Prompt:
🧠 Where have you confused correction with criticism?

Every man has felt it — that sting when someone checks your blind spot.

But here’s the truth:
Correction is not criticism.
Criticism says you failed.
Correction says you can rise.

One shuts you down.
The other calls you up.

So ask yourself today:
Where have you rejected the very fire that was sent to forge you?

📜 Mini Teaching

You were never meant to fear correction — but most men do.
Why?

Because we were taught that being corrected means we’ve failed.
That it’s a sign we’re not good enough.
That it’s an attack on who we are.

But here’s the truth:

Correction is proof that someone believes in who you could be.
It’s not an insult — it’s an investment.
But you’ll never receive it that way if your identity is built on approval instead of truth.

So today’s question is your first refinement:

Where have you rejected growth because you felt offended by the fire?

It’s not too late to go back and receive what was said.
It just takes humility — and heat.
