1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. We all have to have it,

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,759
whether we produce it ourselves, or we're on Amazon and

3
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:11,919
we're buying other people's creativity, or we're stealing it. Oh yeah,

4
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:14,519
on YouTube. All of that incredible music. I remember I

5
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:16,640
had to buy that music, or I had to wait

6
00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:19,879
for terrestrial radio to play those songs. Nowadays, it's like

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,719
it's mine unplugged because we will always say yes to creativity,

8
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:26,320
totally uncut, because we all make mistakes, so turn it

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,480
into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. I guess maybe

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,000
I was a frustrated kid because I thought that I

11
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:34,039
lived with the meanest parents on the face of the planet.

12
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:36,799
I really did, because I was constantly getting in trouble.

13
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:40,960
But in looking back, I think I caused that trouble

14
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:42,960
and all they were trying to do was protect me.

15
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:45,479
So at the age that I am today, I sit

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,719
here and I wonder if I was misbehaving, if I

17
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:52,119
was the one that put into play something that really

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,880
wasn't right, that didn't agree with my parents. Maybe it

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,200
was to get their attention because I was one of

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,159
eight children. You do stuff like that. But the thing

21
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:03,280
that gets inside my heart today, since both of my

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,200
parents are gone. Is I love how their words are

23
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,760
becoming a part of my words. And when you talk

24
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:14,120
about a word like behave, oh, that's my mother all

25
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:16,239
the way, because I can still hear my mother saying

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,840
that behave, behave, and she would really drive that message home.

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,640
But did we listen. No, I was that kid that

28
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:26,840
wanted to get in trouble just so I could get

29
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:29,560
some attention. Hey, it's arrow, this is the choice. This

30
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:31,079
is what I was writing while the sun was waking

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,879
up on a brilliant new day. And today we're reading

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,239
from March thirty first, twenty twenty three. In my morning

33
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,159
prayers this morning, I did use that term that clearly

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,120
seems pretty old fashioned. We need to behave now. The

35
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:51,359
definition is to act or conduct oneself in a specified way,

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,200
especially to others. Therefore, there has to be a goal, right, well,

37
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:58,040
it is. There's a goal to develop good habits which

38
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:02,879
improve physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing of a person.

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Personally speaking, Behaving doesn't get you in the headlines. You've

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,280
seen it happen. Look at that every magazine cover at

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,800
a grocery store. Go to your social media connections. How

42
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,759
many people there are really behaving thanks to social media

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,120
and trash magazines. Before that, bad behavior got your name

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,639
in front of people. The running joke was just make

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,400
sure they spell your name right. If someone truly knew

46
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:35,840
how to win the lottery and promise to never abuse

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,159
the way to victory lane, how long would it take

48
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:44,159
for them to misbehave? Look at how many people have

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,439
physically showcased bad behavior only to deny it in the headlines.

50
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:55,199
Can we just behave? We all want to be that

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,479
bad guy, that bad girl, someone who's a little bit

52
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:02,439
rougher on the inside than they are on the outside

53
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:06,439
to hang out with the cool people. Even Phonsie on

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,159
happy Days? Did he really behave? If they would have

55
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,120
made him a really super nice guy like Richie Cunningham,

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,039
would we have attached ourselves to the bad guy? There

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,680
are so many people who take a chance on bad

58
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,560
behavior in hopes that it will get them in front

59
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:30,520
of others. Doctor David once said to me, your problem

60
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,039
isn't depression. Your problem is you've got an addiction to excitement.

61
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,240
You want to be on that cliff every moment of

62
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:42,960
every day, and you want to jump. That's where we

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,759
need to start. We need to figure out what's putting

64
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,879
you on that cliff. It was in that moment that

65
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,680
I decided, you know, maybe it is time to start

66
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:55,759
keeping a journal because I don't know the map to

67
00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:58,719
the cliff. I don't know how I got there or

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,879
why I got there, because I was long gone away

69
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:06,120
from my parents. It wasn't about getting attention anymore. Maybe

70
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:09,680
it was about just getting ratings on the radio. Do

71
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,680
something so people will talk about you. Wasn't it Roseannebarr

72
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:17,480
and Tom Arnold who said, Rosie, we got to get

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,519
out there in the public eye. When you go out

74
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,240
there to sing the national anthem, do it in a

75
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,800
way that will make people talk. Kind of backfired on her.

76
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,439
But you know what, she got a lot of headlines

77
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,279
for bad behavior? Or was it bad behavior? Was it?

78
00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:37,879
What constitutes that? Again? The definition according to dictionary dot com,

79
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:42,000
it's an act or it's the way we conduct ourselves

80
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,680
in a specified way, especially to others. The goal is

81
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,720
to develop good habits which improve physical, mental, spiritual, and

82
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,560
social wellbeing of a person. Are you practicing good behavior?

83
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,519
What about when you jump into church on Sunday you're

84
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,680
doing good? You feel good? Because it says spiritual? How

85
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,079
long does that last for you? Guys will always be guys,

86
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:11,399
and we're learning that girls will also be girls. I

87
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,439
don't know which one is misbehaving more, but I'd love

88
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,040
to see some research on who is gaining more access

89
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,040
to the headlines for bad behavior. Watching yourself. That was

90
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,319
another term my mom used to say, you better watch yourself.

91
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,319
You better watch yourself. Becoming aware of what you do

92
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:34,639
is one thing when you compare it to what you

93
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:38,079
do do and what you have done is the other thing.

94
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,879
I can watch myself all day, but that doesn't mean

95
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:45,680
I'm going to behave I'm Eryl And that's what I

96
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,399
was writing while the sun was waking up on a

97
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:48,600
brilliant new day.
