Every entrepreneur has been at the point of despair at least once.
You’ve tried everything. The breakthrough never comes.
It feels as if fate has decided to destroy everything you hold dear.
Chaos rarely limits itself to business. It devours everything. So it wrecks your relationships, your health, and your faith in yourself.
Whatever support you reach for falls apart like paper in the rain.
And yet the darkest moment hides an insight:
When everything breaks into pieces, one fact remains—you are still here.
This is Being resisting Nonbeing. The courage to be, against all odds, stands at the center of the work of the theologian and philosopher Paul Tillich.
A man chooses to be, even without strength, hope, or meaning. More precisely—he does not retreat. And through that, Life speaks its “Yes.”
Nonbeing attacks, but only forces Being to affirm itself.
It brings to mind an old parable:
A warrior came to a monk, raised his sword, and said, “I can cut you down without blinking.”
The monk replied calmly, “And I can be cut down—and not blink.”
Sincerely yours,
