, 44 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:56,400 does one thing that changes my entire vision of what 45 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,319 I was going to write about today because it started 46 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:01,400 off building a page of thoughts, unlocking the heart, filling 47 00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,199 the brain with the fuel that feeds the creative fire. 48 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,680 And then Ted says, don't postpone joy. Three words that 49 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,599 carry a huge impact. Don't postpone joy, mainly because many 50 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,199 of us are running around so quickly that we're taking 51 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:25,759 our eyes up the paths of breaking free business. Friends 52 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,960 and leaders always say go where the money is, which 53 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,360 is the very reason why job hopping has become the 54 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,960 new normal. What have you got to lose? Do a 55 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,039 little bit more work for better take home pay? And 56 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,280 what do we do we start to complain? Don't postpone joy? 57 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,080 Guilty as charged. The outings we make, the reservations have 58 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:53,159 to be done months in advance, only to be canceled 59 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,800 a week away, all in the name of constantly being available. 60 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,000 Come on, you've been there before. The moment you tell 61 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,879 somebody know they're going to get somebody else, and the 62 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:05,439 next time there's an opportunity, they're going to call them 63 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,439 rather than you. The goal should be to break free 64 00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:16,120 of always saying yes, it will physically postpone your joy. 65 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,759 That is a heavy subject. Where would we have gone 66 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,720 if we would have said building a page of thoughts 67 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:26,720 unlucking the heart? But no, Ted, how I met your 68 00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:32,560 mother said don't postpone joy? And we are next week 69 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,879 we were supposed to go camping. We postponed it because 70 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,759 we were given the opportunity to do something, and if 71 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,759 we would have said no, it would have gone to 72 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,240 somebody else. I'm not the only one who does this. 73 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680 Come on, now, how do you find yourself in a 74 00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:53,199 place of reaching beyond that little fear of never getting 75 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,279 that opportunity again? Now between the two of us here, 76 00:04:56,319 --> 00:05:00,279 I'm being transparent, Okay. The reason why I say yes 77 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:04,399 to so many conversations with people of creativity is because 78 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:06,120 what are the chances I'm ever going to get the 79 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,959 opportunity to share a moment with them ever? Again? Slim 80 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,439 to nothing. So when somebody says, hey, look, they're only 81 00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:18,959 open at this time, and you know this time is 82 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,680 already full, how do you move your clock. How do 83 00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:25,839 you move that calendar? What do you do? A cold 84 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:29,319 sweat just takes over your body because you want the 85 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:33,800 opportunity to be in that moment. And when you get 86 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,399 to feel that moment, you realize you sacrificed a lot. 87 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,560 But more importantly, because Ted said it today on How 88 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,079 I Met Your Mother, don't postpone joy. Plant that one 89 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,879 in your garden. Let's see what the vines look like 90 00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:54,480 as they climb up the tree. Because a tree never sleeps, 91 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,639 that vine gives it an opportunity to say, WHOA, slow 92 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:04,920 it down, I'm er whoo. And that's a daily mess.
