1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,320
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes,

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,160
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Wow,

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,640
here we are and here we go. We've entered the

5
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:15,599
realms of what is going to become the summer of

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,679
twenty twenty three. You know, by the time you read

7
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:21,039
or listen to this, what time is it really going

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,839
to be. I'm blessed with the opportunity to talk with

9
00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:26,280
a lot of huge names in music, and we speak

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,160
a lot about how we embrace what is not now

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,759
because what they create, when it lands on someone else's path,

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,000
it can never be predicted. Nobody really knows where the

13
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:40,560
art form is going to reshape itself. This is the

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,840
exact opposite of my thirty six years in terrestrial radio.

15
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:46,920
Our mission was to be very much in touch and

16
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:50,719
up to date with listeners on their own time, whereas streaming,

17
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:54,079
television and or other means of entertainment today aren't expected

18
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:56,240
to be top of the line right here, right now.

19
00:00:56,679 --> 00:01:01,039
But as movies have proven, timeless is an ava of connection.

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,359
So here we go. Wherever you are, make it your

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,280
very best, and do it your way, make it your day,

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,680
and then learn how to share it. Hey, Serrol, this

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,280
is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,239
I am a daily writer. I think about time all

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,000
the time, and it's not because it's something that you

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,879
can easily rhyme with. It's something you've got to learn

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,439
to walk with and understand that what you're doing with

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,040
your time right now maybe somebody else's time several years

29
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:35,879
from now. So to find yourself in that place where

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,680
you're challenging time and you're allowing it to beat you up.

31
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:41,439
The person that receives what it is that you've sent

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,560
out will have no idea how your time was spent.

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,439
This is the daily Mess. I was asked the other

34
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,760
day what the difference is between religion and spiritual a

35
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:54,040
sixteen year old kid. He actually brought this up to me.

36
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:58,920
Religion is a specific set of organized beliefs shared by

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,920
a community and org group, whereas spirituality is individualized, having

38
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:06,519
a lot to do with a sense of peace and purpose.

39
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:11,199
Spirituality is about developing your beliefs around the meaning of

40
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:15,560
life and or a true connection with others. Now Leo's

41
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:18,000
response after I shared that with him, he says, I'm

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,719
feeling something, but I don't know how to deal with it,

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,199
to which I replied, dude, it's a new step for you. You're

44
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:26,840
supposed to ask questions and you're going to for the

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,800
rest of your life. This is your choice, This is

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,800
the power of choice. Whatever path you choose will be

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,919
a great place for study. I mean, there's a lot

48
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,039
of notes that need to be taken. Grab your writing

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,319
instrument and start taking notes. His response was, I just

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,960
don't want to be judged by others. And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh,

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,000
I've got a story for you on that. You're going

52
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,199
to lose a lot of friends because of what you

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,879
see and or believe, and you're going to find yourself

54
00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:58,680
in places and positions where you don't agree with those

55
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,639
that you think are your friends. They're making decisions that

56
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,759
don't agree with where you are in life. And yes,

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
there could be a little crack in the concrete with

58
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:10,800
your relationship with them, but don't let it stop you

59
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:13,919
from who you want to be and who you need

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,080
to be. And that choice can't be theirs, it's yours.

61
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:22,199
It's like when somebody chooses to lose weight, it's their choice,

62
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:26,520
their determination. Their loyalty and their vision to see themselves

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,280
in a different mindset and body. But sadly, after talking

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,919
to all of these experts on my podcast, Sadly, when

65
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,479
you see yourself in that place that you tried so

66
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,840
hard to get to, those that were standing next to

67
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:44,120
you usually aren't there. You walk that path alone. But

68
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,199
you want to get back to your friends. Well, what

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,759
are your friends eating? What are your friends doing wrong?

70
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,039
Are you going to choose to get back in that

71
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,599
circle again, because you know what's going to happen. Usually

72
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,400
you're going to gain more weight than you lost. The

73
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:00,280
same is true about religion and spirituality. I believe deeply

74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,719
in both of them, and I believe that hand in

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,840
hand they go together. The more religious you become, the

76
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,960
more spiritual you may be. You may be because if

77
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,639
you're not activating your spirituality and creating your own sense

78
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,560
of beliefs, then what you're doing is you're just going

79
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,000
to listen to words. Religion is a beautiful thing. Go

80
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,480
hear the verses, Go see how it's changing other people's lives,

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,480
and then ask the question, if somebody there has been changed,

82
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,240
figure out what their spiritual journey is. One of the

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,959
greatest things about being at Elevation is the fact that

84
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:36,000
Pastor Fredick has always said, how is God moving through you?

85
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,439
That to me gave me permission, permission to be spiritual,

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,279
to have my own interpretation. How is God moving through you?

87
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:50,600
Look it up, man, go do some research about how

88
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:53,680
you're feeling on the inside. Just don't walk away from it.

89
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,759
It's a choice. I'm Marrow and that's the daily mess.
