The Story of the Sheep and Sheepdog | ReWire 1912

Welcome to the rewire podcast. I'm your host Ryan Stoeman and I'm here to rewire your mind for success

You were put on this planet for success. You were created to succeed

But the force of average is after you every single day my brothers and sisters and this podcast is the one thing

This design to help you fight the force of average and excel in every area of your life

We're glad that you're here. You cannot stand up and defend weak people and expect them to

Have your back. There's a reason why we people need someone to stand up for them

It's because they cannot stand up for themselves. You see in the movie American sniper

There is a scene where Chris Kyle is a child in his older brothers with him and Chris was bullied in the older brother

Beat the bully up and the dad gives a speech at the table something along the lines of this

He says listen boys

There are three types of people in this world

There are wolves sheep and sheep dogs

You see the sheep they can't take up for themselves

They don't even know the wolves there until it's too late

The wolf knows the sheep can't defend itself

The wolf knows the sheep is ignorant into its existence

So it slaughters the sheep but the sheep dog is the only chance the sheep has to defend against the wolf

The sheep dog knows where the sheep are

Knows where the wolf is and is willing to fight for the sheep

But what he doesn't say in that movie and what a lot of people don't understand is the sheep won't say thank you to the sheep dog

The sheep aren't grateful for the sheep dog and the sheep won't have the sheep dogs back if the sheep dogs fight in a wolf

You see funny story about that

My birth father is the president of the American sheep dog association

So I know a little bit about sheep doggan

But most of my life I never understood the second side of sheep doggan

I stand up for people and then I wonder why they don't have my back even when I'm standing up for him

I've stood up to people before

As a child I remember

I stood up to a bully in the third grade that was bullying my cousin

And then when my I stood up to the bully bunched him in the face went to the principal's office

By the time I came out of the principal's office my cousin was hanging out with the bully

I learned nothing from that instance. I couldn't understand it

But I didn't learn anything from it then

As my time is a leader in a coach. I've had employees do bad stuff and watched other employees leave with them

It's like in that the same person that you complained and wanted me to fire and now you're leaving with them

Okay, that's weird

I've had clients steal money from other clients and then the clients they stole from

Shit on me to take the back of the thief and so the other side of the sheep dog is we have to be the sheep dog no matter what

The sheep's added to the sheep's indifference

The sheep's lack of gratefulness that doesn't keep us from being sheep dogs

It just changes the expectation from the sheep

That we sheep dog over. I'll let you sit with that one
