1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm blessed with the opportunity to share a lot of

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,599
great conversations with creative people around the world. And one

3
00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:06,719
of the things that we really kind of dive into

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,279
is the process of bringing creativity forward. Where do you

5
00:00:10,359 --> 00:00:13,599
find the confidence to set it free, to put it

6
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:15,119
out there in the world. And the reason why I

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,920
always bring that up is because I want people who

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,600
are hiders to step free from their fears. Unplugged, because

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,519
we will always say yes to creativity, totally uncut, because

10
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:26,600
we all make mistakes, so turn it into a tool.

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,760
This is Arrow Unplugged. It's one of those quotes that

12
00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:31,839
I don't think I'm ever going to forget. I knew

13
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:34,920
exactly where I was when I heard it, how it

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,679
affected me, and how I need to learn from it.

15
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:41,320
The quote was we have to keep failing. The moment

16
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:44,719
we stop, we failed. It's a thought from a new

17
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,320
film soon to be set free on screens all over

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,679
the world. Thomas Edison remember his story. He never stopped

19
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,119
trying to invent the light bulb, and then one day

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,039
that little bugger lit up. How many years did Moses

21
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:02,920
travel across the desert floor. The moment we stop, we failed?

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,239
My master and Martial Arts once told me that most

23
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:09,280
quit their studies the moment that they get that black belt.

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,159
All of those times in class when students didn't land

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,359
the right kick or punch and or win that tournament,

26
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:20,239
and they didn't feel the urge to quit until that

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,480
black belt was wrapped around their waist. It's as if

28
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:27,560
the belt weighed too much. I don't know, I'm not them.

29
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:32,439
All of our lives have moments of escape. It's a choice.

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,400
Do you leap now or wait for a different time

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,599
in place to fail again and again. No, you didn't

32
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:44,599
fail until you quit. Hey, Taro, this is the daily Mess,

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,239
a chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a

34
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:50,239
daily writer. Movie quotes like this they get inside my

35
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,719
heart and I feel like it's like, dude, this is it.

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,519
Find your way, figure it out, learn from it, teach it.

37
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:03,680
That's a lot of weight. This is the daily mess,

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,719
making way for the walk, creating the space to step

39
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:12,759
through those four walls that we surround ourselves with, totally

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,319
setting free that trapped feeling. You've been there, you feel it?

41
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:19,280
Are you there now? When you're in the car, It's

42
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:22,919
like uugh, claustrophobic. I've been known to write about just

43
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,439
staring at a wall and feeling energy from that place,

44
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:31,240
of just positioning my mind. The mental walk has served

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,360
as an amazing tool to reconnect with shattered dots. My

46
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:39,280
transition walks are physical steps inside this forest in South Charlotte,

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,120
North Carolina, even while it's thirty one degrees or it's

48
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:46,800
lightly raining. The way must become the path. The way

49
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:51,080
is a growing relationship with building a more balanced process.

50
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,000
I mean, we're all changing, and these days it feels

51
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:58,439
like it's happening every hour. The expectations don't walk away,

52
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,560
so stress sets in and the mind and body always ache.

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Make way for the walk. You don't need a collection

54
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:09,919
of trees walking through the neighborhood needs to feel free

55
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,159
your source of energy while you receive their source of

56
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,000
energy making way for the walk. Okay, So how does

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,879
that tie in with we have to keep failing the

58
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:27,039
moment we stop. We failed. We aren't doing what we

59
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:32,439
were designed to do. We're allowing technology to smooth things out.

60
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,719
I'm reminded of this every time that my neighbor's robot

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,879
lawnmower is scooting across that lawn. Oh, it looks beautiful.

62
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,759
It really does. But I'm reminded of what about the

63
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,159
farmers and the people that would get out there and

64
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,240
work the soil with their mind, body, and soul. They

65
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,439
got into that soil. As a child, we had this

66
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,599
gigantic garden in South Billings, Montana, and we would have

67
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,080
to get out there and weed that garden. We got

68
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,680
so dirty underneath our nails. But at harvest time that

69
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:05,039
was a blast for me because when we were pulling

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800
those potatoes from the ground and those carrots, I would

71
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:11,319
eat them raw right on the spot. That is still

72
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,800
a place of joy inside of my heart. But as

73
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,879
we step free of what we were supposed to be

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,600
doing the way we were designed to work the entire body,

75
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:26,439
what's happening to us? A lot of people are breaking.

76
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:30,439
A few weeks ago, I was at the hospital and

77
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,199
you should have seen the number of people that were

78
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,360
coming in to be fixed from leg injuries, hips, arms, shoulders,

79
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,600
everything we're breaking now. I don't remember my parents or

80
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,920
my grandparents while I was growing up, always talking about

81
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:50,360
the body breaking. But it's physically before us today. We

82
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,959
have to keep failing. The moment we stop, we failed.

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,639
Make your way for that walk. You've got to keep

84
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,920
things moving and growing forward in everything that you do,

85
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,680
from the finance to the building of an idea, to

86
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,079
what you're doing at work, to having relationships with real people.

87
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,319
A relationship on Facebook or Twitter, it's not real. That's

88
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:24,000
a fake world. Getting up close, getting to know, making

89
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:29,639
way for the walk. I'm Marilyn and that's the daily mess.
