Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow
unplugged stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what's in
your present now. To get there requires practice. I do
one sheet of paper every day, just ten minutes, write
about whatever is moving through your presence of right now,
with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as
a listener, a communicator, and as an activator. Learning how
to trust what is right now. This is stream thinking today.
We're reading from April eighth, twenty twenty three. I start
things off by asking the question, what will life be
like by the time I reach this page? So much
of what's put on paper is from the present, but
it's messages to a future reader and or a listener
caught up in a past that they refuse to escape from.
So I always ask that's that question. Why does the
past feel more comfortable than being right here in the
right now. One author writes about wishing they were living
the good old days in their present place of now.
Research shows the past isn't better than right now. It's
just how we remember it when we look back, it
all makes sense. The original sentence proves that true what
will life be like by the time we get to
this present place with this page? The present is always uncertain.
It causes stress and discomfort. Where will you be when
you find this page on this podcast? What year? What month,
decade or even century? Whow I'm reading from the page
it says April A, twenty twenty three. I'm physically sitting
right now in June twenty seventh, twoy twenty three? Where
are you? What are you going through in whatever place
that you are presently living. I'm in the United States?
Where are you? How are you? Is it beginning to
become clearer in life? Or are we still sitting here
in this vein of uncertainty. Stream thinking gives us that
opportunity to take what is in this moment of now
and say, hey, look, I'm living in this place, but
I want to share it forward to a future reader,
to a future listener. I did a four hour lecture
last night, and one of the conversations that I really
brought to those that were there in attendance was that
you've got to stop thinking about what you want and
start putting your energy in what receivers need. Businesses they
think I'll build it, they'll come. Businesses also go out
of business. We don't think about what you are needing.
And in that process of thinking, we're taking a big
chance because we don't know where you are. Research shows
this and we will act like this. But by the
time that this reaches you, how much have you changed?
In everything that we do. We bring energy, whether you
want to share it or not. You exude that energy
in martial arts, they teach us it's right here in
the dongeon. That dongeon is your key energy. When you
hold that key energy, you are empowered to go beyond
where you presently stand. How will you use that energy?
And will it be for the positive? Will it be
for an outreach or will you keep everything in your
dongeon for a rainy day when you think that you're
going to need it more? But what happens when you
get there and you don't show up for even yourself?
What will life be like? By the time I reached
this page, I have no clue what was going on
in life on April eighth, twenty twenty three. But I
do sit next to the storage area where all of
my daily writing is and April eighth, twenty twenty three
is in there. But do I want to go see
what he was going through? No, because I believe in
living in the presence of right now, I'm Marrow and
that's stream thinking.
