- 0:00Speaker 1: It really is about having fun, exploring, and finding things
- 0:03Speaker 1: out that you didn't know so you can say, oh, wow,
- 0:06Speaker 1: I can't wait to share this. It's what we do
- 0:08Speaker 1: on Arrow.net, 21 different podcasts, A-R-R-O-E.net. One of our big

- 0:25Speaker 1: them before we share them with you. Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy
- 0:31Speaker 1: your exploration. Hey, it's me, that question guy. You know,
- 0:35Speaker 1: the dude that's always asking questions because it's so much
- 0:37Speaker 1: fun to do the research for answers. Such as, why
- 0:41Speaker 1: does the thought of food take over our business day decisions? Hmm. Plus,
- 0:48Speaker 1: where in the big book, the Bible, does it show
- 0:51Speaker 1: that Jesus is slapping people upside the head? Really? My
- 0:55Speaker 1: name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
- 1:01Speaker 1: then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess
- 1:04Speaker 1: because it's a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. It is
- 1:07Speaker 1: my daily writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,
- 1:11Speaker 1: we as people tend to throw things to the side
- 1:13Speaker 1: because we think we're going to deal with it later on.
- 1:16Speaker 1: If you want to deal with it later on, you
- 1:18Speaker 1: got to jot it down. You got to take some
- 1:20Speaker 1: notes because you ain't going to be remembering it. When
- 1:22Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me, it is time to
- 1:25Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
- 1:28Speaker 1: doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is the
- 1:32Speaker 1: daily mess. Why does the thought of food take over
- 1:36Speaker 1: our business day decisions? Does anyone ever get any work
- 1:40Speaker 1: done before lunch? Well, without a doubt, food is tied
- 1:44Speaker 1: to one of our brain's motivational settings. Your brain is
- 1:47Speaker 1: no different than your pet dog. The brain is always
- 1:51Speaker 1: locked in on getting that reward and immediate satisfaction. Believe
- 1:56Speaker 1: it or not, it does block out long-term considerations such
- 2:00Speaker 1: as finishing a task. Work still gets done, but the
- 2:03Speaker 1: brain is doing its own thing. It's checking in saying, uh-uh, uh-uh. Now,
- 2:09Speaker 1: it's not a lack of intelligence or motivation. It's a
- 2:12Speaker 1: competition to get whatever attention is available at the time. But, but, but,
- 2:16Speaker 1: but there is a difference between being hungry and being
- 2:20Speaker 1: preoccupied with food. Hunger is always going to be huge.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Hunger is also physical. Lunch is looked upon as being
- 2:30Speaker 1: a preoccupation. It is a learned habit, emotional response, or
- 2:35Speaker 1: the big reward. If you would like to change your habit,
- 2:39Speaker 1: it's time to interrupt that loop. You can do this
- 2:42Speaker 1: by using self-discipline in the way of creating and sticking
- 2:46Speaker 1: to a daily lunchtime. Don't get off the path. Always
- 2:51Speaker 1: change your environment. Plus, don't forget to ask your hunger
- 2:55Speaker 1: if it's thirst. What are you, dude? Are you really
- 2:58Speaker 1: hunger or are you thirst? It is a power nap,
- 3:02Speaker 1: not boredom. Something is making your love for food louder
- 3:07Speaker 1: and louder every day. But the question is, do you
- 3:10Speaker 1: turn it into a reward? Hey, coming up next, where
- 3:15Speaker 1: in the Bible, yeah, the big book, does it say
- 3:18Speaker 1: that Jesus slapped people upside the head? Hey, thanks for
- 3:23Speaker 1: coming back to The Daily Mess. Where in the big book,
- 3:27Speaker 1: the Bible, does it show that Jesus enjoyed slapping people
- 3:30Speaker 1: upside the head while shouting, healed? Uh-oh, this is a
- 3:36Speaker 1: human thing, right? All of these faith healers, and they
- 3:40Speaker 1: do that big whack. Jesus didn't do the big whack. Now,
- 3:45Speaker 1: sometimes he did some things to heal some people, and
- 3:48Speaker 1: it was very dramatic, but it wasn't a quick hit
- 3:51Speaker 1: upside the noggin. Jesus used his words like, your son
- 3:56Speaker 1: will live, John 4.50. The creative son also touched people
- 4:00Speaker 1: you'll find in the book of Mark. Oh, wait. There
- 4:04Speaker 1: was that time that Jesus put mud on that blind
- 4:07Speaker 1: man's eyes. How dare he? Plus, we can't leave out
- 4:12Speaker 1: that Jesus didn't hold back telling people to get up,
- 4:15Speaker 1: pick your mat up, and start walking. But no faith
- 4:19Speaker 1: healer in those days slapped somebody upside the forehead and said,
- 4:25Speaker 1: Then again, there was that time inside the temple Jesus
- 4:29Speaker 1: turned over all the tables and drove out the merchants.
- 4:32Speaker 1: That was one of those moments, right? Not really. No,
- 4:35Speaker 1: it wasn't a healed moment. That was just Jesus being Jesus.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Then again, we had Amy McPherson, a huge head-hitting faith
- 4:44Speaker 1: healer from the 1920s. I grew up watching Oral Roberts.
- 4:48Speaker 1: This is where all this is coming from. And I
- 4:51Speaker 1: was convinced as a kid that that's what everybody must do.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I mean, look at Benny Hinn. Here's the dude that
- 4:57Speaker 1: has people falling backwards. Not a big old southern swing.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It's just like boink right on the head and they
- 5:03Speaker 1: fall over. Boink. Boink! But Jesus didn't do that. Not
- 5:08Speaker 1: in this book. I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
