1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,879
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,080
so turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:13,439
Here's an interesting thought. If everywhere we go is another

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,519
opportunity to grow, what becomes the most important tools for

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,399
us to use. So many of us complain endlessly when

7
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:25,320
our computers and smartphones need updates. I'm pretty sure humans

8
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:29,519
move through the same adjustments. The only difference we aren't electronic,

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,359
and that means something physical is happening or it's set

10
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:35,679
to be played out along your journey. It's not wrong

11
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:39,280
to begin a new day closing off your mental mechanism

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,719
that allows you to have new tools. But I do wonder, though,

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,439
which ones do we tend to set aside, which might

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,679
push us totally away from where our destination should have been.

15
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:53,759
I write every day to keep notes, to not always

16
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:57,960
locate great ideas, but to plant seeds that may one

17
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:01,960
day become fruit. Hey, serol, this is the daily Mess,

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,239
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am that

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,879
daily writer. I am a silent wolf. I sit beneath

20
00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:11,560
the brush of a tree and I watch life. I

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,519
observe the animals, the curve of the wind. I watch

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,799
other people, I listen to conversations. There is so much

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,519
to learn, and like I said, which one of these

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,079
tools will become the ones that we need in our

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,000
present day of life? This is the daily mess, this

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,959
thing called life. What if life was like the TV

27
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:35,519
show Scrubs, not the physical storyline, but rather life being

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,000
a series of very short scenes, some that pop with

29
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,239
laughter and others being pretty darn serious, but only for

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,519
about ten or twelve seconds, and then we're back to normal.

31
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,840
A full day then would only be what twenty minutes long?

32
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,799
That wouldn't be a warm garden to plant dreams and ambitions.

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,599
Although we struggle with working ten hour days, driving for

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,799
several days, or dreadfully sitting in a dentist chair, make

35
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:03,640
the most of the required experience puts breaks on what

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,599
feels like a scrub storyline one two three, next, one

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,840
two three, next again. Growing with your breaks on is

38
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:17,199
a stalled source of outreach. Rolling through your travels, tapping

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,800
on the breaks can still be a lot slower than

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,400
what it should be. What would happen if you just

41
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:27,719
let yourself go to feel the breeze? Of life in

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:34,960
forward motion. Let yourself go. You've got so much going

43
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,319
on in your life that is stalling your personal growth.

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,319
But you don't give yourself the permission required in order

45
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,879
to take what you know and give yourself something. We're

46
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,000
always giving it to other people. That's what a job is.

47
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,120
You are hired to do something for a business, and

48
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,800
the business provides you with money so that you can survive.

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,520
But where are you growing? How can you grow even

50
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:06,759
further to find those things that bring you enjoyment. We've

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,599
jumped into the VR world. We got the metaquest too,

52
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,439
and we've learned how to link everything together. And last

53
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840
night we were in two different bowling alleys and we

54
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,680
also played some pickleball, but we didn't leave our living room.

55
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:25,680
See that, to me is a solid life. Why didn't

56
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,680
we go to a pickleball court and physically use our mind,

57
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:32,439
body and soul. Why didn't we go to a real

58
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,199
bowling alley, drink a few beers, have some really bad

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,319
French fries, and just laugh out loud with a community.

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,159
This is who we've become. We are growing into these

61
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:45,919
plastic candy coated bathroom mere smiled lifestyles where all we

62
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,039
have to do is put on the goggles and we

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,919
can go anywhere we want and when it's over, you

64
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,280
can leave that world behind. But in real life it

65
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:00,560
doesn't work that way. What if life was like the

66
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:05,439
TV show Scrubs, not the physical storylines, but rather life

67
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:08,479
being a series of short scenes. And isn't that what

68
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,439
we're doing with these VR games? Take the time to

69
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,120
find out who you are. Yes, it's going to take work,

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,040
because it's taken a lot of work to put you

71
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,639
where you are right now. It didn't just happen. You've

72
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:24,759
been through a lot of storms. You've been through a

73
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:27,560
lot of great times. And guess what life on the

74
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,240
other side of right now could be challenging. I'm Eryl

75
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,800
and that's the daily mess.
