  Speaker 1: who gets in the car or goes to work, I
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: want to hear something different every day. I don't want
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it to be the same twenty four hour newsreel. I
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: don't want it to be a talk with just somebody who, Hey,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I got a record out. You want to hear it.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It's got to be more than that. It's got to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: be something that affects us as listeners. Aro dot Net

  Speaker 1: Creativity is the addiction. If you're creative, you totally get it.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: If not, here's something to be aware of that might
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: be the reason why you're dipping. Creativity the addiction only
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on Arrow dot Net A r oe dot Net. Enjoy
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: your exploration when it's extremely difficult to make up your mind.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We've all been there. Well, having that power of choice
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: can actually weaken a person's heart. Oh, we've been there too.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: On this episode, we're going to explore our choice to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: be creative. Why does it have to be so frickin' lonely? Plus,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: why is that a loneeness? Why does it have to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: be a part of our creative process? My name is arrow.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Life is a series of choices. I mean, who decides
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: when you're not making the right choice? And is it
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a fear of going wrong? The greatest lessons in life
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: are often lost inside hidden away attempts and concepts. Well,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it's time to reopen your heart. Having this power of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: choice is actually your daily gift on this highway. It
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is time to learn how to trust a mirage? What
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is the choice? How about making the choice to be creative?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: But the only problem is why does it have to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: come in a situation of being so lonely? First and foremost,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it does not have to be a lonely walk, but
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of people do experience it for many different
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: reasons as well as seasons. Creativity naturally yngs people into
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a deep bout of inwardness. Creating something original doesn't come
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: with a script or, as I like to call it,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: show prep. While you receive your next art project, it's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: not being handed to you in full form. That's going
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to require some alone time to get a better grip
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on what the expectation is. And there's got to be
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a process to step into your progress. Should it or
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: should it not? Generate energy? It's not just a moment
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: with solitude, but creativity needs mental separation. Another reason why
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: artists and other creative souls feel this dull ache of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: loneliness is because you're often ahead of the outside crowd.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's completely natural if those around you don't get it,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: there's a gap, there's some isolation. Being one who creates
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: mentally and physically puts you in a position of vulnerability.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you real creativity exposes a big part of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: your personal life, your thoughts, your fears, and weird ideas.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Not everybody feels safe during this moment of experience with art.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: If you push it too hard, it might come back
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and bite you. Because you have to understand, creativity is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: really about a loneeness. Hey, coming up next on the choice,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: why does this a loneness have to travel with people
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of creativity? Hey, welcome back to the choice. Why does
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a loneeness usually travel with those making music, movies or
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a banker in but Montana? Because creativity has a structure issue.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Pretty much all things created don't come with a built
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in community. No coworkers, no daily feedback, no shared schedules.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You've got to build that monkey yourself. Rule Number one
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: loneliness isn't the price of creativity? Can I say that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: again please, because I want you to really hear them.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Rule number one, loneliness isn't the price of creativity. It's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a side effect with certain I mean, how many people
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: break their choices to do art and not to be lonely?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Get into a creative circle.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: All you need is somebody who understands where you stand.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to show off your unfinished work. It
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: reduces that feeling of being sealed off. Be aware of separating.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's not a connection. Many artists create in the morning
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and get very social at night. All right, here it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: comes Rule number two. Creative loneliness is actually a lack
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of response. You didn't just force people in. They came
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to you. And when you do, know that it doesn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and it won't kill your creativity. It actually strengthens you.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Once you've become creative, loneliness begins to fade. You've got
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to give it time to go through that motion. You'll
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: face questions about art and you're going to wonder, am
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I going to survive without this feeling of loneliness. You're
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: calling is to be more aware of not only your struggles,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: but the struggles around you. That is creativity. It leads
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to a northern set of lights that come with depth.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It is a choice. I'm MARYL and that's what I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was writing while the sun was waking up on a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: brilliant new day
