1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,000
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes,

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,119
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:10,359 --> 00:00:12,519
Kinna get real the kind of stuff that really puts

5
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:14,839
us on a path of Oh, I guess this really

6
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:18,480
is happening when life's paths put you in a place

7
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:21,440
that comes to you on Google Calendar as a collection

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,679
of several weeks that'll seem challenging. But are they challenging?

9
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,239
What if the universe suddenly shifts to keep us replenished,

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,000
to maintain a path of outward growth without getting bored,

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,759
Because in reality, that's when we want to instantly replace

12
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,520
things to embrace a thought about taking a chance, to

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,479
which I grip because there's nothing like learning brand new things.

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,119
But how much time will be saved to properly grow

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,280
with it? I do live by the strength and mistakes

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,560
of the Google calendar, good or bad. I have to

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,439
leave notes to stop and get gas, to remind myself

18
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:57,840
to set up a doctor's appointment, and all other things

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,719
that once seem so easy to achieve with without something

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,519
going thing has googled, just like spell check made us lazy.

21
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,599
What are your plans for the next day? Oh look,

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,959
let's go to Google calendar and find out. Hey, it's Errol.

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,439
This is the Daily Mess, a chronological walk through an

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,239
everyday world. I am a daily writer. I view life.

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,680
I look at everything around us, and you can see

26
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:26,680
all that's missing. But how much of it do you recognize?

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,239
Or how much of it do you pass because you

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,200
don't want to invest through required energy? This is the

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Daily Mess. We're going to talk about the Transition today,

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,920
which includes a television commercial that I saw many many

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,159
times as a child growing up in the state of Montana.

32
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:45,599
The little boy in the commercial walks up to the tree.

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,840
There's an owl up there, and the kid asks how

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,480
many licks does it take to get to the center

35
00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:55,359
of a CHUTCHI pop, let's see one, two, three, crunch,

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,560
and then the announcer comes in. The world may never know.

37
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,239
The entire commercial lasted fifteen seconds, with the strength to

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,840
remove five decades of weight, taking me directly into a

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,759
childhood that was blessed with parental love and discipline. It

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,960
wasn't the best looking house. It was a home which

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,199
is still standing today, but under the control of a

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,560
third generation. The transition, handing things forward, believing that what

43
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,120
you were once part of still carries the love and

44
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:29,280
discipline that your parents shared with you. This is why

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,319
it's so important to learn how to share the family story,

46
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:37,960
not just yours, but to get other family members to

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,719
put in their experiences. I grew up in a house

48
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:45,520
of eight kids. None of us are the same. We

49
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,120
may kind of resemble each other. You might say you're related, right,

50
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,240
but our lives none of us share the same path.

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,159
And as my brothers and sisters are in their transition,

52
00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:01,400
I'm not going to get theirs. I can base it

53
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,840
off my own personal experiences. But the one thing that's

54
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,039
missing from this ancestor thing that we've been doing is

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,759
we're not getting the story, the journey of what they

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,960
went through in order to become because everybody is carrying

57
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:20,159
their own story forward, and for some it's a lot

58
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,120
of weight. For others, it's just fluff they're throwing over

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,080
their shoulders. Before that transition happens and you move into

60
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,520
a fourth and a fifth generation, what are you preserving

61
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,960
for those that are in front of us. I have

62
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:37,199
nothing on my grandparents, Grandma Dobrins, or even Grandma Bakan

63
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:40,759
for that matter, my step grandmother, Grandma Anthony from Billingspontana.

64
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:44,800
I have nothing because I didn't take the time to

65
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:47,680
ask the questions. The only thing that I have are

66
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:50,919
my personal experiences, and even at sixty one, I look

67
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,039
back going, I don't know if it's right guy, because

68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
it's going to be based on what you know today

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,560
and not what you experienced yesterday. When you do this

70
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,879
ancestor thing, you go to these websites and you try

71
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:04,960
to figure out who you've been related with all these

72
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:07,319
years and try to dig up some family secrets and

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360
see if you're really related with. Why don't you also

74
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:14,360
invest some energy in sharing the story of your family.

75
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:18,360
Maybe it's time that you dig into the family recipes

76
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:20,839
and start giving it to the rest of the world.

77
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,879
I'm Marrow and that's the daily mess.
