  SPEAKER_00: It's your girl Thin Renee here, and I'm back with another episode of the Black Sheep Leadership Podcast.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: This is a no-fluff, no filter, no fear podcast that's for the underdogs, the misfits, and the black sheeps that's ready to level up in any economy.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Around here, we don't do excuses, we move in straight strategy.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: Alright?
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: So listen, if you're sensitive, easily triggered, addicted to comfort, waiting to be saved, this is not your safe space.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: But if you're ready to execute, evolve, and level up, you in the right room.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: Alright.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: So let's jump right into this episode.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Well, first and foremost, I want to say um happy resurrection weekend to any of the believers out there that come across this podcast.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: I know most of the time in the Eastern religion, or excuse me, the Western religion space, they call it Easter Sunday.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: But if you've done your research, you know that Easter is a pagan holiday.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: I don't necessarily get down with a lot of pagan holidays, um, but it is a resurrection weekend, and I wanted to come on and drop this bonus episode um for you guys because as a black sheep, one of our I would say top three things that we or challenges that we face is betrayal.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, but today I'm going to be talking about the Judas at the table, betrayal, discernment, and divine promotion.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: Why the closest ones to you can hurt you, but at the same time push you forward.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so grab the pen and paper, y'all, because I'm gonna be dropping some gems on you guys.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but like I was saying, you know, one of the things that we go through a lot in life, and it really don't get me wrong, guys.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Some betrayal, as you will talk about today, is really all for your setup to level up, right?
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: But as you'll hear me talk about this a lot on my on the episodes when I say it's all about the perspective, it's all about the perspective.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Because remember, you must always look at yourself first and foremost, you are a multidimensional being.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm not gonna get too deep with it, but just follow me, okay.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Multi-dimensional dimensional being is when I what I when I in the context that I'm saying is number one, you will see, right?
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: You came from a seed, you came from the seed of a man, and it mixed with the woman, and the woman birthed you, right?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: So you will see that's one level, okay.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: The second level is you are also ground, right?
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: What do I mean by that?
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Think about when some people go in in different environments, they shift the whole mood.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: It was their aura, but that's like their ground, that's like their energy.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so you are also soil, you are ground.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: So when certain people come around you, they grow, right?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: When some people come around you, you irritate their demons.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Because you got the light on you, and the third level is spirit, okay?
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's spirit, so that's what I mean.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: And when I talk to you guys about perspective, a lot of things is all things are all about perspective.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: If you can change the perspective to remove the sting of a lot of things that happen to you, you will see how it actually worked out for your benefit.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so let's get into this episode.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: Betrayal.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Betrayal doesn't come from strangers.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, it doesn't come from people who don't know you, it's impossible.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: It can't even be called betrayal by that at that time.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: It comes from people who sat at your table, people who laughed with you, they broke bread with you, they knew your vision, and still they chose to betray you.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: And if you've ever been through that, you already know that kind of pain, it is different.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: But here's the part most people don't talk about sometimes your betrayal is not for your destruction, it's for your construction, for your promotion.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let's get into this segment one.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: The truth about betrayal, let's be real, y'all.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: We already know that betrayal can only come from someone close.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's what makes it betrayal.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: A stranger didn't break you, a stranger didn't confuse you, and a stranger didn't make you question yourself.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: It was someone you trusted, someone you gave access to, someone who knew a lot about you.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: So the first thing I want you guys to understand is betrayal requires proximity.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: Betrayal can only happen with people that's in your circle, and I continue to lay that on you because, as black sheep, we depending on what stage you're in in life, you might still feel like, oh, if I keep it real with everybody, they'll keep it real with me.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: But when you live long enough and go through enough crap, you realize some people, uh, first and foremost, you being real, which is being a good, decent person, or treating people like you want to be treated, sometimes people take that as your weakness because you're showing them their cards, your cards, okay.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: But what I want you guys to understand is that when you get to that certain place where you're like your actions is gonna show me everything about you, you're gonna continue to be who you are, but you're more reluctant to who comes close to you, who's in your court, right?
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Who knows what about you?
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: You become more wise, and this is why I'm telling you ahead of time, depending on where you are, even if you have already peeped these things out, you need to continue to be diligent.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: Because just because you had one betrayal, that doesn't mean that's at the end of the line, right?
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: That don't mean it's like a one and done.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: I wish it was, but today we're talking about how you can change that perspective on it.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: But not only that, I'm gonna be dropping some things in so that you'll know how to pick up certain revelations about people that will give you more of an insight to know that, yeah, it's a high statistic that they might do some shady stuff, right?
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: So, again, betrayal requires proximity, they gotta be close to you, and that's why it hurts so deeply because it's not about what they did, it's about what you told them, like what you shared, it's about who it was.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you something, let me tell you something to every black sheep that is listening to this episode.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: Just because you got bit by a snake doesn't mean that's your fate, you didn't become the pain, you don't have to become the betrayal or revengeful, and you don't even have to become the wound, you don't get bitter, you choose to become better, and that's why you're listening to a podcast like this.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's why you're listening to this episode, you're not sitting in the seat of the bitter and the scornful, you're gonna get better.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: So let's go a little bit deeper.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: In the story of Jesus, right?
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking about this on Resurrection Weekend, Judas betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: But here's what most people miss.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I'm a I'm a spiritual woman, but one thing about me, I've always loved history behind the what.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: I don't just take what someone is saying and then just run with that.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: I like to do the research on things, okay.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: I've always told you guys in my book, The Misfit Uh, 33 Degrees to Misfit Mastery.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: One of the laws in there is do your own research, do your own research so that you can come to your own understanding about what it is because we can come to the same understanding, but you still have to catch on in a different way.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: This is why you have to do your own research, okay?
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: But check this out what some people miss about Judas in some of the teachings, Judas was considered a friend.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, now I know some of y'all like, well, duh.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, guess what?
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about the whole time he was still considered a friend, and they had been seeing him do shady things, okay.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: He was not considered, like in a lot of books now, he's always considered as the betrayer, okay, but in certain teachings, he is considered a friend, and let me tell you why.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: Because even though Judas betrayed him, check this out, y'all.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: The betrayal was part of the process.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, come on now.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: See, Judas didn't stop the mission, he triggered the next level of it.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: See, y'all, this is why, really, and I don't I don't condone this, but this is something that'll give you juice on the inside from people that didn't betray you.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: Then you ever you really you ever had somebody betray you and they hop online and they say little slick things online and all of that, right?
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what, guys?
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: When you can understand that their betrayal was the that was set up a part of the process to trigger off my next level, you can get happy about it if you can take the stay, if you can take the sting up out of the betrayal and see, dang man, that triggered my next level.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: And guess what?
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now that you showed your hand and show who you really are, you one less snake in the grass that I gotta worry about.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: This is why you can rejoice when people show you who they are.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's gonna hurt.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: That sink that sting is gonna hurt a little bit, but if you can just take the sting out of it after you didn't felt the pain, uh right, you felt it, you took the shot, but after that, if you can take the sting out of it, like how they do in a jungle when a snake bite them, they suck it out and they spit it on the ground.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Because you're not gonna affect the way I am, you're not gonna stop my mission and my process.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: So let me show you how that crap you did.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: You thought you got out on me, you thought you was doing it big, big shit kicking it.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: But see, what you must understand is they triggered your level up.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: Because if Judas didn't do what he did without the betrayal, there is no crucifixion, they couldn't have came and got him without crucifixion, there would be no resurrection.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: So, what does that mean for you?
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: See, some people in your life, they're not meant to stay, they are meant to shift you, they are meant to wake you up, to expose something, to reveal something, and most importantly, to force you in your next level.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, they are there to show you.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: See, this is what you guys must understand: the levels that you're going to, even if you say, you know what, Athena, I don't want to be some millionaire, I just want to make sure my family's good in a safe neighborhood, excellent or high-quality education and food and all of these things, and you come up and you might say, The amount of money that I need to live where I'm at to be really a top-tier for what I want to do, I need to be making$85,000.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: So, when that person does what they did, and you having a good heart like you have, they had to reveal themselves.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because what you must understand is God is never going to finance fakery and tomfoolery with fake friends, even if you still thinking they're your friends, God not gonna finance it.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: Some people like to say God ain't gonna bless no mess, but they say that in the context when it's somebody you know messing around or something like that.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: But one thing you must understand, God is not gonna finance no foolery and no fakery, He will literally hold your blessing back until you get rid of them folks.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: But here's the thing ain't nobody gonna get in the way of the big man mission, he'll snatch, he'll snatch them people up out of your life, no matter how he try to not not try, no matter how he cook it up for them to get on, he's gonna get it done.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: So when you can start thinking about it, it's to force you into your next level.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: See if you if if some of the things we didn't we went through, if we didn't go through them, we wouldn't even see life the way we see it.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: So one of my um life childhood dreams was to purchase a home for someone that had been there for me from day one.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in my dream, I didn't know, but I didn't believe at that time that I would be either in business or career or career, but I knew that I always liked the business world, and I begged and begged and hustled and bustled.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: I begged who did I beg the creator, the creator, the one that designed everything.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: If you're gonna beg anybody, right?
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I begged and begged, and guys, do you know the year that I finally hit six figures?
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: That person passed away, they passed away, and you know, I have definitely changed my thought process about it, but because it was someone so close to me, it's definitely a stinger to me, you know.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: But God had to show me, and I'm just being vulnerable with you guys at this time.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: I've been very transparent, he had to show me that if that person wanted to die and I was just sending them all kind of cash and money and buying new things, the people who don't that's around that person, they would have been enjoying fruits that God was not going to give them access to.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: So you must understand if you do not if you do not get rid of the people that God continue to tell you to either get rid of or boundaries.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: Don't get me wrong, guys.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Certain people gotta snatch them up out of there, but for the most part, you know you really have free will, and what those people will do, they will hold you back.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: You can't even get you, can't even step into your next level of blessings because you got these people tagging along with you, and sometimes you think you go to the next level with those people.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what happened?
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: You don't even get to keep the level up.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: Some of these people, every time something going on, they are a common denominator, okay?
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: But God had to show me that, and even to this day, like I say, it'll have a stink on it, but I got a clear perspective about it because God is not playing about the treasures of his people and specifically of the black sheep, because you never gave up, you paid such a high price, and then when you go out your way and say, I want to build something for the posity and the forward movement of humanity, do you really think God is gonna let you pour your your pearls on swine?
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: You think he's gonna let you share your diamonds with people that don't even care and don't even uh didn't even believe in you?
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, he's not.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: You can have the people or you can have your purpose because a lot of times that's the main thing that really um holds us back from going to where we need to go.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now, let's bring this betrayal in today because it's still happening, it may not be for 30 pieces of silver, but people are still betraying others for money, attention, opportunities, status, and convenience.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: See, you must understand that people will always trade loyalty for what they think is more valuable.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: See, I did a I did an episode about stop spending your realness on fake people, and I broke it down to you because your real is not somebody else real.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, your real is not somebody else real, and real pretty much comes to what are your values, what do you value?
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: Some people value security, safety, right?
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Other people value variety, flexibility, some people value honesty and generosity.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, it depends on what a person values, and so you must understand, guys, that a person they may not betray you for money, but a lot of times it will be money.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, they'll start acting real funny about some cash, you don't even be knowing what's going on.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: They had an opportunity where they had to choose the the relationship, the friendship, or whatever, or they're gonna choose that other thing, and they chose that other thing.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: Attention, people do this all the time in so many different ways.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever been rolling with somebody in the inception of their idea?
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: And as soon as they started getting attention, they just stopped dealing with you.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: And it's so funny because a lot of those same people be the first ones to say, Oh, you know, when I started growing, people didn't want to hang out with me, or people was doing this, but indeed, sometimes it is those people that's they stopped because of the attention, your loyalty, your friendship had nothing to do with none of that.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_00: They wanted the attention on them.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: This is how we come to understand that a lot of people you've been supporting as a black sheep, they've been slick competing and comparing with you.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's why when y'all was Doing business or growing y'all thing together when they got on, they didn't support you, they didn't bring you on the stage or nothing.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: They went and found strangers, and then they'll act like, Oh, I had to get strangers to support me because I didn't know anybody.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what, guys?
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: They were competing and comparing with you.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: Why would they bring you on the stage?
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: See, some people feel like any little thing they do, if it puts you on, they did all the work, and we know they lying, but that's how they think, right?
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: So, opportunities.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever known somebody that had access to something and they've never said anything to you about it?
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you got your business together, you standing on business, you pump, you've been in the game, whatever it is.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: They'll never introduce you to nothing.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: Because they feel like if they give you any upper left upper leverage on them, it's a done deal.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_00: Status and convenience.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so these are the things that people, you know, they'll betray that loyalty over because they think it's more valuable.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_00: You must understand that sometimes you were the never you were never the problem.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: They just value something else more than they valued you.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's all it is.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this is where we separate surface thinking from black sheep thinking.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, people will set up traps, right?
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: Because there are some really horrible betrayal moments of betrayal as well.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: You read about them or you hear these crime stories.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I just be like, wow, I can only thank God, you know, and I hope that you as well, or whoever you believe in, because black sheep, you know for a fact, if you don't believe nothing else that I say on this podcast, you know if you resonate as a black sheep, we have been way too trusting, way too trusting in our life and in our journey.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of people had traps that was gonna set us up because people will lie to you, they will try to manipulate situations against you.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_00: But here's the truth: what a lot of people don't realize is especially when you resonate with being a black sheep, what they meant for your evil, it will still work out for your good.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I'm telling you, that's why I always talk to you guys about tapping into your purpose.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_00: Because when you tap into your purpose and you start building something on that level, you're aligned with something greater, you are moving with intention.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_00: Every opposition, even opposition, it becomes it can become an acceleration because the enemy, whether you call it the ops, distractions, negativity, they don't always realize it, but they're pushing pushing you into position.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: See, sometimes all of these things think of them like an irritant, right?
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever went to a oh been working somewhere at a job, and the job was okay, you know, you didn't have any problem, but it was this one person that just got on your last nerve.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_00: No matter what you try to do, you try to avoid them, go the other way, work early, get off late, turn your work in.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_00: You all it always seems to come back around to that person.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_00: So, what does it do?
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: Man, you start to try to do one of three things.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: Number one, make sure you on your P's and Q's, you crossing your T's and dying all the I's right.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: You checking the checker, you making sure, right?
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because you don't want them to say nothing to you.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: Next, you'll start looking for a job.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: You start looking for a job, you like, man.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: Uh-uh, I ain't got time.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: This some bull crap.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm about to make a move.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: You get some activation, you like I'm about to make a move.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: You start, you start thinking about all the stuff that had already been going on, but before you had this irritation, you had it on engine reserve.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: See, but sometimes your enemy can be, or your opposition can be that octane that help you put the metal pedal to the metal, give it all gas, no breaks.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: See, so when you can start using them for the fuel, that's one thing I always like about 50 Cent.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_00: I will say, he knows how to transmute that energy on his one song.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: I believe it's Get Richard Trying.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_00: He said, I need you for the hate, I need your hate so I can use it for energy to win.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_00: Man, that's a killer line.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: That's a killer line.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: Some people that even with their bodies and everything, I remember it was a show called My Revenge Body.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: You can look at these things and change them for something good for yourself, and that's what a lot of times they do.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_00: But the third thing you might do is, guys, you might say, you know what, let me go ahead and take this course, let me go ahead and take this course real quick, man, so I can level up and get me a new position.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_00: I ain't got time for this, man.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you start talking, you start making all types of moves.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: Because of that opposition, okay.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: But here's the deal, here's the part that matters, guys.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to understand.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: Betrayal doesn't just hurt.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: This is what you really need to understand about betrayal.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, the damage of it.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: This is the real damage of betrayal.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_00: Betrayal doesn't just hurt, it disrupts.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_00: See, that's what the enemy wants to do.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_00: He wants to disrupt you, he wants to slow you down.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is why I want you to start learning how to transmute the energy and be able to push forward, right?
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_00: Transmute the energy and push forward.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, because the opposite side of that is he wants it to disrupt you.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_00: Some people lose days, weeks, months, even years trying to recover after a betrayal because it can knock you out the game.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about you can get cold, cocked, TKO in this bitch when it comes to betrayal.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: You ever been betrayals betrayed so bad you can't do nothing but do the ugly cry.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_00: And have you ever been betrayed so bad you can't even get nothing out?
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: You can do the ugly face with the ugly cry, but you can't even get no noise out while you sliding down the wall, guys.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is traumatic betrayal, and it's understandable how some people can take that time off.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: Some people leave cities, they just gotta get in the city, y'all.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_00: They just gotta get up out of there, they don't want nothing to remind them of that event.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_00: They quit their dreams, they give up on a lot of stuff, depending on what type of betrayal it was, and some people shut down emotionally.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_00: Betrayal is very serious, okay.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_00: Some people they just never fully recover, but the real damage of betrayal is not the act, it's the delay.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_00: This is why I'm telling you guys if you can take that sting out of it, let that sting be turn that sting into your octane.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_00: See, they wanted to sting you, so to paralyze you a little bit, like, oh man, you ain't hardly moving.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_00: They wanted you to slow down, stop doing what you're doing.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: Because remember, betrayals are coming to let you know they are an indicator that you're on the right path.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of times, when you start having trouble and disruptors in your life, obviously, sometimes it is things that we need to fix, but it's also letting you know that the eyes and lights are on you, and if you need to tighten up, tighten on up, it's gonna work out for your better because you're not all bad, we all need correction and improvements to go to the next level because the gift of passing one level is the next level, and each level has new devils, okay?
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_00: So let's talk about how there's things that you can kind of observe about people when I was talking to you earlier about giving you the insight or giving you some keys so you can have a little insight about people because nobody knows everything except the creator.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you something, God has blessed us with a lot of gifts, and discernment is one thing, guys um, discernment, and if you don't know what discernment is, check out the uh episode that we just did so you can get the full breakdown of what discernment is, okay.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_00: But discernment is like a power source, it's like an energy, it's like an inner insight that you get about certain people, right?
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_00: And certain things, okay.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_00: Like when you say, I don't think I need to go that way, or it's something about them.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_00: You are discerning something about their spirit because your spirit is giving you indicators that something's not going on.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_00: So let's check, let's get into this quick recap on discernment.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_00: Before the betrayal happened, there were signs, you felt it, you probably noticed behaviors, I'm sure you saw inconsistencies, but what did you do?
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_00: You explained it away.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_00: What you must understand is energy do not lie, people do.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_00: This is why discernment matters, okay?
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: Because guys, you gotta understand that when you get these different energy shifts about people, it don't have to always be betrayal, but a lot of times, if it's something back to back when you have a communication with them and you notice it's not that way with everybody else, something's not right, something is right.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_00: This is why discernment matters, and if you like I said, guys, if you haven't listened to the discernment episode, go back and listen to that because that right there, listen, that's gonna put you on a whole nother level about dealing with people in general.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_00: Because, like I told you guys, sometimes after some people have been betrayed, they shut all the way down, they don't even want to be bothered no more, they miss out on their blessings because they just can't find their way to open up to people.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_00: But when you get stung multiple times, regardless if you feel like I don't know how, you should know there's something that you're doing to continue to especially a lot of times betrayal will happen in the same format, okay?
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_00: So, for an example, where someone you thought you could trust betrayed you, right?
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then it's like, well, dang, how do they how do they do it?
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_00: It was because they had some information about you, so that every time it's some information.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_00: So, what is that telling you?
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you shouldn't tell people all of the information about you that would that would eventually come back to hurt you because it's also an eye-opener for yourself, okay.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_00: Now, let's address the elephant in the room: revenge versus release.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, I get it, y'all.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_00: After betrayal, you want to clap back, you want to respond so bad to let them know it's not a problem for you to stand on business, and that is human.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_00: But let me give you something that's higher.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need revenge because life has consequences already built in.
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_00: See what people sow, they're gonna reap it anyway.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_00: That's why it be funny.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_00: It that's why it be funny when people try to make and brag about what they did to you.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_00: Guys, have you ever dealt with people where they literally was pretty much mocking you because they betrayed you?
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever had somebody that mocked you because you tried to come back and make it right?
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_00: You trying to be the bigger person, like you know what, dog.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what happened, but what's going on, man?
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_00: Let's work it out.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_00: They turned around and laughed at you like you was a punk B, right?
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_00: So you wanted to give them some, you wanted to show them this ain't that.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_00: But like I said, guys, let me give you something higher.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_00: People will always reap what they sow, you don't even have to manage that.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_00: Let God handle it, let the universe handle it, let life handle it because there is no better response than elevation.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's another thing, too, y'all.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_00: Some people really just mad at you because everything they threw at you, you use it for your level up, and you've been using it, and you didn't even know it.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_00: You just trying to survive, you just trying to make it to the next day.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_00: They've been watching you the whole time and they mad as hell because no matter what goes on, you continue on trying, you continue on leveling up, so they pissed, okay.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_00: But like I said, guys, don't even worry about it and stay out the way.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_00: See, one overall thing that betrayal teaches you to move in silence.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't remember nothing else, move in silence every now and then.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_00: Ain't nothing wrong with popping out because we ain't hiding this season now, black sheep.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_00: We not hiding this season, but when we pop out, we popping out when we want to, and we popping out.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_00: If we talking about anything, we really not talking, we popping out with the outcome, we popping out with the result, we not even giving them a chance to hop on our way.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_00: Because as black sheep guys keep it 100, you probably have friends and family that tried to steal your idea, too.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_00: So now, when you get betrayed in all of these different types of ways, you start to learn, you know what?
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_00: Let me keep my mouth closed.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe me talking too much and wanting to share this and share that, that's what happened the last time, and then it slowed me down.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_00: You start learning how to move in silence.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because the enemy cannot attack what he don't know when he blindsided, y'all.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_00: This is why you gotta when you pop out, you popping out results, you popping out and showing them ain't nothing stop, and then you don't pop out no more until the next level.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_00: This is how you keep them guessing, they don't know what to do.
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_00: But see, when you always online, oh look at me, look what I did, look what I'm doing.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: You just giving them all types of ammunition, you giving them all and see what you want to understand is, guys, easily never even even as a black sheet, specifically as a black sheet, people don't want you to win, even if you ain't even highly posting.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of these folks that counted you out.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_00: Don't get me wrong, guys.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_00: You got some people out there that's really happy to see you doing your thing.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_00: They may not like the picture or nothing like that, but they really impressed with what you got going on.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_00: But these motherfuckers that was on that bull crap that sold you out.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_00: Trust me, they 38 hot, and they definitely looking and checking you out because they see you steady, leveling up, doing your thing.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_00: You don't even post that much because you're busy, but trust and believe they see you.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_00: This is why there's no better response than elevation.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's why they always say, let your success be the talking.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_00: People are gonna always talk, let them like male robin.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_00: Say, let them let them talk.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_00: Only thing you're gonna do is walk the walk, walk the walk.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_00: So listen, y'all.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_00: Betrayal is painful, but it's not final, it does not define you, and it damn sure don't have to stop you, and it does not determine your future.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes, truly, it positions you because without betrayal, there is no breakthrough, without pressure, there is no formation, no transformation, without the fall, there is no rise.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_00: Listen to that again.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_00: Without the fall, there is no rise when you meet people that act like they never had a fall.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's how you know it's all lies.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody only has a rise, you had to fall to come up.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_00: Some people were meant to walk with you, and others were sent to wake you up.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_00: Know the difference.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: If this episode hits you, make sure to go back and listen to the discernment, the black sheep superpower guys, because that episode will help you see things before they cost you.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_00: And as always, information is everywhere, but execution is rare.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_00: This is the Black Sheep Leadership Podcast.
