1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,360
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:10,279
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,880
unplugged stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what's in

5
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:18,760
your present now. To get there requires practice. I do

6
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:21,839
one sheet of paper every day, just ten minutes, write

7
00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:25,160
about whatever is moving through your presence of right now,

8
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,079
with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as

9
00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:34,520
a listener, a communicator, and as an activator. Learning how

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,200
to trust what is right now. This is stream thinking today.

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,159
We're reading from April eighth, twenty twenty three. I start

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,880
things off by asking the question, what will life be

13
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,399
like by the time I reach this page? So much

14
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:52,759
of what's put on paper is from the present, but

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,320
it's messages to a future reader and or a listener

16
00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:59,119
caught up in a past that they refuse to escape from.

17
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:01,439
So I always ask that's that question. Why does the

18
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:05,040
past feel more comfortable than being right here in the

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,400
right now. One author writes about wishing they were living

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,480
the good old days in their present place of now.

21
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:14,599
Research shows the past isn't better than right now. It's

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,280
just how we remember it when we look back, it

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,799
all makes sense. The original sentence proves that true what

24
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:25,840
will life be like by the time we get to

25
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:30,879
this present place with this page? The present is always uncertain.

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,319
It causes stress and discomfort. Where will you be when

27
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:42,680
you find this page on this podcast? What year? What month,

28
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:49,480
decade or even century? Whow I'm reading from the page

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,280
it says April A, twenty twenty three. I'm physically sitting

30
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:58,680
right now in June twenty seventh, twoy twenty three? Where

31
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:02,680
are you? What are you going through in whatever place

32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,239
that you are presently living. I'm in the United States?

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Where are you? How are you? Is it beginning to

34
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,960
become clearer in life? Or are we still sitting here

35
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,360
in this vein of uncertainty. Stream thinking gives us that

36
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:24,360
opportunity to take what is in this moment of now

37
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,080
and say, hey, look, I'm living in this place, but

38
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:31,639
I want to share it forward to a future reader,

39
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,039
to a future listener. I did a four hour lecture

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,240
last night, and one of the conversations that I really

41
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:41,360
brought to those that were there in attendance was that

42
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,960
you've got to stop thinking about what you want and

43
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:51,120
start putting your energy in what receivers need. Businesses they

44
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:54,599
think I'll build it, they'll come. Businesses also go out

45
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,599
of business. We don't think about what you are needing.

46
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,719
And in that process of thinking, we're taking a big

47
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,840
chance because we don't know where you are. Research shows

48
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:13,000
this and we will act like this. But by the

49
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:17,240
time that this reaches you, how much have you changed?

50
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,159
In everything that we do. We bring energy, whether you

51
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:27,120
want to share it or not. You exude that energy

52
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,120
in martial arts, they teach us it's right here in

53
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,280
the dongeon. That dongeon is your key energy. When you

54
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:39,560
hold that key energy, you are empowered to go beyond

55
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:44,879
where you presently stand. How will you use that energy?

56
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,039
And will it be for the positive? Will it be

57
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,000
for an outreach or will you keep everything in your

58
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,240
dongeon for a rainy day when you think that you're

59
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,120
going to need it more? But what happens when you

60
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,840
get there and you don't show up for even yourself?

61
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,159
What will life be like? By the time I reached

62
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:11,439
this page, I have no clue what was going on

63
00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:15,560
in life on April eighth, twenty twenty three. But I

64
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,199
do sit next to the storage area where all of

65
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,000
my daily writing is and April eighth, twenty twenty three

66
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:25,319
is in there. But do I want to go see

67
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,279
what he was going through? No, because I believe in

68
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,879
living in the presence of right now, I'm Marrow and

69
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,279
that's stream thinking.
