Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes,
so turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Here's an interesting thought. If everywhere we go is another
opportunity to grow, what becomes the most important tools for
us to use. So many of us complain endlessly when
our computers and smartphones need updates. I'm pretty sure humans
move through the same adjustments. The only difference we aren't electronic,
and that means something physical is happening or it's set
to be played out along your journey. It's not wrong
to begin a new day closing off your mental mechanism
that allows you to have new tools. But I do wonder, though,
which ones do we tend to set aside, which might
push us totally away from where our destination should have been.
I write every day to keep notes, to not always
locate great ideas, but to plant seeds that may one
day become fruit. Hey, serol, this is the daily Mess,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am that
daily writer. I am a silent wolf. I sit beneath
the brush of a tree and I watch life. I
observe the animals, the curve of the wind. I watch
other people, I listen to conversations. There is so much
to learn, and like I said, which one of these
tools will become the ones that we need in our
present day of life? This is the daily mess, this
thing called life. What if life was like the TV
show Scrubs, not the physical storyline, but rather life being
a series of very short scenes, some that pop with
laughter and others being pretty darn serious, but only for
about ten or twelve seconds, and then we're back to normal.
A full day then would only be what twenty minutes long?
That wouldn't be a warm garden to plant dreams and ambitions.
Although we struggle with working ten hour days, driving for
several days, or dreadfully sitting in a dentist chair, make
the most of the required experience puts breaks on what
feels like a scrub storyline one two three, next, one
two three, next again. Growing with your breaks on is
a stalled source of outreach. Rolling through your travels, tapping
on the breaks can still be a lot slower than
what it should be. What would happen if you just
let yourself go to feel the breeze? Of life in
forward motion. Let yourself go. You've got so much going
on in your life that is stalling your personal growth.
But you don't give yourself the permission required in order
to take what you know and give yourself something. We're
always giving it to other people. That's what a job is.
You are hired to do something for a business, and
the business provides you with money so that you can survive.
But where are you growing? How can you grow even
further to find those things that bring you enjoyment. We've
jumped into the VR world. We got the metaquest too,
and we've learned how to link everything together. And last
night we were in two different bowling alleys and we
also played some pickleball, but we didn't leave our living room.
See that, to me is a solid life. Why didn't
we go to a pickleball court and physically use our mind,
body and soul. Why didn't we go to a real
bowling alley, drink a few beers, have some really bad
French fries, and just laugh out loud with a community.
This is who we've become. We are growing into these
plastic candy coated bathroom mere smiled lifestyles where all we
have to do is put on the goggles and we
can go anywhere we want and when it's over, you
can leave that world behind. But in real life it
doesn't work that way. What if life was like the
TV show Scrubs, not the physical storylines, but rather life
being a series of short scenes. And isn't that what
we're doing with these VR games? Take the time to
find out who you are. Yes, it's going to take work,
because it's taken a lot of work to put you
where you are right now. It didn't just happen. You've
been through a lot of storms. You've been through a
lot of great times. And guess what life on the
other side of right now could be challenging. I'm Eryl
and that's the daily mess.
