1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,719
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,880
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Man,

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,199
It is so hard to locate an echo inside a

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,879
very noisy presence on this planet, locating that echo when

6
00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:22,679
it was the last time you heard one. Do we

7
00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:25,559
have a problem hearing things? Or is there so much

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,359
going on around us that it confuses the imagination? Research

9
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:33,200
says the world is getting louder. Who better to know

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,960
this than those who are in traffic in those emergency vehicles.

11
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,000
I mean, something has got to cut through all of

12
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:43,000
that sound, and it's their sirens that's getting our attention.

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Noise pollution can also cause human stress, and it raises

14
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:51,600
our blood pressure. Getting the mind, body, and soul into

15
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:55,439
areas of calm should be a daily requirement. But is

16
00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:59,439
sitting in a car during rush hour the answer? No

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,640
radio one, just you in that car. I prefer to

18
00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:06,319
write in silence now. Sadly, though, because I am a

19
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:09,200
daily writer, the voices in my head and heart are

20
00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:12,719
overbearing to the point of total distraction, So I rely

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,599
on meditation. It's a brilliant step toward peaceful healing, but

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,840
getting there can be blocked by physical and mental storms.

23
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,159
We're all getting tired of going Can you say that again? Hmm?

24
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:29,760
What'd you say? Hmm? I thought that's exactly what you said. Really,

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,920
what did you say again? Hey, Sarah? This is the

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,680
daily mess, chronological walk through an everyday world. I am

27
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:40,040
a daily writer, a silent wolf, watching life, observing things

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,640
that are taking place, without picking up a book or

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,680
reading something on my smartphone. It's all right here, and

30
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,799
it's how we act and react that brings the story

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,159
forward into that mind, body, and soul, into those places

32
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:56,480
that are going, Oh it's too loud, Oh my god,

33
00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:00,560
it's too loud. This is the daily mess, the attempt

34
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:03,480
to select the right thought to be shared. We all

35
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:06,680
struggle with this, the right thing to say at the

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,479
right time. I struggle because most people don't understand my

37
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:14,280
methods of using words. They want black and white, steak

38
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,439
and potato. But I'm putting things out there the way

39
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:21,319
a poet plays with emotion as well as expression. It

40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,199
might sound perfectly clear to me, but to the receiver,

41
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:28,439
they're deciding in that moment if it's something they agree

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,439
or disagree with. I truly try to keep what I

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,199
share amazingly simple. But there are times that I come

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,639
back to this daily writing and I have no clue

45
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,199
as to what I was trying to share. So I'm

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,199
left with the interpretation, just like somebody who is listening

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,080
to my voice. So what am I hiding from? Do

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,120
I use poetic messages as a way to expose a

49
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,159
different personality? I'm not so sure that's true. The writing

50
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,840
is more about the moment and not the movement, act

51
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,960
and react. How are you putting things out there on

52
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:08,280
social media or when you are in a crowd, how

53
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,479
are you putting your words, your expressions pitch volume and

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,280
tone into the hearts and ears of those that you're

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,879
standing with. And do they understand what you're trying to say?

56
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:19,520
Because how many times have you been in a position

57
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,159
where you're going I have to explain it to you again, Well,

58
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:23,879
I didn't get it. I didn't understand what you were

59
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,439
trying to say. What is your interpretation here of what

60
00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:29,520
you're trying to ask? That happens to me a lot

61
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,159
with my podcasting, where I'm blessed with the opportunity to

62
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:35,240
talk with a lot of movie directors and actors and musicians.

63
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:41,159
I will ask them the questions and they'll come back going, whoo, dude,

64
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:44,039
do it again. I Yeah, that was right over my head.

65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,080
Can you please just kind of slow it down and

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,759
use a simpler way of asking that question? The attempt

67
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,639
to select the right thought to be shared? And how

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,840
often when you share a thought does somebody feel offended?

69
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,719
And it's like, I didn't mean that. I really didn't

70
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:05,120
mean that. I was pushed into many, many HR meetings

71
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,319
while interrestrial radio because I would write things out to

72
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,520
motivate members of my staff, and you know what, they

73
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,280
would take it so wrong that they thought I was

74
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,199
spreading the word get religious on them. And it's like,

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,680
that's not where that was coming from at all. Please,

76
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,480
I'm sorry, Accept my apology. The attempt to select the

77
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,680
right thought to be shared? How do you get out

78
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,480
of it when you've said something poorly? Do you stay

79
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:34,120
in and try to defend yourself, which could lead to

80
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,720
an argument, or do you say whoa hold on? Hold on,

81
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,319
hold on, okay, Okay, I get what you're hearing versus

82
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,920
what I'm feeling. Okay, so let's work this out. We

83
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,600
are saying a lot of crazy things these days. We're

84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,680
also experiencing a lot of crazy things these days, and somehow,

85
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,519
some way, we got to get them together. They got

86
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:56,680
to collaborate together. But we've got to be able to

87
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,120
say it without bad tones orquestions that really offend others.

88
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,319
Be aware, Sit down sometime and ask yourself some questions

89
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,519
and find out what you are really like. Practice it

90
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,439
on yourself first, and then set yourself free. I'm Errow,

91
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:14,639
and that's the daily mess.
