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. Wow,
here we are and here we go. We've entered the
realms of what is going to become the summer of
twenty twenty three. You know, by the time you read
or listen to this, what time is it really going
to be. I'm blessed with the opportunity to talk with
a lot of huge names in music, and we speak
a lot about how we embrace what is not now
because what they create, when it lands on someone else's path,
it can never be predicted. Nobody really knows where the
art form is going to reshape itself. This is the
exact opposite of my thirty six years in terrestrial radio.
Our mission was to be very much in touch and
up to date with listeners on their own time, whereas streaming,
television and or other means of entertainment today aren't expected
to be top of the line right here, right now.
But as movies have proven, timeless is an ava of connection.
So here we go. Wherever you are, make it your
very best, and do it your way, make it your day,
and then learn how to share it. Hey, Serrol, this
is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world.
I am a daily writer. I think about time all
the time, and it's not because it's something that you
can easily rhyme with. It's something you've got to learn
to walk with and understand that what you're doing with
your time right now maybe somebody else's time several years
from now. So to find yourself in that place where
you're challenging time and you're allowing it to beat you up.
The person that receives what it is that you've sent
out will have no idea how your time was spent.
This is the daily Mess. I was asked the other
day what the difference is between religion and spiritual a
sixteen year old kid. He actually brought this up to me.
Religion is a specific set of organized beliefs shared by
a community and org group, whereas spirituality is individualized, having
a lot to do with a sense of peace and purpose.
Spirituality is about developing your beliefs around the meaning of
life and or a true connection with others. Now Leo's
response after I shared that with him, he says, I'm
feeling something, but I don't know how to deal with it,
to which I replied, dude, it's a new step for you. You're
supposed to ask questions and you're going to for the
rest of your life. This is your choice, This is
the power of choice. Whatever path you choose will be
a great place for study. I mean, there's a lot
of notes that need to be taken. Grab your writing
instrument and start taking notes. His response was, I just
don't want to be judged by others. And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I've got a story for you on that. You're going
to lose a lot of friends because of what you
see and or believe, and you're going to find yourself
in places and positions where you don't agree with those
that you think are your friends. They're making decisions that
don't agree with where you are in life. And yes,
there could be a little crack in the concrete with
your relationship with them, but don't let it stop you
from who you want to be and who you need
to be. And that choice can't be theirs, it's yours.
It's like when somebody chooses to lose weight, it's their choice,
their determination. Their loyalty and their vision to see themselves
in a different mindset and body. But sadly, after talking
to all of these experts on my podcast, Sadly, when
you see yourself in that place that you tried so
hard to get to, those that were standing next to
you usually aren't there. You walk that path alone. But
you want to get back to your friends. Well, what
are your friends eating? What are your friends doing wrong?
Are you going to choose to get back in that
circle again, because you know what's going to happen. Usually
you're going to gain more weight than you lost. The
same is true about religion and spirituality. I believe deeply
in both of them, and I believe that hand in
hand they go together. The more religious you become, the
more spiritual you may be. You may be because if
you're not activating your spirituality and creating your own sense
of beliefs, then what you're doing is you're just going
to listen to words. Religion is a beautiful thing. Go
hear the verses, Go see how it's changing other people's lives,
and then ask the question, if somebody there has been changed,
figure out what their spiritual journey is. One of the
greatest things about being at Elevation is the fact that
Pastor Fredick has always said, how is God moving through you?
That to me gave me permission, permission to be spiritual,
to have my own interpretation. How is God moving through you?
Look it up, man, go do some research about how
you're feeling on the inside. Just don't walk away from it.
It's a choice. I'm Marrow and that's the daily mess.
