Speaker 1: I've been blessed with the opportunity to share conversations with
each and every person who has appeared on NBC's The
Voice from twenty sixteen to this present day. We now
have it all on one podcast, that Voice. It's on
Arrow dot net a R r Oe dot Net.
Speaker 2: I like asking questions, and the reason why is because
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such
as the importance of outreaching? Are we even doing it right?
Are we enabling takers to grab even more plus outreach
versus hoarding? Who decides when it's too much? My name
is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my
morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We
as people tend to throw things to the side because
we think we're going to deal with it later on. Well,
when a subject hits me, I know it it's time
to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but
by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is
the daily Mess, more than ever places of worship are
geared up and pushing forward. The importance of doing this
thing called outreaching, But are we even doing it right?
Is it really based on having the right amount of
time to give? Well, let's be very clear about one thing.
Right from the very beginning. Outreaching is not based or
measured by the number of ticks on a clock. The
true calling is making sure that you show up, connecting,
offering support, Being right here, right now with an intention.
Giving a project two hours of your time is looked
upon as being meaningful. In fact, one person of community
support says, one to two hours of hard work and
dedication to your community is far greater than showing up
for ten hours and all you did was stand around.
A couple of hours can encourage someone who is struggling.
It builds trust, offers relief and support. Plus at plants
a seed that will grow later. A very important message
about outreaching is about creating an impact, not trying to
impress another. With an act of duration coming up next,
what should you give when you're outreaching? There are things
that people are just throwing away. Hey, welcome back to
the daily mess. The subject outreaching. Oh and it can
sometimes mean receiving physical things that you do not want.
It is very human to gather as much as you
can before it runs out. Well, how much of what's
been outreached has ended up in the trash or it's
the perfect example of hoarding. Does what we give actually matter?
Here's what the research says. A lot of items given
in the name of love become clutter or a waste
of space in another person's life. A complete list of
what receivers are tossing out and ignoring. Pins you know,
writing instruments, they don't want them, key chains and other trinkets.
Stop wasting your staples and ink, creating flyers and pamphlets.
They're not reading it. It's a waste of time and money.
And T shirts forget it. It's not top shelf items
for those seeking help. They aren't wearing the T shirt
that you so lovingly shared. Another place to look into
are single use items. Studies show outreaching is good for
the soul, but the receiver has no need for single
item uses. As for throwing stuff out, bite your tongue
and don't let the poison really get into your effort. Here,
what you are giving away does become hoarding material The
receiver doesn't want to disrespect the giver, so they put
it in a box and they shove it into a corner.
Yuph i'm rrow. And that's the daily mess.
