Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, don't forget about arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. I've been the one
- 0:04Speaker 1: that's been trapped in the front seat of the car
- 0:06Speaker 1: in the middle of traffic with a podcast that's boring.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Where can I go quickly? What can I do in
- 0:11Speaker 1: the office when things are boring? It is a podcast network,
- 0:17Speaker 1: 21 different podcasts to choose from. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey,
- 0:25Speaker 1: it's me, that question guy. You know, the dude that's
- 0:27Speaker 1: always asking questions because it's so much fun to do
- 0:30Speaker 1: the research for answers. For instance, why did it feel
- 0:33Speaker 1: like it took a lifetime to graduate from high school,
- 0:38Speaker 1: but life as an adult is locked in at 500
- 0:40Speaker 1: miles per hour? Hmm. Plus, is prayer just another way
- 0:46Speaker 1: to wish upon a falling star? Uh-oh. My name is Arrow.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on
- 0:52Speaker 1: the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
- 0:55Speaker 1: I call it The Daily Mess because it's a chronological
- 0:58Speaker 1: walkthrough in everyday world. It is my daily writing. When
- 1:01Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it's time to
- 1:03Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
- 1:07Speaker 1: doing the research, the picture is always going to become clearer.
- 1:11Speaker 1: This is The Daily Mess. Why did it feel like
- 1:15Speaker 1: a lifetime to graduate from high school, but it feels
- 1:18Speaker 1: like it only took 10 minutes to get 60 plus? Well,
- 1:21Speaker 1: we can put the brain on the court stand. It
- 1:24Speaker 1: is very guilty here. I mean, the brain measures time
- 1:27Speaker 1: so much differently when you are younger. There's actually some
- 1:31Speaker 1: psychology behind this. As a teen, you're physically watching the
- 1:35Speaker 1: future arrive. You know, relationships, a career, money, and even
- 1:39Speaker 1: your driver's license. As we age, time becomes a smaller
- 1:43Speaker 1: percentage of our physical life. As a 10-year-old, that's only
- 1:46Speaker 1: 10% of your existence. As a 60-year-old, that's 2%. Another
- 1:51Speaker 1: reason why it feels like life is swiftly moving by,
- 1:54Speaker 1: routines make time disappear. When you're young, everything is brand new.
- 2:00Speaker 1: As you get older, routine becomes familiar. Monday becomes Friday,
- 2:05Speaker 1: then Christmas becomes what year was that? You may have
- 2:09Speaker 1: fewer years in the windshield, but your rearview mirror has
- 2:13Speaker 1: got one hell of a story. Hey, coming up next,
- 2:18Speaker 1: is prayer just another way to wish upon a falling star? Hey,
- 2:25Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. Is prayer
- 2:28Speaker 1: just another way to wish upon a falling star? As
- 2:32Speaker 1: much as we openly admit that we've all wished for
- 2:35Speaker 1: a few wonderful things while praying... It is well written
- 2:38Speaker 1: that one who does pray is doing considerably more than
- 2:43Speaker 1: just wishing upon a falling star. I mean, we've got
- 2:45Speaker 1: to break this down. Wishing is hoping something will happen.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Prayer is expressing hope, need, gratitude, fear, or a desire
- 2:54Speaker 1: to do something greater than yourself. Now, let's toss in intention. Oh,
- 2:59Speaker 1: my God. Deciding what you're going to do about what
- 3:03Speaker 1: you're going to hope for. And faith... the act of
- 3:07Speaker 1: moving forward without knowing how it's going to turn out.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Here's where it really gets different. Wishing is asking the
- 3:14Speaker 1: universe to change your current place of right now, whereas
- 3:18Speaker 1: prayer helps change the person expressing and experiencing their circumstances
- 3:25Speaker 1: of right now. Prayer can actually be seen as a
- 3:28Speaker 1: person listening to the universe, which doesn't really kind of
- 3:33Speaker 1: need that organized religion kind of thing. Think spiritual, think personal,
- 3:39Speaker 1: think deeply more human. There is a big difference between
- 3:44Speaker 1: that thing called prayer and that other thing called wishing
- 3:47Speaker 1: upon a falling star. You're going to ask for something
- 3:50Speaker 1: in both of them. Just know what you're doing and
- 3:54Speaker 1: where it's going to end up. I'm Errol, and that's
- 3:57Speaker 1: The Daily Mess.
