Stop waging battles against your friends while embracing your enemies.

Stop waging battles against your friends while embracing your enemies.

We now live in a world where correction is mistaken for bad energy, and anyone willing to compromise with us is seen as a true friend.

This mindset is dangerous, it breeds a generation that loses its way, and when we finally realize it, we wonder how it happened.

A true friend should be able to tell you the truth, whether or not it is presented in the most polished or gentle manner.

Why is it that when someone tells you what you want to hear, their tone or attitude doesn’t matter, but the moment they deliver a hard truth, it suddenly feels like an attack?

Respect and politeness are important, especially when addressing elders or sensitive matters, but not all truths can be sugarcoated.

Some messages lose their essence when wrapped in too much diplomacy.

Of course, there will always be those who correct you from a place of self-righteousness, acting as if they are beyond fault themselves.

They may not communicate in the most considerate way, but that doesn’t mean their words hold no value.

Even if the correction stings, take a moment to reflect.

Listen, ignore the unnecessary pride or attitude, but go home and meditate on the core message.

Correction often comes from unexpected sources. even from those whose own lives seem off track.

Ironically, the people who challenge us the most may do so in areas where we are experts or where we feel most secure.

That’s why their words can feel like mockery.

But if the universe had no message for you, no one would be correcting you in the first place.

If someone does, then maybe there’s a box in your life that needs checking or unchecking.

Growth is not always comfortable, but it is necessary.

Peace.
