Speaker 1: I like asking questions. The reason why is because the
fun begins when you start researching for answers such as,
why do we tend to support the bad guy over
the good guy? Plus we all admit to falling behind,
but is there a way to ever catch up? My
name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing
but watch, listen, study, and activate. I call it the
daily mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yep,
it's my morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,
we as people tend to throw things to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later.
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. Why do we tend to support
the bad guy more than the good guy? Making such
a decision is seen as psychological, emotional, and cultural. The
bad guy is often seen more interesting. Villains are usually
layered with a backstory. They aren't evil by evil's sake.
They're shaped by trauma and revenge. That's what fuels their unpredictability.
They take risks, break rules, and challenge the system, which
can be very exciting for a bystander. People like a
real good bad guy because they're anti hero. The Joker
and Tony Soprano are great examples. Bad guys are flawed,
they do things wrong, but fans and followers empathize with them.
We actually ask the question, hmm, what would I do
in that situation? Rebellion is relatable. Villains stand up to authority,
They question the norm. Cheering for them is compared to
cheering for personal freedom or revenge against injustice. The good
guy feels boring and totally fake. Coming up next, we
all admit to being behind, but can we ever catch up? Hey?
Thanks for coming back to the day. We're all living
a very busy lifestyle. It feels like everyone keeps falling behind.
Can we ever catch up? Mental health experts say yeah,
we can, but how well It depends on how falling
behind you really are. There is no way you can
catch up overnight. Progress, though is possible. Falling behind doesn't
mean you're failing. The number one thing to do is
to start right where you are, be present in your
right now, not where you think you should be. Create
a doable plan of action, one day at a time,
one task, one conversation. Let go of that desire to
be a perfectionist. Trying to do things perfect leads to burnout.
Aim for better, not perfect. Consistency will always win when
in trouble. Lean on someone for support. Who is your
mentor or your coach? Do you need to get more tools?
No one catches up doing it alone. Keep telling yourself
that it's never too late to begin again. The calling
is to make sure that you don't wait to start.
Slow progress is still process. It's always best when you
take your time to map out the exact steps. I'm Ryl,
and that's the daily mess.
