- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Go sit in a quiet place and have a conversation.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: And uh I have to always be ready.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: And this is a pop-up bonus podcast.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: It's not gonna be very long.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: I'm going to visit gossip again.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: Toxic people and gossip.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: I put those two in the same category.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna speak on that just briefly.
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: I remember some years ago my sister and I worked at a private institution school, private school, and we kind of kept to ourselves.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: We wasn't the kind of people that was all out and about and all over the place, you know.
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: We kind of kept to ourselves.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: So, you know, you got this little talk, you know, they they the co-workers, which was another family of of workers and and their friends, you know, they had got the um got this rumor out that every time someone would come in the door that was new, they would say, Oh, you better watch them sisters, you better watch them, you better watch them.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: So before a person could come in, a brand new person coming in, you had that one employee that will get to that person, or people, they would get to that person and poison their mind against my sister, the two of us.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: And we didn't understand why.
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: We kept to ourselves, we didn't bother anybody, you know, we just didn't.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: And and we were church-going women, you know, we loved the Lord and you know, so on and so forth.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: So, you know, as soon as someone would come in the door, they would get to them, you better watch those sisters.
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: And the next thing you know, people were rolling their eyes, booking their eyes, and my sister, we look at each other like, what's the problem, you know?
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: You know what the problem was?
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: The coworkers, other co-workers had gotten to them and just poisoned their mind.
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: And if you are a weak person, if you are a weak-minded person, let me tell you, if your mind is weak, you'll fall for that trap.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Even on your job right now, I don't know what kind of job you got.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: But if you are a weak-minded person and someone calm to you about someone else, that's when you need to shut it down immediately.
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: And if you are the one who started the gossip almost definitely, you need to stop it.
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: Because you're gonna reap what you plant.
- 3:54SPEAKER_00: But anyway, back to my sister, the two of us working at the school.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: This guy had started, I never forget it.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: His name was uh Roland.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: I'll just say that, I won't say his last name.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: And he was looking and and we can we didn't understand.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: And so we pulled the guy aside one day and we said, What's what's going on?
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: What what's the problem, you know?
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: And he just told us, they said, We well, we need to watch you, you and your sister, you guys are conniving, you're sleeping with the supervisor and the manager.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: What what wait wait what?
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: What?
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: We we couldn't believe what we were hearing.
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: You see how easy it is when people tell one lie, then they start building more and more and more and more lies on a person.
- 4:47SPEAKER_00: That person cannot even be thinking about them, but as soon as someone comes in the door, you already poisoned their mind.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: And I say again, if that person is weak minded, because you if you are weak minded, you're going to fall for the trap.
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: I've seen many people do it.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: And I see things now.
- 5:06SPEAKER_00: I see things now.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I'm like, I'm the kind of person that stays to myself.
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: I don't bother anybody.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: I like I love my own company.
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: I'm an introvert.
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: I really am.
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: I like being to myself.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: I don't like being in the company of a lot of people, and just is what it is.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: I I'm I I got a radio show and everything, and uh a popular podcast, but at the end of the day, I I love my own company, I love it, you know.
- 5:33SPEAKER_00: Give me a chance to talk to the Lord, you know.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: You have to watch a person that anytime someone says to you, You better watch her, or you better watch him, that is the person that you need to watch.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: Because if they could come to you and tell you, you better watch this person, you better watch that person, you better watch them.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: And my sister, the two of us, man, they had it that we were sleeping with the manager.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: I was, I guess I was sleeping with the supervisor.
- 6:07SPEAKER_00: And my sister was sleeping with the manager, I guess.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: And it it was just wretched rumors.
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: We, Christian women now, Christian women that loved the Lord, that loved our church, loved our pastor, and loved people overall.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: And to have that kind of light lingering over our heads and saying that you better watch them, they will try to get you fired, and all the all the things above, just a bunch of lies.
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: And so we always have to pray extra, extra hard at their job, at their school, because we were faced with just jealousy.
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: Because at the end of the day, that's all it is, is jealousy.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: That's all it is.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: I've seen people, they were to me what I thought was the sweetest people ever.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: And then suddenly they're bucking and rolling their eyes, and I'm like, oh my god, what truck hit her?
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: Or what truck hit him?
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: It is so easy to fall for a fall in a trap if you're not careful.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: So I'm making this bonus podcast.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: This is a pop-up bonus, letting you know just to be careful.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: Be careful.
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: If you are a toxic gossiper, then you need to stop that.
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: You know, you need to really, really stop that because you're gonna reap what you sow, you're gonna reap what you plant.
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: You plant something in the ground, it's going to come up.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: And it comes up when you least expect it.
- 7:49SPEAKER_00: So the next time if someone comes to you with some garbage about someone else, by all means, shut it down.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: ASAP, shut it down as quickly as possible.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: Because people are jealous of people.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: You just it is what it is.
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: It boils down to nothing but purity jealousy.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: Just like at this school with my sister, the two of us, people were just jealous of us because we stayed to ourselves.
- 8:18SPEAKER_00: We didn't like being around a lot of people, but we were friendly, cordial, but at the same time, we stayed to ourselves.
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: And sometimes a pair uh people don't understand a person like that.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: I'm a very friendly person, but I love my own company.
- 8:34SPEAKER_00: I don't like being in the company of a bunch of people.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: It just is what it is.
- 8:39SPEAKER_00: I don't.
- 8:40SPEAKER_00: But it doesn't mean that I'm a bad person, you know.
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: So I wanted to make this bonus podcast hoping that it will help someone.
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: If you know a person right now, if you just start a job and someone comes up to you and tell you that you need to watch that person or watch this person or watch that person, I'm telling you right now, that is the person that you need to watch.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: That person.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: You watch them because they bring that bone to you just to see testing you, practically testing you.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: And it's so sad, it's really sad that you cannot even a person cannot even get into a job good or get into a position good without a person coming to them, talking bad about another person.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: And the next thing you know, for no reason at all, you're looking at that person out the side of your eye.
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: The e I call it the evil eye.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: I call it the evil eye.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: Because, oh my god, it's just really bad.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: You know, you don't have to be done done anything or did anything to people for them just practically straight out hate you.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: And I've dealt with that uh a good 70% of my life.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: I don't know why, because I'm a nice person, you know.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: I'm a good friend to a person.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: It was only one person on my job that I they took up with she she died a few months ago.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: Her name was Adeline.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: I don't generally take to people on my job, but we bind a good friendship and we got along so beautifully.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: So when she passed away, I was hurt because again, I don't take to people very easily.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: I'm uh as I told you, I'm I'm an introvert, so I don't take to people very, very easy.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: But with her, I don't know, it was something about her.
- 10:42SPEAKER_00: And we became fast friends, you know, I would visit her when she got sick, you know, I would help her out financially.
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: I mean, I would just do a lot of things to help her when she got really, really, really sick.
- 10:53SPEAKER_00: So when she died, I was just, and I'm still hurt by that.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: I still find myself crying sometimes, you know.
- 10:59SPEAKER_00: And that was a friend on the job, you know.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: But I think now looking back, God wanted me to be her friend because he knew her time on this earth was very limited.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: See, God knows things that we don't know because he made us.
- 11:15SPEAKER_00: So I uh yeah, yeah, that was a purpose behind that.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: But long story short, short story long, do not let another person come to you with garbage about another person.
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: Before you can get in the door, people are already talking about someone.
- 11:35SPEAKER_00: Got you then looking at that person.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: I mean, think about think about how ridiculous that is.
- 11:40SPEAKER_00: I've had people say to me, I'm glad I got to know you a little bit better because people said this about you, that about you, you're weird, you're crazy, you're you think you're cute.
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: I mean, oh God, he said so many things about me.
- 11:55SPEAKER_00: So many you know, in different jobs, not just one job.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: And the person pulled me aside one day, they said, I'm so glad I got to know you.
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: Because I I was believing the things that people were saying, you know, about you.
- 12:10SPEAKER_00: You have to watch her, and she's weird, she's crazy, you know.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: I am a little weird, I I I'll admit.
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: I am a bit weird, I can't help it.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: It's me.
- 12:24SPEAKER_00: So I just want to share that with you.
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: I hope it helps someone.
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: I really do.

- 12:38SPEAKER_00: I hope this 12 minutes, 13 minutes or so really uh helps someone out there.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: If you're starting on a job and you are new to that job, or if you're starting in a position, be careful to when people come to you with garbage about another person.
- 12:55SPEAKER_00: Please be careful.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: Because if you are not careful before long, you would be looking at that person out the corner of your eye with your nose turning up for no reason at all.
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: God bless.
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: Take care, be safe, have a great day.
