I never wanted to change the world, only to create within it.

My creations are within my scope of understanding. My inner circle is not. My inner circle has always provided me with very different feedback outside of my beliefs and my operating system. That feedback has forced me to get better as a human but most importantly as an individual. I assembled these individuals around me because I was always insecure about having anyone around that would agree with me. It’s one thing to have others understand a point of view (which my inner circle does). It’s another thing entirely to have unchallenged agreement. Most if not all of my inner circle constantly disagree with me. While this was very simple to put together/construct logically, it wasn’t easy emotionally. No matter how logical one is, I don’t know a single person on this earth that likes criticism. Therefore it was all an uphill battle that I often lost until I built the cardio to withstand the constant and helpful dissonance that forced me to grow omnidirectionally while rarely reinforcing the inner conclusions of my thoughts I tell myself.
