Upside-Down Wisdom #3: Self-Work

“You have to work on yourself.”

It sounds noble, doesn’t it? Productive. Self-aware.
Like life is one big home improvement project—and you’re the fixer-upper.

But here’s the thing:
You are not a project. You are not broken.

Sure, you might have habits that don’t serve you.
Sure, you might have thoughts that trip you up.
But the idea that your self needs work?
That who you are at your core isn’t good enough yet?
