Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: How many times have you been in the car, you're
- 0:02Speaker 1: at a red light for just a brief moment, and
- 0:03Speaker 1: it wasn't enough time to switch podcasts? Because I am
- 0:07Speaker 1: a podcast listener. I know what it's like to be
- 0:09Speaker 1: so involved in a story. And then from out of nowhere,
- 0:11Speaker 1: it's like, I'm bored. I'm bored. I got to get
- 0:14Speaker 1: out of here. How can I find the next podcast
- 0:15Speaker 1: like right now? Well, you have to go searching. How
- 0:18Speaker 1: many platforms for it? How about this? Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy
- 0:25Speaker 1: your exploration. I call it stream thinking because it's learning
- 0:30Speaker 1: how to trust what is in your present place of
- 0:32Speaker 1: right now. And no, it's not an easy thing. That's
- 0:34Speaker 1: why you've got to practice as often as possible. Here's
- 0:37Speaker 1: what I do. It is so effing simple. One sheet
- 0:41Speaker 1: of paper every day, just 10 minutes. Write about whatever
- 0:45Speaker 1: is moving through your present place of right now. It
- 0:47Speaker 1: can be happy. It can be sad. It can be lonely.
- 0:49Speaker 1: It can be a place where you go, God dang,
- 0:51Speaker 1: I feel good. I don't want the world to know
- 0:53Speaker 1: about this. I don't feel like sharing it, but I'm
- 0:55Speaker 1: going to write about it anyway. I love you for it.
- 0:57Speaker 1: No judgment ever when you are stream thinking. Because stream
- 1:01Speaker 1: thinking sharpens your skills as a listener, as a communicator,
- 1:05Speaker 1: and as an activator. It is physically learning how to
- 1:08Speaker 1: trust what is in your right now. This is stream thinking.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Today we're reading from December 13th, 2025. How is it
- 1:17Speaker 1: that we can mark up our hands so quickly, but
- 1:22Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I can never truly
- 1:24Speaker 1: identify where I got that cut or bruise on my hand. Now,
- 1:27Speaker 1: research simply calls it human reasons. How it actually happened
- 1:33Speaker 1: is not a mystery at all. We often bring injury
- 1:36Speaker 1: to our hands and don't remember it because the darn
- 1:39Speaker 1: brain has officially decided that it's unimportant. Our hands are
- 1:43Speaker 1: on autopilot. It's when that task becomes a routine that
- 1:48Speaker 1: that big old brain in our head dies. It moves
- 1:51Speaker 1: in its own way. And memory, it's nothing. So you
- 1:54Speaker 1: marked up your hand. Who cares? Pick yourself up, wipe
- 1:57Speaker 1: the dirt off your knees, right? That small cut on
- 2:00Speaker 1: your hand is far from being a memory maker. But
- 2:05Speaker 1: I don't know about you. That itty bitty cut on
- 2:10Speaker 1: your finger or on your palm. Where did I get this?
- 2:19Speaker 1: I don't know. I got to be honest with you, though.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I don't do Zoom interviews where you can see me.
- 2:25Speaker 1: And the reason why is because these hands that are
- 2:28Speaker 1: on autopilot, oh, for the love of God, they really
- 2:31Speaker 1: are on autopilot. They are all over the place. I
- 2:35Speaker 1: am always knocking things down. I'm hitting this microphone because
- 2:39Speaker 1: my hands, they think they're in control of everything going on.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And no wonder I'm always getting these eee!
- 2:46Speaker 2: Bitty cuts right there and it hurts i want to
- 2:52Speaker 2: cry to my mom like a little two-year-old saying why
- 2:56Speaker 2: why do.
- 2:58Speaker 1: You remember how you got it son no just let
- 3:01Speaker 1: it go just let it go just never forget that
- 3:06Speaker 1: your hands are on autopilot but can you imagine where
- 3:09Speaker 1: you would be in life if you didn't have those
- 3:10Speaker 1: hands and i'm couple of new year's eves ago i
- 3:15Speaker 1: was at a celebration the neighborhood was together and we
- 3:19Speaker 1: were all going out the front door and and there
- 3:21Speaker 1: were no there were no railings we were we were
- 3:24Speaker 1: what maybe six seven steps up and we were over
- 3:27Speaker 1: a hill there were no railings i fell because i
- 3:31Speaker 1: guess it's just a habitual thing that you're reaching out
- 3:34Speaker 1: for the railing it's not there whoop there he goes
- 3:37Speaker 1: well it was these hands that saved my ribs I'm
- 3:41Speaker 1: a third degree black belt in martial arts. You would
- 3:43Speaker 1: think that I would learn that what I paid for
- 3:46Speaker 1: would be some serious ass kicking, right? Well, not really.
- 3:50Speaker 1: It was me who got their ass kicked when I
- 3:52Speaker 1: fell off those stairs with no railings, but it was
- 3:55Speaker 1: my hands that protected the fall. I knew how to
- 3:59Speaker 1: land on the planets. I knew how to roll. And
- 4:03Speaker 1: I sat there and I thought, this could have been
- 4:05Speaker 1: worse than what it really was. And who do I credit?
- 4:09Speaker 1: These hands. that are on autopilot. I'm Arrow, and that's
- 4:13Speaker 1: Stream Thinking.
