Correction Over Compliment: One Minute Posture Work: And Tom Hardy On Minding Your Own Bussiness

Hate confirmation. Love correction. The more uncomfortable, the better.”

I built a life by searching for comfortable compliments. Especially when I was mistaken.

Everything else was too much for my fragile ego. Especially the truth.

Like other weak-minded individuals, I progressed. I was even rewarded, gaining false confidence in a self-created system built on sand. But it was a slow progress, more trickle, a slow death that was more heaping a spoonful of dirt atop a grave of weakness.

Today is different because it has to be. Because I used up whatever credit I had with the cosmos and noticed just how much time I wasted avoiding criticism. I saw who I could’ve been from the cheap seats of who I am. And I hated.

I decided the uncomfortable correction was better than the comfortable compliment and got to work fixing the flaw. And it hurt. And it hurts.
