1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,879
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,679
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,400
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:14,400
It's probably because they're wearing earbuds, but I'm still amazed

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,559
at how many people look like they're getting lost in

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,559
a thought place in themselves, in an area of their

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,679
mental travels and ability, so that we don't have to

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,839
deal with the modern society and all that is unfolding

9
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:32,520
and basically just breaking. But you can walk through with Starbucks,

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,960
a grocery store, you can beat a movie theater. No

11
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:38,119
matter where you travel, you're gonna see these people in thought.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,399
Once again. It could be because they've got earbuds on and

13
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:43,759
they're lost in that song or in that message that's

14
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:48,240
being shared. But it's still a ticket to ride, a

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,679
place to escape to and from. Heyszarow. This is the choice.

16
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,079
This is what I was writing while the sun was

17
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:57,280
waking up on a brilliant new day. Are we living

18
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:00,640
too much into the future? I mean, is it even

19
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:05,319
possible guess what the answer is? Yes, But first we

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,159
have to identify with why so many of us plan

21
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:12,879
out dream about and think a lot about the future,

22
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:16,959
to break free of what is now, the monotony and

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,280
the mundane of now, where it feels like nothing is

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,439
going our way or the headlines are way too large

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,239
to digest? Why would anyone want to stay here in

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,640
the presence of now? The future is an emotional target

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,439
that gives a lot of people a purpose that's in

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,920
itself helps mental travelers manage their own personal frustrations. What

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,519
gets you frustrated and what gets me frustrated two completely

30
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,959
different paths you might be inspired by, and I'm going

31
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:56,000
are you kidding me? How? Why not to be a

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,359
debbie downer? I get the reasons why so many people

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,560
like to invest in something that is completely one hundred

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,079
percent invisible, But the time and emotions spent to keep

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:13,000
going forward eventually plays hard on the head and heart.

36
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:21,159
No matter what is happening now, this is real. Now,

37
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:25,840
I'm going to be transparent with you. In the nineteen eighties,

38
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:30,400
my first marriage, I was just eighteen years old. My

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,439
wife had a visionary situation. And what I mean by

40
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:37,960
that is is that if she was thinking it, then

41
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,120
it was reality. She was always planning, talking about and

42
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,520
getting herself ready for a future that wasn't even born yet.

43
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,319
She spent so much time in that future that she

44
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:55,479
was a very angry person at the age of seventeen

45
00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:00,840
because her life didn't match what she saw in the future,

46
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,120
and the question for her wasn't how am I going

47
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:08,360
to get there? Her question was why aren't you taking

48
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,319
me there? Can you relate with this? When you step

49
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,759
into the future and let go of what is now?

50
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,479
Do you blame others for you not being what your

51
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,319
imagination is offering, Because that's a place where we need

52
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,719
to have a conversation, because your reality and my reality,

53
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,439
once again two separate things. What you see in your

54
00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:35,520
long term vision has nothing to do with me, But

55
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,680
in those early years of being married in the nineteen eighties,

56
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,360
it had everything to do with me, because it was

57
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,639
my fault that we could not get there. And when

58
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,680
we would sit down and try to work it out,

59
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:51,360
to break it down, to help understand where she was

60
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:55,120
thinking and why there were such patterns, the journey became

61
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:59,639
even tougher than either one of us ever expected. But yes,

62
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,800
we are living too much in the future because we

63
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,319
want to escape this place called now. I don't want

64
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:08,199
to say, well, just look around you, look around you.

65
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,159
There's other things to look at outside of Google, CNN

66
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:16,120
or some sort of war story in other countries. I understand,

67
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,319
and I have the compassion for those that are living it.

68
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,160
But in your own personal place of now, it is

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,160
not selfish to want to share your personal experiences. I

70
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,480
just had a conversation with five time world boxing champion

71
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:36,160
Andre Ward, and he speaks the same street. He understands

72
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:39,000
that what he's gone through in his life, yes he

73
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,759
had to plan for future fights, Yes he had to

74
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,000
plan for all of these ways to recover and to replenish.

75
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:51,079
But now he's saying, I have this as an experienced trip,

76
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:55,360
and if I don't share my personal journeys and how

77
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,360
I got through the mountain, over the mountain, around the mountain,

78
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,600
then that is the act of selfishness. It's something to

79
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:06,519
work on on a daily basis, understanding how far you

80
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:09,519
truly want to travel when you're thinking about the future,

81
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680
because once again, to get back there over and over

82
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,079
and over again is going to tire your mind and

83
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,680
your heart. I'm arrow, and that's what I was writing

84
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,720
while the sun was waking up on a brilliant new

85
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,040
day
