Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's all about making a connection. Erro dot net a
r r oe dot net. I am a podcast listener
that just happens to have a podcast. So when I
go searching for things that I want to be entertained by,
I want to have the power of choice. Oh you do.
On ero dot net. There are seventeen podcasts to choose
from a r oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. This
(00:24):
one's gonna be a little heavy today. I'm telling you it.
It came to me when I least expected it. But
because I'm a daily writer and I trust in the
process of bringing words forward, whatever you feel in your
moment of all things right now, put it on a
page and grow with it. And that's what's happening here.
And I probably will lose you because there are many
(00:45):
times that I've sat here in this research and thought
to myself, way over my head, way over my head.
I'm always asking questions. The fun begins when you start
researching for answers such as how important is it to reflect?
Is it breaking the rules of trying to live in
this thing we call the present? The right now? Plus
(01:07):
is there an art to picking up life's every day
broken pieces? My name is erro. I'm a daily writer,
a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do
nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to
call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an
everyday world. Yeah, it is my morning writing as a
(01:28):
receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to
throw things to the side because we think we're gonna
deal with it later on. The hell is what I
thought this morning. This one is not getting away. Once again,
I warn you it's gonna be heavy. When a subject
arrives inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.
(01:49):
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily Mess. How
important is it to reflect? Because I have a seriously
out of control problem when it comes to that subject.
Reflect because I believe it's living in the past. And
(02:11):
is it breaking the rules of living in the past,
you know, being in the now. Mental health experts did
not hide behind a stone to put on display why
reflecting is very important in your life, and no, it
does not break the rules surrounding a life of living
(02:31):
in the present. Here's a very important lesson that I
want you to tuck away inside your heart. There is
a huge difference between being present versus having a presence.
I gotta say that again. There is a huge difference
between being present versus having a presence. A presence is
(02:54):
about where your attention lives, not what time period you
live in or what time period you're thinking about. Presence
versus present. I'm here, you're here. This is your presence
of now. But is it your act of being present? Oh?
Everything has to be twenty twenty six. That's the way
(03:15):
I'm thinking, because I do everything to stay in the present,
and when I came across this, for the love of God,
I was wrong, one hundred percent wrong. I'm the one
that's violating the rules. If I don't want to flash
back to nineteen ninety three, not to live it, but
to reflect on it, I am denying myself access to
(03:38):
the presence of something that could be a learning tool.
A healthy reflection takes place in the present you are
thinking about something, not reliving it. Reflection can easily pull
you out of your presence. It can lead to rumination.
Oh god, it took that long to get to that word. Rumination,
(04:02):
the same loop with no insight. How many people do
you know that live in rumination, including yourself? So you
gotta ask yourself, am I adding an understanding? Or am
I adding more weights to this thing called my present
place of now? This is my presence. Coming up next
(04:29):
the quote that fell from my writing instrument. I never
know what's going to end up on a page when
I begin. Hey, welcome back to the daily mess. This
quote fell from my writing instrument this morning. The name
of that writing instrument Mama White, which is in honor
of my white, beautiful dove that was with me for
(04:50):
nearly twenty years. Mama White. Okay, this is what happened
when I put ink on the nib of this writing instrument.
These are the words. The best way to to pick
up the pieces is to stop grinding the glass back
into sand. The best way to pick up the pieces
is to stop grinding the glass back into sand. I
(05:14):
had to instantly chat gpt this, What does it mean?
How can I apply this? The goal or the ambition
is to stop rehashing or re injuring yourself with the
same pain. Then it gets really deep. You don't gather
what's left by rubbing the damage deeper. Oh God, you
(05:39):
don't gather what's left. By rubbing the damage deeper, you
gather it by stopping the harm. The best way to
pick up the pieces is to stop grinding the glass
back into sand. It takes us right to the present
place of now, and right here is where we're facing
(06:02):
the difference. But yet the similarity of presents and being present.
If stuck in all things literally right now, that is present,
but without reflection, your presence in the story is staying.
Because what is required is for you to stop grinding
the glass into sand. My daily writing is a very
(06:26):
good example of that. If I don't go back one year,
or twenty five years, or all thirty three years of
my daily writing to reflect, then these pages right here
are absolutely worthless. Reflection helps you. Rumination is what harms you,
and that's the barrier that you've got to face. You've
(06:48):
got to be able to look at that chariot and say,
you our rumination. I keep living the same story over
and over and over again. I am not in the present. Well,
if you identify yourself, you are. But if you're not
going to do something about it, then your presence begins
(07:10):
to fade. The best way to pick up the pieces
is to stop grinding the glass back into sand. I'm arrow,
and that's the daily mess.
