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 hates arrow.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
And this is vocal D freg vocal d frag And
it's taking the time to ask yourself the questions and
then question the answers. It's not a pity party. It's
not you taking over you. It's basically having a great
relationship with everything that is you. We tend to forget
that there's an inner person or an inner child, as
Juliet Cameron would say, that's always striving to give you
greater steps. But we choose on the outside to kind

(00:35):
of foil things up a bit because we think it
should go this way. We think we're in control of
how it's going to end. We want to quit, but
we can't quit, but we keep running. And what are
we running to? I don't know. I'll tell you tomorrow,
then tomorrow never really gets here. So taking the time
to get to know who you are is a very
important step toward inner peace. This is vocal D freg.

(00:55):
Kind of a tough subject today because I don't want
to identify a certain side is what I don't want
to do. But I just want to just say one
thing and then you can develop your own kind of
path on this. You knew what it was when you
picked it up. That's the subject. You knew what it
was when you picked it up. That's been used on me.
Oh yeah, during a dark time in my own personal life,

(01:17):
my wife looked at me and said, you know, I
shouldn't be shocked. I knew what you were when I
picked you up. And that's the way a lot of
things are in our lives is that when we take
challenges and we turn them into physical movement, we know
what it is when we pick it up. And there's
many times that we know what could happen when we

(01:38):
do pick it up. But the thing is, though, is
that we allow the other side, the dark side, maybe
to take over because we don't give it our one
hundred percent because it isn't playing out the way that
it's supposed to play out. But we knew what it
was when we picked it up. What would happen if
while we are picking something up we had a positive thought,

(02:01):
we put ourselves in a position of working things out
before things break out. Basically meaning breaking up, breaking apart,
breaking in general, and in those broken pieces we are
either stuck trying to put them back together, which may
never happen, because if you break a vase and there's

(02:22):
a piece missing, someone is always going to see that
broken vase. Their eyes are going to automatically be drawn
to it. But you knew what it was when you
picked it up. I don't know how many times I
jumped off our garage into a freshly roted, tiled backyard
because I enjoyed the spirit of flight, and then one
day I got injured. I knew what it was when

(02:45):
I picked it up. See, people in our lives, we
add leaders to our lives, and we think that we're
going to have a greater time totally forgetting where we've
been before. We knew what it was when we picked
it up. And then when things start to unravel in
the presence of everything right now, we sit there and
go but but but but but but and you just
want to say, hey, you knew what it was when

(03:07):
you picked it up. So how do we become wiser
with these choices when it comes to picking things up? Well,
maybe we shouldn't just instantly jump into an idea. I mean,
I'm very guilty of getting on Amazon and just buying
whatever because I need that rush, that feel good for
the moment. But the thing is, though, is that when
I get it, then it's not really what I thought

(03:27):
it was going to be. I either send it back
or I say, you know what, dude, you knew what
it was when you picked it up. Go ahead and
don't script somebody else's life, their business world because you
chose to make a bad decision. We do it every day,
each and every one of us. So that's one reason
why defragging is so important, because you should ask yourself
the questions, what should I do in this situation if

(03:51):
this should unravel this way, So you're already aware of
the if part of the journey, and you can't hold
it against yourself if you go ahead and pick it up,
because IF is always going to be knocking on your heart,
and when IF does knock on your heart, you've got
to be able to be satisfied with the repercussions because
you already faced your IF before you made what it
was that you picked up. You see what I mean,

(04:13):
asking yourself the question and then questioning the answers when
I take these walks through this forest in South Charlotte,
I'm out here to listen to not only my heart,
but I'm here to listen to the universe, because the
universe is always going to put something in your way
to see how strong you are on your way. And
so when we do face those challenges and we pick

(04:35):
up little weapons of self destruction, what happens is is
that we know what it was when we picked it up,
and if we do something with it, you know the
story already. You knew what it was when you picked
it up. So that's my question for you today. What's
in your life right now that you truly have the
strength to face You knew what it was when you
picked it up, and it has become such a huge

(04:57):
weight on your soul, and the goal would be to
figure out a way to get up around it, beneath it,
maybe even through it. Wouldn't that be great to have
that kind of strength. There's one lesson I learned in
martial arts, and that was you can take a mountain down.
One way you can do it is you can blow
it up, or you can walk to the top and
bring it down one rock at a time, and sobbing him.

(05:19):
He was that guy. Whatever you've got going on, whatever
you've picked up, and you knew what it was, and
it's in the way. You got to take it down,
one rock at a time. Ask yourself the questions, question
the answers. I call it vocal defragging. I do it
in a journal and I do it on a digital device.
