I’ve been in a reflective place lately, and I wanted to be honest about where I’m at.
This past year and a half, I pushed into entrepreneurship slowed down my security work, tried gig life, experimented with building something of my own. At first it felt promising, but recently I’ve hit a wall.
The effort is high, the return is inconsistent, and when I run the numbers, it feels like I’m putting in more than I’m getting out. That’s been tough to admit. It even made me ask myself:
“Did I waste my time?”
Even though I know these experiences taught me a lot discipline, risk, resilience, clarity I’m still feeling the weight of this moment. My confidence dipped. My motivation got cloudy. And I realized I’m still very much in my own development process.
I post Stoicism, Scripture, and personal growth content, but I’m right here in the trenches too.
Still learning. Still adjusting. Still becoming.
If anyone has gone through a season like this, I’d appreciate your perspective or a word of encouragement.
How did you handle that point where your faith in the path got shaky?
