I spent some time with author and reporter Ian Frisch yesterday talking about his new book Magic Is Dead. A great conversation about the biggest names in magic. Openly I mentioned that it's such a dark place to travel. Those that have mastered the craft of magic are difficult to talk with because they live in the future and not the present. Meaning they've trained themselves to know where the magic trick is taking people that by the time the rest of us catch up to see the trick, the magician has already moved on. On this podcast we touch on that subject in way of how in the business and everyday worlds that we live we're under so much pressure to endlessly perform that we spend a lot of time in a future that isn't paying off the way our personal investment thought it should. I begin the conversation with my fears as a pre-teen. I grew up fearing what the preacher said, "One day you'll have to sit down with God and talk about your playback tape." As that kid, the only way I knew how to keep myself from totally becoming a loser was to be a huge part of the future and not put any focus on what's being lived now. Not a good choice. Mindfully we grow one day at a time. We've accepted other people's judgement as just another way of feeling like we belong. If they didn't take the time to tell us how much we suck they wouldn't care. That's not a good way to play or way to live. In magic the hand looks to be quicker than the eye. In real life the eye needs no tricks to fool the carrier of the mind and body being pushed forward. Find focus in the now. Trust that you're always in the right place. And if it feels like it's going wrong and hopelessness has flooded your stage, accept it don't horde it. Let all things move through you. Leave the playback tape somewhere you can't reach. You already know the steps taken. There's never a reason to have to explain. Take the pressure off your dreams and grow forward.

Clearing Not Opening

I was hit with a thought this morning while writing at 4:30. No matter what. How thick the challenge or glorious the victory, God can't change your past. I instantly picked up my smartphone and sent those words to my preacher friend Casey Crimmins. People who live in their past and live off those days of change or simpleness are trying to do something God can't do nor is he or she willing to put effort into the moment. Oh man, the dude is gonna go all thought Bible thumping! No! On this podcast we walk a path of learning how to stop hording your moments of championships won and days of darkness so deep that a passing thunderstorm takes one look at you and says, "Yeah much too strong for me." No matter how many times you walk into a Walmart, Home Depot or mall store you are coming out with something. I recently ventured into a closet I hadn't been in for months maybe years. It's not that my house is large. I have this habit of walking through the house the same way everyday. The closet isn't part of that daily journey. I opened the door. There in front of me was a lot of merchandise. Stuff I'd never worn or used. I bought it to buy it. The lessons of the everyday life. Aren't we doing the same thing. You learn new things at work without ever teaching it to someone who might replace you one day. I laugh at that stuff. I'm not laughing at anyone. I'm laughing with life. The hardest working most dedicated and loyal people at a place of business will be replaced only to spend the rest of their life trying to get the same job over and over again. Our closets are full. Not fulfilled but overfilled. It's time to clear out the mind, body and soul. Don't open it! That's an invitation for everything to come inside. Clear yourself. Teach someone your art. Allow them to live the experiences by way of being aware of where you've grown. Clear the path so that you can see your success.

We see our image in the mirror but feel like we're invisible to those around us. How? Why? They say the squeaky wheel always gets its way. Are we being too noisy with what we believe? On this podcast we openly talk about what so many endure when they begin to feel confident enough to share what grows within the center of the mind body and soul. I've always been spiritual. Almost afraid to let people know that I had a huge crush on the word of God. I hid behind an act of being positive and always smiling. Nobody ever knew why. They just labeled me weird. My private studies kept me focused on that relationship but to activate it in public was an energy I was too shy carry. I feared how people would react. Sadly they did when it became more known of how and why I'm a full time student for Christ. Those that make such a claim lose a lot of friends and family. It gets really old when preachers say its not easy to be Christian. The challenges and changes strengthen your faith or toss it completely out the window. One of our biggest weaker points is knowing how alone you feel during times of birth and rebirth. Rebuilding your path is what this message is about. How to be seen in a very invisible world.

Giving And Taking

I'm not going to pretend that I know how the methods of moving money through a church is handled. I just know what I'm told, "Twelve percent of the offering is given to outreach programs." I've learned to trust that message. The other day I was reminded of that exchange while sharing a gift with an assumed homeless man standing on the corner. I looked at him straight in the eyes and said, "I'm giving you five so that you can share with four others." Giving and taking starts with becoming a giver after you've taken. On this podcast I put a lot of focus on business leaders and employees that feel pretty blessed about where they presently stand in their success. Love it! Now give it away. Teach the people or person that's going to replace you. What? It's completely one hundred percent natural. Your career is coming to an end. I'd rather be happy knowing my experiences live in their spirit then being replaced by someone I know nothing of. Replenishing the forest. Not only does it open your personal fields of success but it teaches you to trust the lessons you've picked up a long the way. If all you do is take where on the platform will you be fulfilled? Was the journey truly worth it?

Did your parents or school teachers ever look at you and say "I don't know what's gotten into you but I don't like it." My Dad would always grab me fast, "I don't know what's gotten into you but it makes me worry." I'm blessed with the incredible opportunity to share messages with future Broadcasters and along the way one or several will always question my energy, my passion and drive. This past Wednesday I was asked, "How do you stay up like you are. What's gotten into you that I cannot find?" On this podcast I go back to July of 2016 and read from the pages that actually had me asking the same question, "What's gotten into me?" Let me forewarn you. If religion and spirituality make you feel odd or ugly. Please don't listen. I go all out regular guy Jesus not to promote the higher power but to answer the question. Being positive requires a seed. But what does it look like before it's planted in the soil and how will it look once it sprouts leaves and hopefully fruit? I once had an Operations Manager tell me to quiet down my positive approach to creating great work ethics. That same company fired me in 2016 and straight from my heart came these words, "God is great." The seeds you presently need to plant in whatever soil you wish to use, what do they look like? What are they saying to the birth of your new day? I honestly don't know what's gotten into me. I guess I'll never change.

Whoa... With a title like that it feels like the preachers have been called in to host a classic Southern Revival. Not at all. No moment passes for any of us that we aren't relying on hope to push us beyond our present place in the "Now." Careers are caving in. The price of gas is beginning to rise again. Small household injuries are huge doctor bills because you how insurance works. On this podcast I dive into the subject of what I call Hidden Speak. A total Arroe-ism. During those mornings when you feel like there's too much junk in your trunk and you'd do anything to call in to work and make it a mental day. You don't.. You figure out how to readjust the crud taking you down but not out. Hidden Speak is learning how to look beyond depression, moodiness and just plain ole yucky and locating a seed of positive. No matter how bad you feel or how angry you are with the world you're able to speak peace. It's not a difficult task. It's a choice. Football legend Roman Gabriel shared with me back in the 1980's that the body uses more muscles frowning then it does to smile. I was blessed with the opportunity to share a message the other day. I pay close attention to those in attendance and find true reason to stop and listen. It's in their facial expression. Deborah asked, "Where do you find all of this energy? Why are you always so upbeat?" I've had others ask me if I've been hired to sell something. They keep waiting for me to introduce the product. My answer will never change. I begin everyday writing. Hidden Speak on those pages builds a place for me to take the right step while making the right choices. You can say whatever you want in your daily writing but do so with a positive touch. It isn't very easy but it will change everything you do after you've finished writing.

The one thing missing from people's lives are those truth filled moments of testifying. That's such a church thing to say right? I'm not talking about that portion of the world. Testifying to yourself. Knowing the depth of the journey and finding victory in what's been labeled a struggle or tumble. On this podcast I go back nearly three years to a moment in the daily writing where the author has kept true to taking note of how growth endlessly feels like a failure but only by way making the choice. If people knew the power they hold by making the right choice there wouldn't be the cramping found in so many lifestyles. Through choice I've been able to live mindfully in the present. What does that mean? My past is the past. The only thing I can do with it is rewrite it but I choose not to because someone will come along and very loudly shout, "Oh hec no that isn't the way it went down." Why waste the energy? Through the power of choice I also keep myself from over planning or putting too much juice in visions of the future. I blew that game in the 1980's and 90's when I sank my entire life into trying to become that radio disc jockey in California. Everything I did on the path was trying to shape that story which never came into being. Therefore I've had to make the choice to be forgiving of the creative mind that isn't going to get that time back. It's an uphill battle to live in the presence of "Now." Once you begin to feel it the realization of choice becomes every reason to see your image in victory rather than an ongoing gut feeling of defeat.

Things that are invisible and yet we're told they're always there. It plays an evil game with the spirit of building trust and faith. Serving more as a reason to walk away than participate. On this podcast I get a little preachy with the way that we look at how we act and react to the messages shared on a daily or weekly basis. I'm always amazed at how many visionary bosses forecast the outcome of what should become but rarely accept the responsibility of when things don't play out as planned. It becomes a finger pointing adventure with newer reasons to unlock your faith to trust. Look, religion and spirituality are no different. It doesn't matter where you pick up your message, the preacher, pastor or teacher lays down what seems to be an easy process of steps to leading a better life blessed with proper decisions. Then nothing changes. He said. She said. All that once felt empowered and motivated has fallen back into an empty bucket of nothingness. You can't blame both situations on the leadership at hand. For any plan or performance to lean on succeeding activation has to be the top priority. Amazing amounts of time and work go into progress. When ideas and plans just sit there, the end result may look like a season of growth only to learn the vision was more powerful then the actuality of reality. Decision makers and preachers are seed planters, idea starters, courageous chance takers that realized along the way that in order to reach a moment of victory it's not going to get done if everything being done is by themselves. There's no worse feeling then when things aren't going as planned. For the employee and or spirit walker the promised changes don't seem to materialize as fast as they do on television shows. That families backyard was redesigned and planted with growth inside 30 minutes. If that were the case with everything, we'd grow tired of dreaming. We honestly expect way too much. When you're ready to win. Slip on a pair of activation slippers and get your feet muddy. We go to work and church to make a difference not in our lives but those who need what you're creating and serving. Success begins when you take you out of the mix. Reach for the community first.

Cold In The Heart
<a class="spreaker-player" href="https://www.spreaker.com/episode/17009569" data-resource="episode_id=17009569" data-width="100%" data-height="350px" data-theme="light" data-playlist="show" data-playlist-continuous="true" data-autoplay="false" data-live-autoplay="false" data-chapters-image="true" data-episode-image-position="right" data-hide-logo="true" data-hide-likes="false" data-hide-comments="false" data-hide-sharing="false" >Listen to "Cold In The Heart" on Spreaker.</a><script async src="https://widget.spreaker.com/widgets.js"></script>
Embrace the truth. We all have those moments where we're cold in the heart. Being outside in the cold is something not many cherish. We do all we can to bundle up to stay warm. Can we do the same when confronting a cold in the heart moment. On this podcast we talk about the steps of awareness that warm whats been chilled. It's not always by choice. The greatest workday suddenly shifts due to the physical cause and effect of a "Taker." Those that endlessly want without having to return. The blast of cold from your soul then creates a new self image. The passerby says, "I always knew they were a jerk. Wow it took this long for the image to become part of the path." Sadly we're introduced to this process of connection all too often. Don't let it change your personality. The more you let a "Taker"control the atmosphere you've become part of, the harder it is to recover. Your cold in the heart experience is nothing more than a dog barking at the mailman. Understanding a cold in the heart moment helps you define the line drawn between change and challenge. The I-Generation and Millennial's aren't as lazy as most assume. They just know how to get what they want and learn to live with someone who comes across as being cold in the heart. "Taking" is a way of life. If too much is set free from the "Giver" there are others to receive from. The part of the story missing is the guilt trip and shaming a "Giver" moves through because the awareness of having a cold in the heart moment infects the image of who they are as a personality. I grip the reasons why we share. That doesn't mean you have to let go of the message. The greatest joy in success is the growing period. When "Takers" overcrowd your warm way, be truthful with how you consult, even if it means getting a little cold in the heart.
Embrace the truth. We all have those moments where we're cold in the heart. Being outside in the cold is something not many cherish. We do all we can to bundle up to stay warm. Can we do the same when confronting a cold in the heart moment. On this podcast we talk about the steps of awareness that warm whats been chilled. It's not always by choice. The greatest workday suddenly shifts due to the physical cause and effect of a "Taker." Those that endlessly want without having to return. The blast of cold from your soul then creates a new self image. The passerby says, "I always knew they were a jerk. Wow it took this long for the image to become part of the path." Sadly we're introduced to this process of connection all too often. Don't let it change your personality. The more you let a "Taker"control the atmosphere you've become part of, the harder it is to recover. Your cold in the heart experience is nothing more than a dog barking at the mailman. Understanding a cold in the heart moment helps you define the line drawn between change and challenge. The I-Generation and Millennial's aren't as lazy as most assume. They just know how to get what they want and learn to live with someone who comes across as being cold in the heart. "Taking" is a way of life. If too much is set free from the "Giver" there are others to receive from. The part of the story missing is the guilt trip and shaming a "Giver" moves through because the awareness of having a cold in the heart moment infects the image of who they are as a personality.

Whatever You Believe in Be Strong In You

Wow! That title or headline pretty much screams out, "Show me how." I love talking with people. Not the typical chitter chatter TMZ Hollywood update kind of trash. You get with me and we're going to be all over the map. That's what real conversation is about. Its the physical act of getting to know someone. I love it when people say, "Whoa you remember that?" Laughing out loud I remind them how my spiritual totem animal is an elephant and we never forget. On this podcast we bring out the truth about what we believe in. I am a Christian but you'll never see me push that on anybody. I wasn't called to do that job. My calling is fully blessed by a creator that commanded me to do nothing but listen. Each of us have a personal experience. Through those steps there are endless lessons that no book will ever expose. It's because human interaction requires the listener and or receiver to hear your emotional connection. Then grow in whatever direction your beliefs present. One of my billion mantras is grow forward and outward. It reminds my heart to stay free of the past. There's nothing there for my future to hold. It's been experienced. Turn it into a tool. Be present in the "Now." It gives you control of the moment. Learning to forgive your past is a chore. Unlocking yourself from the past is a victory no words can explain. Being a Christian doesn't mean I'm free of pain. Oh hec no! It sets me up for more but never more than I can handle. That doesn't mean you have to believe that. Whatever you believe in be strong in you. Study the shape of your hand then ask, "How many lives will I reach today so that tomorrow will bring light to the wanderers journey?"

Writing Is Your Map
<a class="spreaker-player" href="https://www.spreaker.com/episode/16974500" data-resource="episode_id=16974500" data-width="100%" data-height="350px" data-theme="dark" data-playlist="show" data-playlist-continuous="true" data-autoplay="false" data-live-autoplay="false" data-chapters-image="true" data-episode-image-position="right" data-hide-logo="true" data-hide-likes="false" data-hide-comments="false" data-hide-sharing="false" >Listen to "Writing Is Your Map" on Spreaker.</a><script async src="https://widget.spreaker.com/widgets.js"></script>
I love it when people complain about having to write something down. I always hear, "I don't have time!" That's when I grab my smart phone and go to their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Yeah... No time to write, take down a few messages from the present and hand them to a future self. On this podcast I leap back to July of 2016 and put focus on what being a daily writer has meant not to my outside shell but the spoiled creative snot that lives within the core of my heart and soul. Building bridges to the unwritten days that lay ahead requires not just your experiences but the travels and trials of others. Nothing stalls a day quicker then getting caught up in a conversation with Debbie Downer. Teaching yourself to allow it to move through you is a journey. Documenting the process makes you a stronger coworker as well as leader of your personal life. There's victory in moments that suck. I love it when a door squeaks while it being opened. It serves as a reminder of how the outside conditions of the weather plays hell on the hinges of your heart but that door still has the ability and willingness to set yourself free. You can't get to Montana without a map. Next week will feel better if you take a writing instrument and make friends with the eager being taking up room in your heart and blasting a bunch of voices in your head. Live by one rule: No book is put on the shelves at Barnes and Noble or posted on Amazon unless it's been written first. Your life is no different. Writing is your map.

Who Is Eating Your Seeds

No matter what day of week, something or someone has planted a seed in the open fields you offer. Everything from an idea to a physical command. Seeds are dropped into the palm of your hand endlessly. It becomes a choice as to what you're going to do with that itty bitty thing that has the ability to create a single leaf then many. On this podcast we walk through our methods of seed exchange. There's always a reason as to why that seed doesn't make itself known on your paths of choice. We drop them. Here's the thing. My most recent adopted dog is no different than the 9 before her, she sees the bird seeds they've kicked out of the cages and she eats them. Who is eating your seeds? We think we're dropping bread crumbs on the ground to find our way back. Two completely different things. Seeds evolve. Bread crumbs break down. Too often we take part in the planting and the taking of the fruit from the vine but never truly dive into the idea that maybe what once lived in that open field you carry wasn't meant for you. I'm not saying we are stuck on ourselves and feel we are superior. The message is to grasp onto a better understanding of realizing that preparation and growth might require our openness and delivery but the end results is more about serving the passerby then feeding our need and desire. It's a choice. Sadly though that decision is usually met with an open palm and the seeds fall to the ground.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 142

I've always believed that "Love" is still a family secret. Meaning the journey into that feeling that grows beyond marriage and togetherness fails to become the teaching tool that so many around us crave and or just need to tweak the systems of choice we carry. On this podcast I bring up the experiences of sharing conversation with those who've shared fifty plus years with the person in their life. The answer I receive when asking about the secret is always "Agree to always agree." I get it but I don't. Newlyweds hear it but they aren't activating it. The most recent lost of a very close friend of twenty eight years served as a knock on my heart "Hey in theory I'm gone but in love I'm still here." That feels like a ton of weight to carry because not everybody believes or trusts in the moments that have been described as being spiritual and or universal. Openly I admit that I don't deal with departure. I totally grasp why my adopted fuzzy puppy suffers from extreme anxiety. I feel as if her eyes are a mirrored image of who I am. Learning from those around us has always been greater than picking up a book on Amazon or the local library. The crack in the core of the conversation is the lack of talk. What is love? It reaches beyond church. It's pushes itself toward a horizon of decisions that can't be rewritten once lived an yet there remains love. Did my mother truly lose the man in her life three years ago or has she grown closer to the true spirit he always was. I shared a conversation with my wife the other day about how we never forget the sounds of the voices that touched our lives. I still hear my brother, my father and friends. Love that doesn't seem physical and yet there it is. Very much alive. Begin a journey to talk about what love is to you. Be truthful in your walk. Be aware of how you grow then teach the experience to the passerby.

Penetrate The Walls

People ask me all the time what my favorite book is. This isn't conceited but I love reading my daily journals from years past. He's a fricken nut job! There's drama, adventure, questions that demand answers and oh wow moments that inspire and influence this present moment. I laugh out loud and still find reason to put energy inside a tube of argument. On this podcast I step back to July 11, 2016 and experience a single paragraph that totally ignites the Southern Preacher in me and I aint even a preacher. But damn if it doesn't take the essence of why I write and slip it into a pair of modern day shoes. There's not a person on this planet that doesn't face a mountain or wall. Those dark spots are so bright that we become blinded by a lack of trust, belief and strength. I heard an interview with actor/comedian David Alan Grier yesterday where he bared his path of failure. He talked openly about crying, fearing and not having one inch of energy to think about anything but being negative. Sounds like a show most would tune out of. I couldn't! Each of us are teachers. We experience because one day a student will learn. Don't walk around that wall or mountain. Don't dig below it. Get your butt off that thing you aren't going over it. Penetrate the wall. Move through your bad day. Move through that area of your life that carries so much weight that time is no longer worth participating with. Penetrate the wall.
