Slade Roberson, Part 2 - Cracking the Code of Willpower

The totality of your influence isn't just one piece. It's an accumulation over a great deal of time​. - Slade Roberson

In Part 2 of of my conversation with Slade Roberson of Shift Your Spirits, we go deeper into the impact having a stroke had on Slade. As he struggled to regain his speech and rehabilitate his body, his livelihood, his way of interacting with the world and the person he knew himself to be changed dramatically.

Ultimately, it's up to us to alchemize the darkness that accompanies life-altering challenges and use them for our own positive transformation. During the conversation, Slade comes to realize that with the stroke experience, he cracked a part of himself that ultimately allowed him to become the prolific creator he is today. That  and, of course, the discipline he honed learning to code during his recovery.

From talking about the power of will, self-control and focus, the conversation leads to an a ha moment we both had when listening to Frank Butterfield (the entity Paul) during Slade's Shift Your Spirits episode: About Channeling with Frank Butterfield
