đź’¬ My dear friend,
🧨 “REAL LOVE DOES NOT SABOTAGE.”
I want to speak to you from the heart—because I care about your growth, not just your comfort.
Sometimes, we mistake constant soothing for real support. But love that only comforts you without correcting you… is not love at all. It’s sentiment, not substance. It may smile at you while your God-given potential is silently bleeding. It may tell you, “You’re doing fine,” when deep down, you’re settling for less than what God has placed inside you.
Anyone who truly loves you won’t let you stay stuck in mediocrity. They won’t clap while you compromise. They’ll challenge you. They’ll call out more in you. They’ll tell you the truth, even if it stings, because they want to see you rise, not just feel good.
Don’t be afraid of people who sharpen you—even when they speak hard truths. Be afraid of those who keep soothing you into stagnation. They may be sincere, but sincerity without truth is dangerous.
Please hear this with love: you are too gifted to remain passive, too loaded to live lukewarm. Step out of comfort zones. Welcome correction. Chase growth. Don’t confuse applause with accountability.
Let’s choose the kind of love that builds, sharpens, and pulls greatness out of us, not the one that slowly erodes us with empty kindness.
Because real love? It won’t just make you feel good.
It will make you become great.
