1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,879
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we always make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,400
So why not turn it into a tool. This is

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,320
arrow unplugged. I was watching the new show with Craig Robinson,

5
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:18,039
a good show. It's called Killing It. They had a

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,120
quote that really kind of got into me. Didn't kill me,

7
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:26,280
it motivated me. He said, I'm a cop, completely optimistic person.

8
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:32,240
Never thought about that, I'm a cop. Being optimistic actually

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,079
helps us have a happier attitude, which leads to greater

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,799
success and better health. Optimism helps protect us from times

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,640
of depression. When put up against pessimism, my question is

12
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:47,880
who wins. Believe it or not. Being pessimistic can also

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,960
lower your anxiety. I've always joked around about being an

14
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:55,479
optimistic pessimist looking at the good things or opportunities, but

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,359
with a very watchful eye playing out the role of

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,920
what if it feels good to be connected with an

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,879
opportunity that looks to have a payoff, but how real

18
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,760
is the moment and how long can it last? I

19
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:13,760
was very excited to become part of two internet radio

20
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:20,040
stations that were amazingly unique and blessed with so much potential. Sadly, though,

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,560
both creators of these internet radio stations didn't understand the

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,439
true requirements. I'm talking about total focus and loyalty, learning

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,799
how to keep it together when you're at your highest

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,319
or lowest peaks. The challenges became too great, so they

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,079
walked away. Hey, sero, this is the daily mass, a

26
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,599
chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a daily writer.

27
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480
I look at life, I take chances. I write about

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,439
the failures because there's always something that we're going to

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,719
learn from them, which I think is one of the

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,280
reasons why my answer is always, yeah, let's do it,

31
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,560
because somewhere along the line, whatever I learned, I'm going

32
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:00,959
to use up there, So I have to do the

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,920
practicing right here. That's one of the things that we

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,040
learned as martial artists. My sabodym would say, you don't

35
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:09,719
come to class to practice, You come to class to learn.

36
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:13,240
You practice on your own time, not my time. Whoo,

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,960
this is the daily mess. I wish there was some

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,159
sort of large door that we could close when what

39
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,159
we've lived in life becomes too visible to our present

40
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:26,759
place in life. If we could figure out easier ways

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,840
to stay present, you know, like right here, but we don't.

42
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,680
I feel at times that our present world and state

43
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,199
are physically too much to digest, so the mind retreats

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,240
to where we once were, thinking it was more peaceful

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,560
and the times were a lot happier. Well, while visiting

46
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:47,039
that particular time period, the good times begin to fade

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,159
all too quickly, because it's like listening to your favorite

48
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:54,439
song on the radio over and over and eventually you

49
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,439
get burned out by it. This is why I write

50
00:02:57,479 --> 00:02:59,400
in the morning. I have my pages, and then I

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,680
have a D for journal. It keeps my feet planted

52
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:07,360
in this place of constantly growing challenges to accept and

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,360
recognize the tiny victories, to be in a moment of

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,080
realism without having to dress it up to look like something.

55
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,960
That's not what happens if I stop writing. And I

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,719
think about you when I say that, because if you

57
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,520
haven't started writing or putting your vocals in a digital device,

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,879
all of that stuff that's coming at you every single moment,

59
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,719
what are you doing with it? Do you feel bloated?

60
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Are you trying to wash it away? Or shoot it out? Somehow?

61
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,280
If I stopped writing, would I have enough strength to

62
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:46,879
pick myself back up. I might cry a little now,

63
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,199
but I'm trying to prevent a moment where I'm going

64
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,919
to cry a lot more. If I stop writing, I'm arrow,

65
00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:56,479
and that's the daily mess.
