Speaker 1: Welcome to Shine Delusion Shine, the radical art of dreaming
Speaker 1: beyond boundaries. I am Vicki Todd, and together with doctor
Speaker 1: Pat we will learn to push the boundaries of our minds,
Speaker 1: to think delusionally, and create fertile ground for our big
Speaker 1: dreams to seed, grow, and manifest. Each episode, we will
Speaker 1: gain more ability to think delusionally and cultivate beyond boundaries,
Speaker 1: faith that we can accomplish dreams which seem unreachable. Shine
Speaker 1: Delusion Shine is a springboard to believing, dreaming and thinking
Speaker 1: beyond the ordinary, and a catalyst to living a more fulfilling,
Speaker 1: destiny driven life. You were born with dreams, gifts and
Speaker 1: talents you are meant to use to make this world brighter.
Speaker 1: Let your delusional dreams shine. It all starts now.
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, I'm doctor Pat. I get to take this
Speaker 2: amazing journey with the most incredible Vicki Todd. For those
Speaker 2: of you out there, if you have a watch the show,
Speaker 2: or this is maybe your first time, you're gonna be
Speaker 2: You're gonna be amazed. Do you see the background in
Speaker 2: Vicky's video? This is Vicky. What she's able to do
Speaker 2: is take this beautiful ride of life and translated into
Speaker 2: amazing art today. This is so important dream liftoff. Now
Speaker 2: what now, let me tell you why this is important,
Speaker 2: because this particular day is especially important with what's happening
Speaker 2: with the solar flare and the planet Jupiter. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, later on tonight we're going to be
Speaker 2: talking about that. But when you take a look and
Speaker 2: you're looking at your own lif and you see what
Speaker 2: you have done, this amazing lift off. I don't care
Speaker 2: what it is. I don't care if you like to
Speaker 2: chop onions and that just turns you on. It's a
Speaker 2: lift off. Today. What Vicky's going to do is walk
Speaker 2: us through this. What's the deal. You've worked hard here,
Speaker 2: you are manifesting big, bold ideas. But now what, VICKI
Speaker 2: that's the big question.
Speaker 3: Now, that's the question today.
Speaker 1: You know, I consider myself a memoir artist, and so
Speaker 1: I'm doing this topic right now because I am living it,
Speaker 1: and so I wanted to share my experience because I'm
Speaker 1: sure that other people out there are feeling the same thing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, to start off, Yeah, to start off, I
Speaker 1: have really great news my book that I've been working on,
Speaker 1: yes for the past whole year and a few weeks
Speaker 1: is finally with my publisher and now with the editor.
Speaker 1: And so it is called Shine Happy Shine, A mystical
Speaker 1: memoir of art destiny and a tenacious mother daughter bond.
Speaker 1: And so I have a website for the book that
Speaker 1: is up and it's Shinehappy Shine dot com. And so
Speaker 1: you can see a synosis of the book. You can
Speaker 1: see my bio to learn a little bit more about me.
Speaker 1: And I have an art raffle that's happening to celebrate
Speaker 1: the publication, which isn't until fall twenty twenty six. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly when yet. I'll know that probably in
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. But here's the deal. If you
Speaker 1: go to the homepage and sign up for my email address,
Speaker 1: that will enter you into this art raffle. And so
Speaker 1: I have an art raffle tab in the menu that
Speaker 1: he can go to get more details. But I have
Speaker 1: thirty two of my paintings. This is the cover painting
Speaker 1: that will be on the cover of the book, and
Speaker 1: it has the animal ancestors symbols because sometimes.
Speaker 3: They show up humans, sometimes they show up animal.
Speaker 1: And I have a link to all of the paintings
Speaker 1: in the book, so you can preview them before the
Speaker 1: book comes out. And so what I'm offering is the
Speaker 1: day the book comes out in the fall, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: randomly select one of the emails in the email list,
Speaker 1: and you can choose which pay me you want to
Speaker 1: be made into an eight inch by ten inch full
Speaker 1: color fine art archival print, and I will have it
Speaker 1: made and send it to you. And so it is
Speaker 1: open and ready to go.
Speaker 2: Wow, exciting. Well, you know, part of that is being
Speaker 2: able to take that leap. And I know one of
Speaker 2: the things you're going to talk about today, and we
Speaker 2: don't know we do this, but we do. And that
Speaker 2: is we put on that old skin. We put on
Speaker 2: the skin we've already had, but we've already shed. But like, okay,
Speaker 2: I still like it. You know what It's like, It's that,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this is so perfect. We got two
Speaker 2: jackets sitting downstairs in the living room. I don't know
Speaker 2: what decade they're from, but they're sitting there because they're
Speaker 2: so hard to get rid of. But the reason they're
Speaker 2: in the living room is because it's time to move
Speaker 2: them on. But there is now the temptation. They're just
Speaker 2: sitting in the living room. Why because the temptation is
Speaker 2: I've shed them. There they are If I could just
Speaker 2: put that thing on just one more time, Victa, I know,
Speaker 2: I know, well, you.
Speaker 1: Know, with all this wonderful stuff going on, which is
Speaker 1: extremely exciting, of course my mind goes into reverse and says, well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute. You've you know, you've worked hard on
Speaker 1: a lot of things. You're one woman show, you had
Speaker 1: an art booth, that art Santa Fe. You know, you've
Speaker 1: been working on this book for over a year. Nothing
Speaker 1: has ever really taken off. You know, I did well,
Speaker 1: but it hasn't really taken off. So why do you
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be any different. You've wasted a
Speaker 1: whole year. Your editor's gonna hate it, and she's gonna
Speaker 1: want to change everything. And so I think it's just
Speaker 1: programmed in. Even though you're having these really exciting moments
Speaker 1: that you know, it's like a stop sign to say no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna work.
Speaker 1: And I had to physically stop myself and say hold on.
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about this before that that's just
Speaker 1: kind of how our brains are wired.
Speaker 3: It's wired toward the negative.
Speaker 1: And so you know, ninety five percent of our thoughts
Speaker 1: every day are the old, worn down thoughts that we've
Speaker 1: had day after day after day. And it's like this
Speaker 1: worn rut, this worn road in your brain. And seventy
Speaker 1: to eighty percent of that ninety five percent is negative sabotaging.
Speaker 1: You're never going to six seed type of thoughts. So
Speaker 1: that means all little five percent somewhere in our brain
Speaker 1: that we have to work to make a new road
Speaker 1: in our mind says yeah, you can do this.
Speaker 3: You've got this yay, delusional dreams, let's go.
Speaker 1: And so that's exactly what I had to do, was
Speaker 1: turned those around, you know, because my thoughts were saying,
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't have that many people in your audience.
Speaker 1: I had one really great day was twenty five to
Speaker 1: thirty people for my one woman show. One I literally
Speaker 1: had two people, and you know, of course I'm going
Speaker 1: to do the show to the best of my ability.
Speaker 1: But then I say, you know what, I had so
Speaker 1: many comments afterward, I recognize those people in your family,
Speaker 1: They're in my family. I had two women who are
Speaker 1: around the age of fifty, just like I was in
Speaker 1: the story that cried because it really struck a chord
Speaker 1: in them. With the art booth at Santa Fe. Okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't make any sales, but I really got my
Speaker 1: name out there and met a bunch of artists from
Speaker 1: around the country that you know, I can tap into.
Speaker 1: And so you have to work to say, I'm not
Speaker 1: falling into that negative rut.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to succumb to that.
Speaker 1: I'm going to create these new thoughts in my brain
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, this is good and I am to succeed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What I love about that story is when I
Speaker 2: came up with the crustbusting concept, like even before I
Speaker 2: started a show, I started to do class. I was
Speaker 2: compelled to do a class, just like you. You were
Speaker 2: compelled to create. You were compelled to bring your message
Speaker 2: out there. And if I were have paid attention to
Speaker 2: the fact that one person showed up or this person
Speaker 2: showed up, if that would have been my go to,
Speaker 2: which it never was. I was so clearly crossbusting with
Speaker 2: the gift, and I brought that through in the show,
Speaker 2: and I would have stopped if I based my decision
Speaker 2: on the two people that showed up for the thirteen
Speaker 2: week class, which people. But that's what you're saying, you know,
Speaker 2: I think we are always set up to try things on.
Speaker 2: It's like shoes. To me, life is like a pair
Speaker 2: of shoes, right. You know, maybe you're somebody VICKI that
Speaker 2: can go online and pick the shoes and then your
Speaker 2: size and then But this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: We have to give our ideas time to breathe and grow.
Speaker 2: Remember that's what I talked about, solar flares and Jupiter.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: And something has happened within the past week that I
Speaker 1: can pile onto this. I got an email last week,
Speaker 1: just out of the blue, this crazy offer, and it's
Speaker 1: one of those I almost deleted, but then I thought,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, let's check this out. I had a meeting,
Speaker 1: a zoom meeting with a guy yesterday, and so my
Speaker 1: rational mind is saying this is too far fetched, this
Speaker 1: is crazy, don't do it. But then when I finally
Speaker 1: got quiet and I listened, what my spirit mind was
Speaker 1: telling me, what my heart, my intuition that's connected to
Speaker 1: my higher power was telling me, was trust. And last night,
Speaker 1: when I got in my bubble bath and you know,
Speaker 1: really got quiet and just really prayed about it, all
Speaker 1: I heard was trust it, because this is a link
Speaker 1: to your larger destiny. So I'm gonna think about it
Speaker 1: over the weekend. But it's that battle of the rational
Speaker 1: mind saying this is too good to be true versus
Speaker 1: something on the inside is saying no, this is It
Speaker 1: may sound crazy, but take that leap of faith. Try
Speaker 1: on those shoes, walk around in them and see if
Speaker 1: it works. And I have the distinct feeling that if
Speaker 1: I do take that leap of faith and try it,
Speaker 1: I think something supernatural is going to happen beyond what
Speaker 1: my rational eyes can see.
Speaker 3: And so I'm not going to say what it is yet.
Speaker 1: But it's been a real battle, and I really feel
Speaker 1: like God, the universe is asking me to come up higher.
Speaker 1: You were in a new season, you were at a
Speaker 1: new level, a new dimension. You have to change your
Speaker 1: thought patterns in order to move forward the way that
Speaker 1: you need to to make these dreams burst out. So
Speaker 1: it's very exciting, but it's scary at the same time.
Speaker 1: But also I think, look at my history. You know,
Speaker 1: God and I have a history of this. So in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, you know, in two months after I'd
Speaker 1: had that miscarriage and I hadn't worked in the industry
Speaker 1: for four and a half years, my master's degree was
Speaker 1: eight years old.
Speaker 3: It was the same thing.
Speaker 1: I got a random call from my dean at Texas
Speaker 1: Tech University, who I hadn't seen in the years, and
Speaker 1: he said, hey, I need someone to teach his public
Speaker 1: relations writing class.
Speaker 3: I remember you were a good writer.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I was advertising and never taking
Speaker 1: a PR class in my life. Do you want to
Speaker 1: do it? Oh, it starts tomorrow. And I took the
Speaker 1: chance and did it, and that led into a seventeen
Speaker 1: year professor career. Well fast forward to that seventeen years
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, the same feeling of you need to
Speaker 1: quit your tenure job to go be an artist.
Speaker 3: Do you have a plan?
Speaker 1: No, you don't, but do it anyway. And so this
Speaker 1: has the same feeling to it. And I feel like
Speaker 1: if I say no to this opportunity and close that door,
Speaker 1: I'm going to miss something. And so I don't have
Speaker 1: the list, I don't have the check check check of
Speaker 1: all the boxes to rationally say why or how it
Speaker 1: will work. But I just feel in my gut, so
Speaker 1: that whole thing of getting quiet, aligning with your higher
Speaker 1: power and listening, even if it sounds outrageously stupid, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to follow that because I've done it before
Speaker 1: and it's worked out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, part of this is, let's talk
Speaker 2: about it. What does the mind tend to do? Right?
Speaker 2: Percent of our thoughts come from or are subconscious, Right,
Speaker 2: But what does that even mean? Right here we are,
Speaker 2: You've got the new book, you've got a book cover,
Speaker 2: you're creating the giveaways. But you've been talking about this book.
Speaker 2: So that means what you've been talking it in. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I mean. What I call talking it in
Speaker 2: is kind of like calling it in, but people don't
Speaker 2: realize they can actually talk it in.
Speaker 1: Yes, and this is a relatively new thing for me
Speaker 1: because you know, I would say things within my mind,
Speaker 1: but then I started hearing more and more messages or
Speaker 1: reading things. That know, you have to speak it out
Speaker 1: loud because when you speak these things out loud that
Speaker 1: you know, My editor, the publisher, they love my book.
Speaker 1: They think it's wildly creative with these ancestor bits. You know,
Speaker 1: all they see is beauty and brilliance when they read it.
Speaker 1: The audience is gonna love it. They're just gonna be
Speaker 1: drawn to that cover on the website or the bookshelf,
Speaker 1: and so I've started saying these.
Speaker 3: Things out loud.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm one of those people in the grocery store.
Speaker 1: If I think of something, I'll be talking to myself.
Speaker 1: So but you know, I believe in that, because I
Speaker 1: believe that the spirit world goes into action when you
Speaker 1: voice these positive, you know, manifesting things out loud. And
Speaker 1: so when I turned the book into my publisher and
Speaker 1: all these negative thoughts started coming up, she's gonna hate it,
Speaker 1: she's gonna want to change everything. I would just kind
Speaker 1: of okay, delete that. I'm going to reject that, and
Speaker 1: then out loud again, just keep repeating, repeating, repeating, over
Speaker 1: and over. She loves it. All she sees is beauty
Speaker 1: and brilliant. She thinks it's wildly creative. And I know
Speaker 1: that she had to say something to the editor. And
Speaker 1: I will give her a props because we were looking
Speaker 1: on the website who her editors were and there was
Speaker 1: a picture of this man and I thought, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't think.
Speaker 3: He's going to like this book very much. So she.
Speaker 1: Was going to go to this other editor who's a
Speaker 1: woman that she's used a lot, but she's unavailable, so
Speaker 1: she has searched out another female editor that she thinks
Speaker 1: will really, you know, get into my book, and so
Speaker 1: she emailed me yesterday and she said she's excited to
Speaker 1: read your book.
Speaker 3: And so then I thought, oh, so the publisher must have.
Speaker 1: Said something to the editor to make the editor excited,
Speaker 1: and that must be something positive. So quit freaking yourself
Speaker 1: out by saying, oh, everybody's gonna hate it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look at what we're talking about, and
Speaker 2: you know we are we are We are really challenging
Speaker 2: ourselves and the population at large right now. Because what
Speaker 2: I mean by challenging it is what's your alternative? So
Speaker 2: what's your alternative to not do? In that? VICKI to
Speaker 2: give up?
Speaker 3: And then where are I going to be? Right?
Speaker 2: And we have some very interesting ways that and language
Speaker 2: we use that mean giving up. See, when you're desperate,
Speaker 2: you finally get to the point where you say, I surrender.
Speaker 2: I'm giving up now. In some cases that's good. If
Speaker 2: you want to become clean and sober, you got a surrender.
Speaker 2: But we're talking about a dream. So I want to
Speaker 2: ask you this clues signs, give me a sign. And
Speaker 2: this happened to me the other day on something I said, God, Universe,
Speaker 2: you're all up there, anybody working around over there hearing me?
Speaker 2: Right now? I need a sign or I'm not going
Speaker 2: to go forward. And it shows up, and I love this.
Speaker 2: Do you know? We even have silly commercials now not
Speaker 2: so silly. There's this woman sits at a computer and
Speaker 2: she's doing aura, she's doing meditations, affirmations. I see the
Speaker 2: money in my back. She's literally doing that. And then
Speaker 2: she picks up her phone and her paycheck was deposited early.
Speaker 2: See this is now reached mainstream television commercial acts.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I did exactly the same thing yesterday, because
Speaker 1: did you I was because you know, I got so
Speaker 1: excited about everything that's going on and talking to that
Speaker 1: man yesterday like whoa you know? And I knew as
Speaker 1: soon as I got off the zoom, I said to God,
Speaker 1: I said, I already know what you want me to do,
Speaker 1: and you're freaking me out. Well, then later the rational
Speaker 1: mind starts working and I said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure about this, and if you don't say something
Speaker 1: to me that is positive that you know I need
Speaker 1: to go toward this, I'm going to reject it. So
Speaker 1: I just it's not an ultimatum necessarily, but just this
Speaker 1: is where I'm at, and I think that's totally fine
Speaker 1: to be vulnerable with your higher power and just say
Speaker 1: I'm a little confused right now. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna sit here and this is what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do until you give me the push. And to me,
Speaker 1: sometimes at push, it's not like a push where you
Speaker 1: know you're being pushed off a cliff. It's just a
Speaker 1: very gentle, little nudge. And I have been experiencing that,
Speaker 1: especially in the last week. You know, work on your bio,
Speaker 1: work on the synopsis, you know, just do this, just
Speaker 1: do that, And all of a sudden, yay. I didn't
Speaker 1: think I was going to have the website ready for today,
Speaker 1: and so it's ready.
Speaker 3: But what you spaid about signs.
Speaker 1: I had gotten This book long title is the World
Speaker 1: is Waiting for You. Embrace your Calling and manifest the
Speaker 1: God dream over your Life by Edwena Finley Dickerson.
Speaker 3: And she's yeah.
Speaker 1: She says something in there that really stuck with me
Speaker 1: about this topic because she said that God, the universe,
Speaker 1: whoever your higher power is, speaks to us and gives
Speaker 1: you a glimpse of your future reality through dreams, visions, signs, prophecies,
Speaker 1: or something that you're just really drawn to. And she
Speaker 1: basically looks at it like you're going to the movies.
Speaker 1: You see the coming attractions of movies that will come
Speaker 1: eventually somewhere in the future. And she said, this is
Speaker 1: a reality. It's in the spirit world, and you have
Speaker 1: to draw it in, you know, like you were saying,
Speaker 1: call it in, believe in it, let it take root,
Speaker 1: and speak that over yourself, prophesy that over yourself. And
Speaker 1: so I've always been into signs, and you know, oh,
Speaker 1: this was a really cool dream that you know, told
Speaker 1: me something. But I don't think I've ever let that
Speaker 1: down in my spirit so deeply that I'm like that
Speaker 1: to reality, right, And so I think moving forward, when
Speaker 1: I get those, I'm going to say, Okay, that's a glimpse.
Speaker 1: God has given me a glimpse of what my future
Speaker 1: is somewhere in the quantum future out there. And I've
Speaker 1: had a couple of dreams about really great book sales.
Speaker 1: I had this really cool dream separately that just it
Speaker 1: was kind of vague, but it gave me this really
Speaker 1: just feel good feeling about some sort of creative community
Speaker 1: that's coming out of the book, and so whether it's
Speaker 1: a stage.
Speaker 3: For performance or something on screen or film, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But that's one of my secret dreams is having this
Speaker 1: community and be able to work on these larger projects
Speaker 1: where it has to be beyond me and on the
Speaker 1: turned manuscript into my publisher, which is so vulnerable, you know,
Speaker 1: and whenever you write something or create something and give
Speaker 1: your baby over to somebody else, that is such a
Speaker 1: vult time. But I really wanted to tap into my mom,
Speaker 1: since you know, the whole story is about me and
Speaker 1: her and our relationship throughout, and that's why it's in
Speaker 1: the subtitle A Tenacious Mother Daughter bond, I said, you know,
Speaker 1: if you can just give me a sign, because I
Speaker 1: was hearing kind of vague things in my mind that
Speaker 1: she was saying. Well, that evening, i'd kind of forgotten
Speaker 1: about it, and I happened to look at my front door,
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, is that a robin red breast,
Speaker 1: which I don't see very often here? And we have
Speaker 1: lots of pigeons and doves and a hawk or two
Speaker 1: every once in a while. And so I kind of
Speaker 1: quietly opened the door because it was on a fence.
Speaker 1: I saw my front door and the sun was going down,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to see, is that little tummy really read? Well,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, another one flew up. A second
Speaker 1: one flew up and sat and they were both had
Speaker 1: these beautiful red breasts. And so that's one of her
Speaker 1: signs to me, is anything read? And I thought, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is great. You know, we're both into it. She
Speaker 1: loves it, and that's a great sign. So I, you know,
Speaker 1: believe in those things. Believe in them and and take
Speaker 1: rive in your spirit.
Speaker 2: I absolutely agree with you. You know. I moved from
Speaker 2: one coast to the other. But when I was on
Speaker 2: the West coast, living in the Seattle area not too
Speaker 2: long ago, I attracted ravens. Now Linda would debate with me.
Speaker 2: She'd say they were crows. I said, Linda, they're the
Speaker 2: size of a turkey. That is not a crow. And okay,
Speaker 2: So I had this relationship. But then I move and
Speaker 2: ravens are not They're not like all over in the
Speaker 2: place like that. Yeah, except about two weeks ago I
Speaker 2: got this this over outside the window, little marching along
Speaker 2: and you could tell a raven they're bigger crows they're big,
Speaker 2: they're big clothes, or crows come with like geese. But
Speaker 2: here's this little raven and he's marching up and down.
Speaker 2: See because I needed a sign. Now, I wouldn't have
Speaker 2: gotten a cardinal if it was my mom. I would
Speaker 2: have gotten a cardinal if it was my mom. But
Speaker 2: let's talk about trusting, because when you call these things in,
Speaker 2: you better dang believe it. So let's talk about trusting
Speaker 2: that inner fire and what happens when that thing starts
Speaker 2: to like diminish a little bit, because it happens for
Speaker 2: all of us.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, you know a lot of these
Speaker 1: dreams just don't happen overnight, and you know that's we've
Speaker 1: been working on them. And so, like I said, I've
Speaker 1: been working on this book for a year and probably
Speaker 1: two weeks. Yeah, a year and two weeks. But if
Speaker 1: you look at the long vision of this, I quit
Speaker 1: my job in twenty fifteen, so this has been eleven
Speaker 1: years of working trying to get something going.
Speaker 3: And yeah, this is really concrete.
Speaker 1: And so I ran track in junior high and high school,
Speaker 1: and one thing the coaches would always say is don't
Speaker 1: quit before that finish line, you know, because some kids
Speaker 1: would get close to the finish line see it, and
Speaker 1: they kind of start slowing down, and then other runners
Speaker 1: would pass them up. Right, And so I have gone,
Speaker 1: I've gone into my mind and think, you know, if
Speaker 1: I had succumbed to those negative thoughts and thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, You're publisher is going to hate this book,
Speaker 1: So yeah, you probably did waste a year or you
Speaker 1: know that call that I had with that guy yesterday,
Speaker 1: sure your mind. I literally I see words in my mind,
Speaker 1: and I was seeing trust, the word trust. But if
Speaker 1: I poo pooed that and said no, this is a scam,
Speaker 1: forget it, just reject it, maybe you're shutting the door
Speaker 1: on part of your destiny. And so I think that,
Speaker 1: like I said, the universe and I think this is
Speaker 1: part of the Year of the Horse. Actually not just
Speaker 1: for me, but for everybody. Yeah, fire horse. I feel
Speaker 1: like the universe is asking us to come up higher,
Speaker 1: believe bigger, and part of that is having to voice
Speaker 1: these very positive affirmations over ourselves about our dreams and
Speaker 1: pull them into fruition. I believe that with every fiber
Speaker 1: of my being.
Speaker 2: I do too, and you know it shows up in
Speaker 2: the strangest ways. But this is the message for today
Speaker 2: that we're getting across. You know what is it? Don't
Speaker 2: quit before what There's a million of these right, yes,
Speaker 2: but when you're around scientists, people like Bell Labs, I
Speaker 2: was immersed with these people that given up was not
Speaker 2: even like a word a hello. No.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But you think about the Thomas Edison's of the world, right,
Speaker 2: You think about the people that are out there now,
Speaker 2: some of the creative things they're doing. We have the
Speaker 2: sense though that they just popped out are their mom's
Speaker 2: womb one day and they created these things. But they
Speaker 2: had to go through trial and error. It's not how
Speaker 2: you get through the good days, VICKI, it's how you
Speaker 2: get through the not so good days that determines what's
Speaker 2: going to come next.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: And speaking of Thomas Edison, I've heard this before and
Speaker 1: I looked it up. He has a quote, I haven't failed.
Speaker 1: I just found ten thousand ways that a light bulb
Speaker 1: doesn't work. And he said, our greatest weakness lies in
Speaker 1: giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always
Speaker 1: just try one more time. And so that is so true.
Speaker 1: And I truly believe that everything is a piece of
Speaker 1: the puzzle, and he may say, oh, well that didn't work,
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna throw that puzzle piece away. No,
Speaker 1: it's a part of the puzzle that's going to inform
Speaker 1: you in the future for the next stuff. So you're
Speaker 1: always learning in what may seem like a failure is
Speaker 1: not a failure because you've at least got an experience
Speaker 1: and knowledge. So then you can go back to that
Speaker 1: and say, oh, I learned this and let's put this
Speaker 1: into this next piece. So I am a firm believer in.
Speaker 2: That I know, and you know. Look, all of this
Speaker 2: boils down to you sharing your journey, you sharing your success,
Speaker 2: but also along the way you've really shared your trial
Speaker 2: and tribulations. Thank you for bringing this message. I want
Speaker 2: to ask you two things. One, how do people find
Speaker 2: out about the book about you? And what's your personal message?
Speaker 2: What do you want to leave us?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like, don't put that you know, the
Speaker 1: old snake skin. Last year was the year of the snake.
Speaker 1: We've shed that skin. Don't go and pull it out
Speaker 1: and put it back on. It's tattered, it's worned, has
Speaker 1: holes in it. You don't need it. And so if
Speaker 1: those negative thoughts come in to say, well, this isn't working.
Speaker 1: I doubt you know, I think this is going to fail.
Speaker 1: Turn that around, put the opposite in your mind and
Speaker 1: speak it out. Yes, people are going to love my gifts.
Speaker 1: People need what I'm offering in the world, and so
Speaker 1: let's shine forward. You know, sometimes people will say fail forward.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say shine forward because you're learning every
Speaker 1: step of the way, so don't give up.
Speaker 3: Keep going.
