Have you discovered it yet?
0:04
It's more than just a podcast.
0:05
It's 20 different podcasts that give you the power of choice.
0:10
One of those podcasts is something our parents would say, come on, we all grew up with parents
0:14
that would say the wackiest, craziest things.
0:16
Well, they had to come from somewhere, right?
0:19
And what is the purpose and origin?
0:21
Well, let's find out.
0:23
Something our parents would say.
0:28
Enjoy your exploration.
0:29
Hey, what's going on?
0:30
It's me, the guy that's always asking questions.
0:34
It's because I really want to find a lot of enjoyment in researching for answers, such
0:38
as aren't we all a little bit insane?
0:43
Are we truly mentally tuned in here?
0:46
Plus, butt kissing at work has a gotten out of hand.
0:50
My name is Aero, I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
0:53
That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
0:58
I happen to call it the Daily Mass.
1:00
It is a chronological walkthrough in everyday world, which means it's my morning pages.
1:05
As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw things to the side because
1:10
we think we're going to deal with it later on.
1:12
When a subject arrives inside of me, it is time to dig in.
1:17
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research, asking the questions,
1:22
the picture becomes clearer.
1:24
This is the Daily Mass.
1:26
Aren't we all a little bit on the insane side?
1:31
Are we truly mentally tuned in?
1:35
Research is in shy to explain that many of us carry some level of insanity, but not
1:40
in the clinical sense of mental illness.
1:42
It's more along the lines of our minds, our cramful of contradictions, biases, emotions
1:49
and stories we endlessly tell ourselves.
1:53
We believe things because we feel they're true, not because they've been proven.
1:57
We are extremely guilty of repeating habits, even when reality doesn't help us.
2:04
And the really scary thing is, we do interpret reality through our own fear and experiences.
2:11
Well, what about being tuned in?
2:13
Well, biologically, we know the way towards survival.
2:17
That includes surrounding ourselves with the people that we know.
2:20
Research clearly shows a majority of us are locked in on what's called autopilot, with
2:26
no need to question what we believe.
2:29
The most dangerous people on the planet aren't the ones questioning reality.
2:33
It's the ones who never question reality.
2:37
How aware are you of your own personal madness?
2:41
Go ahead, ask the questions, and then question the answers.
2:44
Hey, coming up next, what's going on here?
2:49
Is there a lot of butt kissing taking place at the business?
2:53
Hey, thanks for coming back to the Daily Mess.
2:56
Why should employees support their places of business if all those decision makers do is
3:03
I say give bosses and decision makers and that business less of you.
3:10
Oh, we got to break this down and it's going to involve some butt kissing, maybe.
3:17
To constantly give to a place of business is seen as either strategic or human behavior.
3:24
It's not a weakness.
3:25
So why does life feel like there's a lot of butt kissing taking place then?
3:31
A lack of confidence, a person's dependence on approval, and we'll do anything to avoid
3:37
honesty with our business leaders.
3:40
Butt kissing has been given a bad rap.
3:43
It's seen as managing up, building relationships, it's political awareness.
3:48
This is what they say butt kissing is.
3:50
Knowing how the business really works and let's not leave out career positioning.
3:56
Healthy is showing respect and communication with some praise when it's deserved.
4:02
Unhealthy butt kissing appears when there's constant flattery, a fake agreement, and throwing
4:08
people under the bus.
4:10
The people getting noticed at work are those who combine good work and visibility.
4:15
It doesn't say much about butt kissing there.
4:18
I'm Arrow and that's the Daily Mass.
