Vocal De Frag Episode 177 Shadows And Shade

We're all guilty of it. We run from shadows and shade. Yet while walking through a forest although the temperature will change, we keep marching forward. When then while our minds are filled with shadows and shade do we feel like a wall is keeping us from maintaining the full vision of success?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just want to take the time to thank you
for being a big supporter of all of my podcasts,
all seventeen of them that have been hanging out and
growing ever since twenty twelve. Now, how can you find
them right? Well, there is one place. It's all been
centralized Arrow dot net, A R R E dot net
And once again, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey Sarah, welcome to vocal dfreg vocal d fragging is
taking the time to ask yourself the questions and question
the answers. You think it's easy to try it sometime,
but keep up with it. Don't just do it one
time and think, oh, I'm fixed. It doesn't work that way.
It's a journey, it's an understanding, it's an agreement asking
yourself the questions and then questioning the answers. This is

(00:42):
vocal dfrag walking through this forest today, something that came
into my heart and it was based on the shadows
and shades of a tree. It's like our mindsets, you know,
we're always going up and down, twisting around, we're falling,
we're picking ourselves back up, we're brushing the dirt off
our knees and then and here it comes again, more
shadows and shades, those challenges and changes that we have

(01:06):
to face on a daily basis, And during these uncertain times,
it gets worse and then it gets better. So how
do you make your way through the shadows and shades?
I mean, you can't always be a bright light. I
mean I've tried that game and I've been surrounded by
people that go turn it off. Mister positive, We don't
need you today. We need you to relate with us.

(01:26):
We need you to step into the shadows and shades
of the realms of our reality. Is it a choice
to step into this? And the reason why I bring
this up is because it is my choice to walk
through this forest where the sun is bright, but the
trees are creating shadows and shade. And when I step
into those moments, what do I feel? A chill? The

(01:48):
temperature changes. So therefore, why aren't we the same way
as human beings? We are. We are one hundred percent
the same, except people can't see the shadows and shades inside.
How we think, how we plan things out or don't
plan things out, how we procrastinate, how we build an
idea inside the invisibleness of our thinking process, and then

(02:11):
for it to materialize, I'm not going to do it today.
I'll set it aside the next day, and there you
have it, more shadow and shades. I'm a d fragger.
That means that I sit down and I ask the questions,
and I will ask myself those questions based on why
are you doing this? What puts you in this position

(02:31):
of decision making when you know the project has to
get done? Is it a fear of making mistakes? Is
it a fear of being greater than what you were yesterday?
And that is a real fear, because if you're going
to be greater than what you were yesterday, what's tomorrow
going to bring? You have to be better than that.
I mean I had to deal with that when I
was voted employee of the Year back in the nineteen nineties.

(02:52):
I had to live up to that trophy. Well maybe
not to others, but to myself. And I believe that
we do that to ourselves on a daily basis. We
have a great day, well let's do it again. Let's
have a great day again tomorrow, Let's have a great week,
a great month. And when it doesn't pan out, it's
like writing the title of a book or a chapter.

(03:12):
You've got to live up to how that book or
that chapter has begun. The title, the Shadow, the Shades,
dealing with it, talking about it. Don't run to somebody
and get their assumption because they're not walking in your shoes.
Trust in yourself first, and then grow forward. It's okay
to walk into the shadows and shades. Just know it's

(03:34):
going to be a little bit cooler. Listen to it,
ask the questions, question the answers. It's called defragging. I'm
