Vocal De Frag With Arroe Collins

I had injured my left shoulder badly. It was extremely difficult to raise it. My neighbor showed no compassion saying, "Admit you are old and grow with it." I could never do that! Mainly because I never heard my parents or grandparents call themself old.

We've mastered the art of setting things aside. Then complain about how life isn't fair and you aren't getting what you worked for. The story has been building. Take yourself off the path of oh I'll get to one day. Physically grow forward with determination and not procrastination.

We all move with and without our transitions. Mental moments that create change or were put into place due to change. Very few of us recognize our transitions as being an amazing tool is getting to know who we are on the inside and out. Facing your transitions leads you toward peace as well as forgiveness.

Not everybody plays the game at 100%. One look at our lifestyle away from the judgers, it turns out we're making our way through a new day at 10%. Our hair is messed up, clothes are stained and torn and our attitude is like me for me not what you want to see. 10%.

Too often we do something at the drop of a hat knowing full well there may be consequences. You knew what it was before you picked it up. Facing those walls. How to become more aware of your instant decision making or repairing from another bad situation. You knew what it was when you picked it up.

Simple question; could you do it? Could you go 24 hours with out judging? Judging yourself and others? Judging the world and the universe. 24 hours without judgement...

How do you react when people make it clear, "It's not as good as the old days." Seriously, one look at the old days and the times weren't as easy as they are today. The good ole days? It's like someone who says they'd like to be 17 again. I don't mind just don't take todays technology with you. If you wanna go back please do but it has to be lived the very way you once did.

In everything we do there's always something next. Can we be in control of what it is? Is this why so many people live in their past. They always know what happens next!

While in the pulpit Pastor Steven Furtick asked, "Wouldn't it be great if you didn't know you?" An amazing seed to plant inside your heart. What if you didn't know yourself?

The majority of what we share in conversations about ourselves is based upon a true story. I'm a daily writer of thirty one years and it requires a lot of discipline to put the real story on paper. The same is true about our connections with people. A memory is always based upon a true story. That doesn't make it false. It makes it an interpretation.

There's value inside a passing thought. Why then do we set so many aside? Some of the greatest songs and movie ideas came from someone's passing thought. Even if it doesn't fully mature it can always serve as energy when connected to another passing thought. Begin a journey of truly listening to your passing thoughts. Personal growth is waiting to get out.

Not only are people pushing hard on us but we're treating ourselves the same way. We've set our standards and expectations so high and so far out there that we've become exhausted. How to get better control of your path is approachable and it begins with asking questions and questioning answers.

Wall do it. It's completely natural to be a taker. The wake up call comes when so many have taken from you and there's no longer any soil on the ground to grow new beginnings.

Here we are! Another moment in our reflection. We are constantly reflecting on our lives. Measuring the wants and needs with the losses and stumbles. Why? When you are present in your place of now there's no personal judgement.

We're all saying it, "I'm so consumed." Breaking it down has shown me that being consumed leads to taking notes which leads to no longer depending on our memory. I call it laziness.

An honest question, is it all about you or the foundation of the people? Ways you can look at where you presently stand. Being happy by yourself or always grouping together.

Getting caught up in your what if... We're all guilty of asking what if?  It gets in the way of your success and or it serves as a great protection.  What if?  

Creativity is a huge tool on our paths of success. Because of demand as well as multi tasking, creative exhaustion has leveled a lot of great projects and dreams. How can we get beyond those empty moments and celebrate our gift to create?

We're stalling ourselves by putting too much attention on things that don't matter and if they did they're weighed down by a decision to continue living in the past.

We all have issues. Many of them get in the way of personal growth or capturing a goal. In essence we are a stone in the middle of our flow. How do we break free of it? What else is hidden in our flow that's knocking us to the side or giving up hope of locate the ocean?

Talent is a gift. What happens to most of the gifts we receive from others? They break. We lose them. Talent is a step. What's the real performance?

I grew up in a bowling alley. The family loved to throw the rock. To this day I hear my mother's voice "Son you need to slow down and follow through." Little did I know it wasn't just about bowling. Life in general needs to be slowed down and followed through. Our hearts and heads are consumed with too much information with even more knocking on your front door. Does thinking too much come across...

Engaging with a conversation requires the entire self. For countless reasons we have become this generation of half listeners. Regaining control of your participation in the progress calls for theater of the mind. To envision yourself as being an important part of the shared message. Half listening leads to assumption and or I think I heard it this way. From business meetings to neighborhood footb...

Do I believe people are happy to see me? No. They're happy that I see them. Learning to recognize people first is a great community builder. We're all locked up and lost in a world completely built by our inner core of doubt fear shame and guilt. Step free of it by knowing you're going to recognize someone first.
