Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in
your present. It's going to require some practice. Just one
sheet of paper a day, ten minutes write about whatever
is moving through your presence of right now, happy, sad,
in between, lost, fulfilled, whatever, just no judgment. Stream thinking
sharpens your skills as a listener, as a communicator, and
as an activator. Learning to trust the right now. This
is stream thinking today. We're reading from July eight, twenty
twenty three. I have followed millions of others enjoying this
new social media app called Threads. For selfish reasons, I've
leaped into a pile of readers, speakers, writers, viewers, and
whoever else is showing up. It's a platform that allows
me to plant my podcast links. Terrestrial radio is all
about localism, whereas streaming podcasting feeds the world and getting
to the planet means you've got to get beyond localism.
None of my digital platforms are connected to Threads, so
I'm having to go old school to do the work. Now.
By the time that we reach this page for the podcast,
I'm going to be anxious to find out if Elon
Musk actually sued Meta and why. Then again, some are
saying that Zuckerberg already has way too much. Okay, that
was written on July eighth, twenty twenty three. I am
on October ninth, twenty twenty three, and there has been
no lawsuit. And yes, I still use threads. But if
you ask people around you, so are you on threads yet?
What the hell is threads? Right? And so I did
some research over the weekend to find out, Hey, can
you interact with threads? That's not what it's about. It's
about just receiving I dig it, but I'm not getting
any response. And I think that's what was really supposed
to happen here, because we all like to just sit
there and just go through the moment. Look at the pictures. Oh,
look at the moving ones. Now, oh look at that.
But you can't just put up words like that on
x formerly, Twitter, any place that you can plant your soul,
your voice, your identity, your inner strength, your beliefs is
a great connection. Sure, it's always going to have its
bad side. It all depends what you're trying to plant
in the real world and will it be received the
way you want it to be. There are many people
on this planet that are working their words to affect
to move people, to get them to believe in and
or not believe in. And I ask you, is it
the weight of the world that is bringing you down?
It is taking me down because I can't break free
of my other threads. Everything is telling me what's going
right or wrong with the world. As my father would say,
stop being so nosy, Dad, I wish I would have
listened to you, because I really do feel like I
am one of the nosiest people on the planet. I
feel like missus Kravitz un bewitched. If you don't know
who missus Kravitz is, go look it up, jump onto
your own threads and find out how she was so
nosy And as a kid, it irritated the hell out
of me. I'm Maril, and that's stream thinking.
