The Lesson

Discernment is intuition plus wisdom plus honesty. It's not suspicion. It's not naiveté. It's the ability to see clearly, name what you see, and let that guide your next step — especially in relationships.

Red flags are almost always felt before they are seen. Green flags are quieter but more consistent.
