00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:04.389
Hey, don't forget about arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. I've been the one
2
00:00:04.419 --> 00:00:06.059
that's been trapped in the front seat of the car
3
00:00:06.099 --> 00:00:09.300
in the middle of traffic with a podcast that's boring.
4
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.679
Where can I go quickly? What can I do in
5
00:00:11.699 --> 00:00:17.429
the office when things are boring? It is a podcast network,
6
00:00:17.429 --> 00:00:25.539
21 different podcasts to choose from. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey,
7
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:27.839
it's me, that question guy. You know, the dude that's
8
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.179
always asking questions because it's so much fun to do
9
00:00:30.219 --> 00:00:33.780
the research for answers. For instance, why did it feel
10
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.990
like it took a lifetime to graduate from high school,
11
00:00:38.369 --> 00:00:40.950
but life as an adult is locked in at 500
12
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:46.049
miles per hour? Hmm. Plus, is prayer just another way
13
00:00:46.149 --> 00:00:49.890
to wish upon a falling star? Uh-oh. My name is Arrow.
14
00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:52.310
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on
15
00:00:52.329 --> 00:00:55.409
the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
16
00:00:55.829 --> 00:00:58.329
I call it The Daily Mess because it's a chronological
17
00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:01.469
walkthrough in everyday world. It is my daily writing. When
18
00:01:01.509 --> 00:01:03.750
a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it's time to
19
00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:07.349
dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
20
00:01:07.409 --> 00:01:10.739
doing the research, the picture is always going to become clearer.
21
00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:14.780
This is The Daily Mess. Why did it feel like
22
00:01:15.019 --> 00:01:18.069
a lifetime to graduate from high school, but it feels
23
00:01:18.109 --> 00:01:21.719
like it only took 10 minutes to get 60 plus? Well,
24
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.319
we can put the brain on the court stand. It
25
00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:27.200
is very guilty here. I mean, the brain measures time
26
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.409
so much differently when you are younger. There's actually some
27
00:01:31.469 --> 00:01:35.430
psychology behind this. As a teen, you're physically watching the
28
00:01:35.469 --> 00:01:39.150
future arrive. You know, relationships, a career, money, and even
29
00:01:39.170 --> 00:01:43.310
your driver's license. As we age, time becomes a smaller
30
00:01:43.370 --> 00:01:46.549
percentage of our physical life. As a 10-year-old, that's only
31
00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:51.640
10% of your existence. As a 60-year-old, that's 2%. Another
32
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.260
reason why it feels like life is swiftly moving by,
33
00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:59.959
routines make time disappear. When you're young, everything is brand new.
34
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.849
As you get older, routine becomes familiar. Monday becomes Friday,
35
00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:09.389
then Christmas becomes what year was that? You may have
36
00:02:09.449 --> 00:02:13.250
fewer years in the windshield, but your rearview mirror has
37
00:02:13.289 --> 00:02:17.939
got one hell of a story. Hey, coming up next,
38
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:25.530
is prayer just another way to wish upon a falling star? Hey,
39
00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:28.330
thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. Is prayer
40
00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:32.330
just another way to wish upon a falling star? As
41
00:02:32.389 --> 00:02:35.110
much as we openly admit that we've all wished for
42
00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:38.620
a few wonderful things while praying... It is well written
43
00:02:38.699 --> 00:02:43.520
that one who does pray is doing considerably more than
44
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.439
just wishing upon a falling star. I mean, we've got
45
00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:49.360
to break this down. Wishing is hoping something will happen.
46
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.039
Prayer is expressing hope, need, gratitude, fear, or a desire
47
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.759
to do something greater than yourself. Now, let's toss in intention. Oh,
48
00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:03.759
my God. Deciding what you're going to do about what
49
00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:07.199
you're going to hope for. And faith... the act of
50
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.710
moving forward without knowing how it's going to turn out.
51
00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:14.740
Here's where it really gets different. Wishing is asking the
52
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.439
universe to change your current place of right now, whereas
53
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:25.219
prayer helps change the person expressing and experiencing their circumstances
54
00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:28.919
of right now. Prayer can actually be seen as a
55
00:03:28.979 --> 00:03:33.759
person listening to the universe, which doesn't really kind of
56
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.000
need that organized religion kind of thing. Think spiritual, think personal,
57
00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:44.199
think deeply more human. There is a big difference between
58
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.180
that thing called prayer and that other thing called wishing
59
00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:50.759
upon a falling star. You're going to ask for something
60
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.090
in both of them. Just know what you're doing and
61
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.590
where it's going to end up. I'm Errol, and that's
62
00:03:57.889 --> 00:03:58.530
The Daily Mess.
