Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we always make mistakes.
So why not turn it into a tool. This is
arrow unplugged. I was watching the new show with Craig Robinson,
a good show. It's called Killing It. They had a
quote that really kind of got into me. Didn't kill me,
it motivated me. He said, I'm a cop, completely optimistic person.
Never thought about that, I'm a cop. Being optimistic actually
helps us have a happier attitude, which leads to greater
success and better health. Optimism helps protect us from times
of depression. When put up against pessimism, my question is
who wins. Believe it or not. Being pessimistic can also
lower your anxiety. I've always joked around about being an
optimistic pessimist looking at the good things or opportunities, but
with a very watchful eye playing out the role of
what if it feels good to be connected with an
opportunity that looks to have a payoff, but how real
is the moment and how long can it last? I
was very excited to become part of two internet radio
stations that were amazingly unique and blessed with so much potential. Sadly, though,
both creators of these internet radio stations didn't understand the
true requirements. I'm talking about total focus and loyalty, learning
how to keep it together when you're at your highest
or lowest peaks. The challenges became too great, so they
walked away. Hey, sero, this is the daily mass, a
chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a daily writer.
I look at life, I take chances. I write about
the failures because there's always something that we're going to
learn from them, which I think is one of the
reasons why my answer is always, yeah, let's do it,
because somewhere along the line, whatever I learned, I'm going
to use up there, So I have to do the
practicing right here. That's one of the things that we
learned as martial artists. My sabodym would say, you don't
come to class to practice, You come to class to learn.
You practice on your own time, not my time. Whoo,
this is the daily mess. I wish there was some
sort of large door that we could close when what
we've lived in life becomes too visible to our present
place in life. If we could figure out easier ways
to stay present, you know, like right here, but we don't.
I feel at times that our present world and state
are physically too much to digest, so the mind retreats
to where we once were, thinking it was more peaceful
and the times were a lot happier. Well, while visiting
that particular time period, the good times begin to fade
all too quickly, because it's like listening to your favorite
song on the radio over and over and eventually you
get burned out by it. This is why I write
in the morning. I have my pages, and then I
have a D for journal. It keeps my feet planted
in this place of constantly growing challenges to accept and
recognize the tiny victories, to be in a moment of
realism without having to dress it up to look like something.
That's not what happens if I stop writing. And I
think about you when I say that, because if you
haven't started writing or putting your vocals in a digital device,
all of that stuff that's coming at you every single moment,
what are you doing with it? Do you feel bloated?
Are you trying to wash it away? Or shoot it out? Somehow?
If I stopped writing, would I have enough strength to
pick myself back up. I might cry a little now,
but I'm trying to prevent a moment where I'm going
to cry a lot more. If I stop writing, I'm arrow,
and that's the daily mess.
