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 stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what's in
your present. It's going to require some practice. Just one
sheet of paper every day ten minutes write about whatever
is moving through your moment of what is right now,
(00:22):
Absolutely no judgment. You see. Stream thinking sharpens your skills
as a listener, as a communicator, and as an activator.
Learning how to trust what is right now. This is
stream thinking today. We're reading from April first, twenty twenty three.
Has fitting in become the new uncool thing to do?
(00:42):
To fit in at work means working well and communicating
with others, keeping a positive attitude. It's very essential. Fitting
in at work is expected because we tend to give
more when we're being cooperative with each other. If you
don't feel like that you fit in the the experts
they're saying, hey, it's probably a good idea that you
(01:03):
locate a new place of employment. The key tools are
having the willingness to observe then imitate, because it's very
easy to feel excluded at the job. While some may
say it's a lack of cultural skills, it can actually
go deeper a lack of confidence or being too shy,
And yes, employers can fire you for that. Ninety percent
(01:27):
of all people have someone on the staff that they
really don't like. You know what the professionals say, fake it,
get over it. It is a way of life. Do
you fit in? What do you do to make sure
that you do fit in? Fitting in doesn't mean that
you have to be the class clown or the class leader.
(01:49):
Fitting in means that you're going to participate. All leaders
have bosses above them. If they don't please those bosses,
then it's going to trickle down to you. And sometimes
it feels like those that are in show charge are
basically just bullies. What in fact, all they're trying to
do is to motivate you, participating with you by trying
to fit in a moment where you might be down
(02:10):
because things aren't going right. We don't know what's going
on on the inside of your head, just as much
as you don't know what's going on inside of me.
But when we fit into each other's day and we
begin to respect each other's paths. Things will begin to
grow because we begin to understand the truer personality. Fitting
in for me has required one thing, and that is
(02:33):
I know that I come from several different careers and
several different layers of jobs. So what I try to
do is that I sit with those that do want
to fit in, and I invite them into my outside world.
Just last night, I did a four hour lecture. I
invited a coworker from one of the essential jobs to
come and experience it. I asked him at the end,
(02:56):
what did you learn tonight? He learned. He learned that
I really do work one on one with trying to
get people's dreams to pop open and blossom. At the
other essential job, he doesn't get to see that because
there are so many people above me that I just
don't fit into that environment. But instead of fighting that environment,
(03:18):
I invite those there to come into my world. And
that's where we fit in together. So don't be a
bump on a log, don't be a judger, don't be
a taker, invite people into your space. Fitting in becomes
a part of the process. I'm arrow, and that's stream thinking.
