Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know what's funny about podcasts listening today? It's being
- 0:02Speaker 1: treated just like radio once was. In, out, over here,
- 0:07Speaker 1: over there. Did you hear about? Yeah, I did. But
- 0:09Speaker 1: what are you listening to and where can I find it?
- 0:11Speaker 1: How about if we design a website that gives you
- 0:14Speaker 1: 21 different podcasts in one place? Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. And while
- 0:21Speaker 1: you're there, why not check out Music's Lost History? You
- 0:24Speaker 1: know the music, you know the artists, but can you
- 0:26Speaker 1: guess them before we share them with you? Music's lost history,
- 0:30Speaker 1: only on Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hates me,
- 0:37Speaker 1: that question guy. You know, the dude that's always asking
- 0:39Speaker 1: questions because it's a lot of fun when you start
- 0:42Speaker 1: doing the research for answers. For instance, is it okay
- 0:45Speaker 1: to grow old while sitting in a chair with your
- 0:48Speaker 1: feet covered up by a nice, warm wool blanket? Plus,
- 0:53Speaker 1: is it better to locate a solution or face the situation?
- 0:57Speaker 1: My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
- 1:04Speaker 1: then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess.
- 1:07Speaker 1: It is a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. Oh yeah,
- 1:10Speaker 1: it's my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,
- 1:13Speaker 1: we as people tend to throw things to the side
- 1:16Speaker 1: because we think we're going to deal with it later on. Well,
- 1:19Speaker 1: when a subject arrives inside of me, dude, come on now,
- 1:21Speaker 1: it's time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
- 1:24Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture is always going
- 1:28Speaker 1: to become clearer. This is The Daily Mess. Are we
- 1:32Speaker 1: becoming old people vowing to sit in a chair with
- 1:36Speaker 1: our feet covered up by a homemade wool blanket? Yep,
- 1:40Speaker 1: we are. We hit that stage in life when becoming
- 1:43Speaker 1: old is realizing that comfort is not something to apologize for.
- 1:49Speaker 1: There comes a point when that chair becomes your chair
- 1:53Speaker 1: and cold feet become a personal emergency. Getting out might
- 1:57Speaker 1: actually mean just moving to a different chair. The truth is,
- 2:01Speaker 1: having your feet covered is like a true accomplishment, which
- 2:05Speaker 1: is so different than the way that we were thinking
- 2:08Speaker 1: as young adults. That's when we thought the idea of
- 2:11Speaker 1: aging means losing our sense of adventure, when in reality,
- 2:15Speaker 1: it means getting much better at deciding what in our
- 2:18Speaker 1: life deserves our time and energy. Maybe we really aren't
- 2:23Speaker 1: old people. Not at all. We finally earned an honor
- 2:27Speaker 1: to have that homemade wool blanket. Hey, coming up next,
- 2:33Speaker 1: how important is it to locate a solution over a situation? Hey,
- 2:41Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. How important
- 2:44Speaker 1: is it to locate a solution over the situation? Ooh,
- 2:49Speaker 1: this is a huge subject. It determines whether we spend
- 2:53Speaker 1: our energy on living in a problem or moving beyond
- 2:58Speaker 1: the problem. I mean, we got to break this thing down.
- 3:01Speaker 1: A situation is what you're facing. A solution is what
- 3:04Speaker 1: you're willing to do about it. The situation tells you
- 3:08Speaker 1: what's wrong. You lose your job. That is a situation.
- 3:12Speaker 1: It depends on your attention. The best part is that
- 3:16Speaker 1: you don't have to pretend everything is fine. A solution
- 3:20Speaker 1: gives your energy someplace to go instead of asking, why
- 3:23Speaker 1: is this happening? It's more about the lines of what
- 3:27Speaker 1: can we change? What did I learn from this? What
- 3:31Speaker 1: do I have to catch up on? Proof that a
- 3:34Speaker 1: situation can take over your mind for a day or years.
- 3:38Speaker 1: A solution can sometimes begin with just a single decision.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I'm Arrow, and that's your Daily Mess.
