you

00:25
Well, welcome to the new normal podcast, 2020 edition, where information and conversation leads to revelation. I am your host, Kevin D Bradley.

00:46
And you know what time it is, we are, I guess for the month of October, we still talking transparency.

00:59
What? You guessed it.

01:10
Surprise, surprise, surprise

01:15
Yes, we still talking transparency.

01:21
But we're gonna take a little twist with this for transparency. Check out the previous episodes. Transparency one, two, three, part one, two, three, and four to get caught up. So good information, some insight. Share some information. Some of the things that.

01:50
I have been going through and why I took a break for a while and I'm back and looking forward to a better and brighter future.

02:08
I will say this.

02:12
Hope the third makes the heart sick. Have you ever, full transparency?

02:23
As I...

02:26
put that stamp on this podcast. Full transparency moment. Have you ever been hoping for something to happen?

02:41
All your hope, all your faith, trust and confidence that it's going to come through, strong. You see improvement, you're making strides. And then all of a sudden, kablookup.

03:06
things don't turn out the way you had hoped for in your heart. And a lot of times when, for me personally, when your hope...

03:25
get sucked up out of you by life and just unreasonable circumstances, it can really weigh a toll on your inner man and your outer man. And a lot of times people who experience hope deferred

03:56
if not aware of what's happening.

04:02
can go into depression.

04:06
regression, regrets, even suicidal thoughts or

04:18
unhealthy tendencies. So

04:23
I want to talk about being transparent.

04:29
And you know the three categories, transparent, translucent, and opaque. When your hope, when you feel like your hope is gone.

04:51
One thing for certain.

04:56
that will never ever ever change is life. Life is gonna keep lifeing. What do you mean by that? Meaning that despite how you feel, despite of what's going on around you, what's going on that includes you.

05:25
Life is gonna keep on moving. People are gonna keep on living.

05:33
time will keep on ticking even when it feels like your world has stopped. Whether that news that made your world stop is it's finding out you have an uncurable disease or finding out that

06:00
someone who you connected to.

06:07
for all your life or most of your life has seemingly transitioned.

06:16
from life to life beyond Earth?

06:24
Maybe it's a divorce. Maybe it's

06:32
your children not

06:36
acting the way in which you raise them. Whatever it may be that calls the shift in your heart.

06:50
and the hope to be smothered or smoldered, when it happens, it's the worst gut-wretched feeling that an individual can experience.

07:17
In my rehab.

07:21
I was experiencing great strides and growth and all of a sudden something just popped out that slowed me down and really just every step I took.

07:46
for progression seemed like it was countered with another step backwards. Two steps backwards. One step forward, two steps backwards.

08:04
and
