Arroe Unplugged Page Two Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Three The Daily Mess

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is Arrow unplugged.
I like asking questions, and the reason why is because
the fund begins when you start doing the research for
answers such as, can people of religion and spirituality lean
too much on their great Creator and or God? Plus

(00:21):
writing instruments, you know, pins? Do writers and authors retire
their tools that put words on a page? My name
is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That
means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I call it the daily mess, a chronological
walk through in everyday world. Yep, it's my morning pages.
As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people

(00:42):
tend to throw things to the side and deal with
it later. Yeah, how's that working out for you? When
a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's time
to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but
by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is
the daily mess. Can people lean too much on God?
You know? To overdo their spiritual welcome? This isn't negative.

(01:05):
Research shows there are some people who put so much
intention into their Bible studies that they physically cut themselves
off from important tasks such as personal relationships, godly investments,
and yes, even prayer. Bible studies become their idle. Ecclesiastes
twelve clearly states that excessive devotion to books makes the

(01:27):
body weary. Added to the bugging down is the mind
and spirit. The danger is located in the constant consumption
of information and never allowing anything to change life. It's
composed of six key elements beliefs, values, priorities, behaviors, habits,
and character. Beliefs and values are a beautiful thing, but

(01:50):
if the priorities are the dominant decision, then behaviors, habits,
and character walk away from their personal needs. As one
author puts it, the problem with people isn't spending too
much time in the big book. It's not spending enough time. Hey,
coming up next, do authors and writers retire their writing instruments? Hey?

(02:13):
Thanks for coming back to the Daily Mess? Do authors
and writers retire their writing instruments? Now? For you, it
probably sounds kind of weird asking a question like that,
because you might be one who just picks up a
pen to jot down a note on any sheet of
paper that's available. Being a daily writer for thirty one years,
I'm very open with friends and family about I will
not say the word pen, pe in, I won't use

(02:35):
a pin. I'm one hundred percent about calling them writing instruments,
and I'm not alone when it comes to retiring them,
only because I have a great time collecting them. Each
has a personality of their own. The instrument I'm using
today has been retrieved from retirement twenty five years old.
How do I know this because I used to use

(02:56):
it while painting on paper and canvas. The paint stains
are still on this writing instrument. I stopped painting at
the beginning of the millennium. It came out of retirement
due to reconnecting with these amazing tools. It reignites the
imagination while generating new memories and adventures. But not all
authors retire their writing instruments. One guy says, hey, look

(03:18):
the weight of the wear and tear. It gives that
writing instrument several seasons of writing. I'm Meryl, and that's
the daily mess
