The Core

Why fortifying your inner life matters more than answering surface-level questions

When you realize most people only see life from their own perspective, you start moving differently.

It took me years to learn this:

when people ask targeted questions, you don’t always need to answer.

Why?

Because often those questions aren’t about curiosity—they’re quiet attempts to measure you.

To decide how much respect they’ll give you.

The polite script says: “Not everyone is like that.”

Cross that out.

The truth? Many people are exactly like that.

Some questions aren’t conversations.

They’re friendly fire, wrapped in curiosity.

And in our eagerness, we hand over answers that weren’t theirs to have.

Success, like beauty, is always “perceived.”

And perception is slippery.

When you live from that truth, you stop performing, stop shrinking, and stop explaining your “no.”

Think of it like strengthening your core.

Trainers say every physical movement ties back to your abdominal strength.

The same is true spiritually and mentally.

If your inner core is fortified, no amount of questioning, posturing, or comparison can shake you.

That’s what the Soul Esteem movement is about:

no bow-tying, no Hollywood ending—just the boldness of living unshaken in Jesus Christ.
