00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm not just a podcaster. I'm a podcast connoisseur. That

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,040
means I listen, I study, I pay close attention. But

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,919
when it comes to variety, how many times have you

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,919
gone to somebody's streaming website and when nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Okay,

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,839
now you know why we created erro dot net a

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,519
r r oe dot net, Seventeen different styles of podcast

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,920
to choose from. Enjoy your exploration.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: Hey, zero, and this is vocal dfreg. Vocal d fregging

9
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,719
is asking yourself the questions and then questioning the answers.

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,399
We're always turning to other people for answers, but we

11
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,719
never turn to ourselves. And yet we'll plant our face

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,280
on a smartphone if we're on a computer and take

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,520
in so much content and never really find out what

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,799
it is that we're looking for. We'll just keep adding

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,200
things on, saying well, maybe one day I'll get back

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,799
to it. Ask yourself the questions and question the answers.

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,799
It takes courage, it takes confidence. You have to dare

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,280
yourself to do it many times, and when you think

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,679
you're done, keep pushing. Keep pushing, because there are many

20
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:03,719
times when you're going to the bathroom. You know you

21
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:06,560
know what I'm talking about. You're not done until your

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,280
body says you're done. This is vocal dfragging. So the

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,760
question today is why is it that we can't seem

24
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:15,120
to let go of our past. I've been doing a

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,519
lot of research on that, and I came across something

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,599
early this morning that really kind of took me by surprise,

27
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:24,200
and that is, when it comes to our past, one

28
00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:26,560
of the reasons why we hold on to it is

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,879
because we only want to deal with what we know.

30
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,200
If you don't know what's happening in your presence of

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,280
now or in the future, then that creates uncertainty. Ooh

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,319
wait a second, stop right there. Uncertainty. We've been dealing

33
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:44,200
with that since the COVID lockdown and even before that,

34
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:45,959
but nobody really put a lot of focus on it

35
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:50,120
or spoke about it in the open forms. But uncertainty

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,400
comes when we step away from the past that we

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,519
refuse to shake when in reality we're supposed to be

38
00:01:57,599 --> 00:01:59,799
living in the presence of now and dealing with what

39
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:02,599
is now. I have a coworker that told another one

40
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:09,039
yesterday that people who have been challenged in life heart attacks, cancer,

41
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:11,800
different reasons why you may have been in the hospital.

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,840
They tend to look at the present as being that

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,199
place of, oh my god, I am so lucky to

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,759
be in this moment of now, and I'm so grateful

45
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:24,360
to be here. And yet those that haven't faced challenges

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,639
like that yet are sitting there going, well, why did

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,080
you do this? When did you do it? Oh? Man?

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,719
I like living in my past. That's where everything was

49
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,479
like perfect at one time. That's kind of odd to

50
00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:37,199
say perfect at one time. I had another friend that

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,159
once said during my humble days, and when she said that,

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,919
I kind of looked inward, going, why is it she said,

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,159
in my humble bays? Are you not humble anymore? Do

54
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:51,240
you make so much money that you don't have to

55
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,800
be humble? I was totally lost on that. But she

56
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,599
was in her moment of now, and she felt that

57
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:01,120
during her humble bays she was more giving to the community,

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,800
but these days, well it was more about her. So

59
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:06,639
is that one of the things that we're uncertain about

60
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,560
as well, is that we don't know if we're still

61
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:11,800
going to be the same people when we get to

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,199
the opposite side. So we stick to our past something

63
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,280
that we already know, something we always write about, we

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,120
think about, we tell new tales because hey, if you

65
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,280
weren't there, I can pretty much say whatever I want

66
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,319
and build that story around how I want. Well, that's

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,639
not good for the mind, body, and soul, not at all,

68
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,000
because you can't always live up to what you think

69
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,520
you are, and you're always going to bump into somebody

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,840
who was there or fell witness to it, and they're

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,039
going to say, yeah, I don't think that's right. I

72
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,919
know it went differently than what you're saying. Sag my

73
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:52,759
radio career, forty six years. What do you want to know?

74
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:57,199
The problem is is that what you're asking about is

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,680
based on my modern day interpretation unless you go into

76
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:04,599
my daily writing of thirty two years and you take

77
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:07,080
a look at those notes which were taken while I

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,400
was in the broadcast industry, radio itself. So you sit

79
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:14,680
there and you go, Okay, ask yourself the questions and

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,959
questioning the answers. What do I want to know? And

81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,240
will the interpretation give me the opportunity to grow forward?

82
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:28,639
Ask the questions, question the answers. Don't get locked up

83
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:33,240
into this thing called uncertainty. If you're walking away from

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,560
your past. Be confident that you're going to learn something

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,600
today and you're probably gonna have a lot of fun

86
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,959
doing it. I'm Errol. That's a vocal beep.
