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

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,559
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:09,160
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow

4
00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:12,880
unplugged stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is

5
00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:15,960
in your present place of what is right now now.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,920
To get there requires practice. I do one sheet of

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,559
paper a day, ten minutes write whatever is moving through

8
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:26,960
your presence of right now, with absolutely no judgment. Stream

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,239
thinking sharpens your skills as a listener, as a communicator,

10
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:34,280
and as an activator. It's learning how to trust your

11
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,840
right now. This is stream thinking today. We're reading from

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,280
April fifteenth, twenty twenty three. The subject at hand is

13
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:46,039
having the ability, but no vision or inspiration to use

14
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,600
the tools to gain access to a different level of

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,119
the performance. There are so many ways to look at this.

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,960
I'm a guy of radio forty four years. I know

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,000
a great speaking voice when I hear it. That's my ability.

18
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:03,079
But can that person use it as a tool to

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,560
open newer levels of their skills. It's a transparent question.

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,159
If you could go back and talk with department heads

21
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,239
and decision makers about your workday performances, could your heart

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,680
handle the real reasons why you kept your job. Who

23
00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:22,760
we think we are almost never matches what others have

24
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,799
interest in. Just because I write every day, that doesn't

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,159
make me an author. I podcast in a world where

26
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:32,840
anybody can do this. So I have to ask you,

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,840
what is your real skill? What is that skill that's

28
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:40,680
keeping you employed? What if it's not what you think?

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,359
Julia Cameron in the artist way, she challenges those that

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,079
have studied her word to sit down with a piece

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,120
of paper and write out ten things that you would

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,680
love to do in life. And after you write down

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,159
those ten things, study it see what your points of

34
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,120
interest really are. And it will shock you because what

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,000
you're doing with your profession versus what you enjoy in

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,760
life are very far apart. That's when you have to

37
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:10,000
start working with yourself in order to get into those

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,919
areas where you can have joy every day and not

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,319
be sitting in a cubicle complaining about your boss my

40
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:20,199
skills as a radio professional. I wasn't a professional DJ.

41
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,599
I didn't want to sound like a DJ. I always

42
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:25,520
wanted to be that guy that put a thought out

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,319
there for you to hold on to, to maybe grow with,

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,439
or to start your own conversation with That's the kind

45
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:34,199
of air talent that I was. But I wasn't going

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,759
to be that guy that was going to splice and

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,800
dice and try to be really super funny on the air,

48
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:40,879
because trust me, I'm not a funny guy. So then

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,879
I had to sit down and I did that that

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,199
little thing from Julia Cameron, and I noticed, Okay, so

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,560
you like to share things, but what am I doing

52
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,719
in order to build a path toward something an outreach

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,599
type program where I can physically share things. It became

54
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,360
a journey. It opened up my eyes. I had to

55
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:04,199
find that strength, that inner core of strength, and I

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360
found it in martial arts. Is not always about kicking

57
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,960
and hitting. It is a walk, It is a way.

58
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,919
It is learning how to put yourself in places that

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,520
you have the strength to recover from because we're all

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000
going to fall, We're all going to make mistakes, and

61
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:21,199
we have to learn how to pick ourselves up and

62
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:24,080
stand up in the wind. So I ask you, what

63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,120
is that one thing that you know you have but

64
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,319
you're not using it? And the question after that would

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,439
be why now? When can we start? I'm maryl and

66
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:37,879
that's stream thinking
