Speaker 1: Somewhere along the lines, we got it mixed up. We
think that creativity should be associated with chefs and doctors
and artists and writers and musicians. Creativity is in everything
that you do, especially the way that you think 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. Where do you go? Where do
you go? When uncertainty has creeped back into your life?
You would think that with two years of the COVID lockdown,
we would have this uncertainty thing under control. But the
global headlines continuously pound on our hearts and souls and
you're going, please no more. You try to disconnect from it,
and it feels really bad when other people are talking
about things in the headlines and you're going, ah, I
got nothing to bring to this conversation. I got nothing.
So you jump back into that circle again and here
we go. Uncertainty is all over the place. How do
you make it through your personal storm? Hey? Sarah, this
is the Daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world.
I am a daily writer that helps me identify, to
deal with, to become aware of to heal. I don't know.
I think I need to do a lot more writing,
and then I can go back through those pages and
see if there was an inch covered, or maybe even
just a speck of dust like that of a mustard seed.
But writing is a great way to deal with uncertainty.
Make yourself aware of it. This is the daily mess.
We all know what's required when it comes to flossing
our teeth. Not everybody wants to do it because it
seems to be a pain in the butt. But they've
got these new tools. You can go and get in
there and get that junk out. How can we learn
to floss in between our personal experiences? There's got to
be a ton of crud collecting, more crud in places
that could lead to unexpected creuddy days with everything and
everyone to blame. When you get into a disagreement with somebody,
is it really about what you think it is? Or
is it the crud that's been collecting that gets in
the way and you have to figure out a way
to get that stuff out. If we don't floss between
our daily experiences, there's going to be a day that
we're going to realize that relationship was totally decaying right
there in front of us. Sure we talked about it before.
Daily writing is an amazing tool to put stuff out there,
but through twenty nine years of writing experience, it's only
part of the flossing. Writing tends to slowly loosen things up.
The next step would have to be to rinse out
the thoughts. That's a great right, so is brushing our
wisdom and questions, but it's still not going to create
the perfect smile. Awareness helps to polish the damaged areas,
but you still need to maintain a full daily discipline
to really find your way toward peace. I love talking
with older people, not because I am one, but I
love talking to them about being middle aged and above
and what it took to get to that moment, all
the mistakes that were uncovered and faced, you know, the journey,
the walk, the way. We've got to figure out a
way how to get in there and really cleanse out
the crud because it is collecting, and every day we
pick up social media, it's more and more and more.
It may not be your personal experiences because what we're
doing is we're collecting other people's bad days because we
want to compare our bad days to their bad days. Oh,
their bad day is horrible compared to mine. So today's
day for me is okay, I'll accept it because it
could have been as bad as their bad day. We
got to floss it out, and I realized that being
part of a team at your essential job, what is
required for you to achieve the success that they want?
They want it. All you want is to collect a
paycheck and go home. Creating a career is an ambition
that has been poisoned by other people's crud. Did you
go to college? Did you spend a lot of time
in your studies to become this? Only to realize you
became that? And it's like, why didn't I see the
signs during the early moments as a third degree black belt?
Never once did I ever think about how the body
would change so dramatically after a certain age that it
truly became AI an internal journey and not a physical journey.
Sure I can still do the exercises, Sure my memory
is still rock solid. But to go in there to
do the pum says, or to go into tournaments, oh,
I'd get my ass kicked. There's no way because the
body has aged, We've matured, I've had a lot of
crud with other crud mixed in with other crud, and
it's decayed a lot of relationships. They call it ghosting
these days. How many people have you ghosted because their
weight is too much crud for your weight? Writing talking
about but if you talk, you have to be able
to accept other people's opinions. How much crud do you
have in between your experiences to accept them. I'm Marrow
and that's the daily mess.
