Transcript
00:00Ladies, we got to see a lot about friendship in this movie, especially betrayal.
00:07Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert!
00:10Spoiler alert!
00:13How do you handle betrayal on a friend level?
00:16How do you heal from the betrayal?
00:19It happens quite often, unfortunately,
00:21especially being in this business, in this position,
00:24when people, you just want people to see you as a person,
00:26but they see you as something else or a thing or an opportunity.
00:28But what I've learned to do is, what I've learned to do is this,
00:31the next person that comes along, never judge that person by your last experience.
00:36You may be careful, you may be more wiser, but don't judge them by the last experience.
00:39And as far as healing, if I didn't have prayer and faith,
00:42and if I didn't know the word, I don't know how I would get over some of this stuff.
00:45But, you know, move on.
00:46I want to know, in your personal lives, how do you handle betrayal?
00:49And how do you heal from that in your friendships?
00:52Betrayal.
00:53I feel like you heal from betrayal by finding in yourself what led you to it.
00:59That's how I move from it.
01:01Because every step you take in a friendship, it's a give and take.
01:06You know, and healing from it, you also have to be aware of what you brought to it.
01:11And it's just internalizing for myself, forgiving myself, and forgiving others.
01:17Got it.
01:17That's what she said.
01:19Retweet that.
01:20I got that one.
01:21But she quoted you.
01:22But now what if it is you who does the betrayal?
01:25Like, what if it's you that does the wrong thing, the betrayal?
01:28Like, how do you heal from that and how do you move from that?
01:30Well, now, wait a minute.
01:31Let's discuss that for a moment.
01:32Are we doing this deliberately?
01:34Are we doing this on an accident?
01:36No, never deliberately.
01:39I did it.
01:40I had a cousin who would do things, break things.
01:42I did it on an accident.
01:44Right.
01:44Did it on an accident.
01:45But what if it's, you know, unintentional and something you said or something that you
01:50did really tore this friendship?
01:53Yeah.
01:53Absolutely.
01:54That would be devastating because I think you have to be very careful with one another.
02:01You know, that would be devastating to know that you'd hurt someone.
02:05And you'd pray for forgiveness.
02:07Yes.
02:07And then try to move from that.
02:10And try to not just move from that, but really look very carefully at what that moment was,
02:17what that misstep was.
02:20How did you miss like that?
02:22What, what, where were you in that moment?
02:25Because I guess that is something that can happen to, to us if we're not in alignment, you know.
02:34That part.
02:34You know, that part, not just moving on, but what do you do?
02:38How do you look at yourself?
02:39How do you, what do you think about to make sure that you don't cross over into that ever again?
02:46Ever.
02:46I find myself, I don't like this, but it's the truth.
02:49I become more cautious.
02:51But what I do is then I get, I hold tighter to my faith because I think my faith will tell
02:58me the truth.
02:58I, I might be gripping and not trusting anymore, but if I stay in my faith, it's like, nope,
03:04you don't do that.
03:04You might miss your blessing through, like you said, the next person, the next situation.
03:09And so I'm gripping my faith tighter and it, it keeps me open.
03:14But does that change if the betrayal is you?
03:16If you were the betrayer?
03:18You did it, yeah.
03:19Does it change if you feel like you were the one?
03:21No, see, you, you need to fix that.
03:23You need to fix that.
03:24I, I, I'm never, I'm never, if I make a mistake, if I do something wrong, because my intention
03:28is never to hurt anybody.
03:29If, if I do that or even somebody comes along and said, that really hurts me, the first thing
03:33I do is, listen, I apologize to you because that was never my intention.
03:35You have to own that and fix that right away.
03:37If you hurt somebody, fix that.
03:40Don't care.
03:40Don't let somebody carry something that you did that you have not fixed.
03:43I can't go on with my life if I'm that way.
03:45I'm absolutely convicted until at least I've said I'm sorry.
