In this video, I explain why I officially killed the benefit of the doubt—and replaced it with the "Cost of the Conviction."
Doubt is uncertainty and making excuses for disrespect. Conviction is clarity backed entirely by evidence. When you operate from conviction, you stop relying on sweet words, shared history, or wishful thinking, and you hold people strictly to actions value. If enforcing that standard costs a relationship, so be it. Your peace and self-respect are non-negotiable.
