Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. I put a lot of inflection
on that because I want you to hear it. I
want to plant it inside of you so that you
understand why you go through so many mood swings and transitions.
Our mindsets are becoming corrupt and they're becoming interrupted because
we won't allow the creativity that we were born to
bring forward out. We won't let it out 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. I don't even want to look
at my Google calendar. It's always covered with just multiple
layers of colors. I have to colorize it otherwise this
event will get mixed up with this event will get
mixed up with this event. So I've got to put
in there many many colors to say, oh my god,
I've got to beware at what time? And why? Oh
why did I say yes? Have you been there? Are
you living that lifestyle? Now? We just keep saying yes,
and before the event takes place, we're going why didn't
I say no? That almost sounded like a Jerry Seinfeld.
Why don't we just say no? Why don't we because
we feel like we're going to miss out on something,
and it's something that we've carried forward from our childhood
and now that we live in this world where we
think we have everything, we want more of everything, and
it's learning to say no that is going to interrupt
and corrupt your heart. Hey, Sarah, this is the Daily Mess,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a
daily writer. I love to put thoughts on pages because
from those thoughts things will grow. The several different seasons
that we all move through leave little breadcrumbs on the
life that we just lived. I'm not living in the past.
This is about the present. How did we get here?
Oh it's written, I have no question about it. It's
the future that we've got to get into. This is
the Daily Mess. Always a busy day. I don't understand
why it has to be this way. Stack up the events,
do them one at a time, and then meet back
here just in time to get more rest. How could
we ever think about retiring? Really, seriously, we're all so
damn busy. How can we think about Well, I'm gonna stop,
it's over. We have this beautiful RV that needs to
be used it was supposed to be this past week.
Uh uh uh huh. Our job's got in the way.
I've never seen the expectations so thick than what we
just experienced this past week because we said yes to
them and know to us, Oh no, how dare you
say no? Well, that's who we are as a generation.
Our jobs rule us. They're out of control. And what
these business leaders need to do is they need to understand, dude,
you're putting in too much time. I realize i'm your
company leader, but I also have a personal investment in
this because for you to remain strong in my company,
which needs to be strong, I need you to rest.
But bosses aren't built like that anymore. They're not. They
want to give you more work, they want you to
put in more hours. I've gotten to the point where
I totally respect whatever space I can get. If I'm
going to get ten minutes with my wife, no writing,
no TV, no music, I want all ten minutes with
my wife. People ask me how my wife is doing
all the time. Do you know what my reply is,
you've probably done it too. I guess she's okay. That's
not an answer because that doesn't tell the person who
asked the question, who had the compassion and understanding of
your lifestyle and lack of rest. They're asking a question,
how is your wife doing? I guess she's okay. We're
not the only family that lives like this. I know
a lot of people that are doing three to five
part time jobs and they're living with two or three
families under one roof. Mom and dad never talked about this.
They never did. They said the times were hard when
they were coming up, but they didn't say that they
worked three to five jobs, nor did they say that
they were living with other people. We've got to get
into a daily discipline to set ourselves free, get the
job scene under human control. I just have too much
to do. We got to stop saying that. Stop. Did
it work? Did you stop? All right, We're gonna work
on it right stop. How about now? Did that work? Hi? MARYL.
And that's the daily mess.
