Have you ever questioned everything — your work, your purpose, even your friendships — all at once?
Hey Friends!
Have you ever questioned everything — your work, your purpose, even your friendships — all at once?
Weeks like this make me feel that way. And I know I’m not alone. So many entrepreneurs I’ve talked to lately are questioning what they do, what they stand for, and even who they call friends.
Maybe you’ve been there too — wrestling with doubt, fear, imposter syndrome, or even wondering what it’s all for.
I want to share where I’m at, in hopes it gives you some direction as well.
Lately, I’ve been facing a health issue no one has answers for. My joints swell, my muscles ache, some nights I run fevers, and most mornings it’s hard just to get out of bed. It feels like suffering.
That word — suffering — takes me back to Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. Two truths he taught stand out to me:
- Suffering is inevitable, just like death. Without it, life isn’t complete.
- Suffering stops being suffering the moment we give it meaning.
So I’ve been asking myself: what’s the deeper meaning in this?
And beyond my own life, when we as a community are faced with tragedy, loss, or division, fear and anger can easily become suffering — mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Unless we give it meaning.
For me, the meaning is simple: I can’t control circumstances, but I can control my response. As Frankl said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.”
If I respond with fear, it shows me where I’m at. If I respond with anger, likewise. I’m choosing to respond with hope and love.
Tiffany and I are recommitting to becoming our best selves so we can show up for you. We believe we are all loved by God. We believe in the power of couples, the beauty of families, the gift of entrepreneurship, and the path of personal growth.
We want to walk with other entrepreneurs and couples who are chasing true freedom and lasting happiness. We’ll share what’s working and what’s not. And above all, we won’t stay silent about these beliefs.
So if you’re still here, still reading — chances are, we’re your people, and you’re ours. Together we can make meaning of suffering, and turn challenges into something that moves us forward.
👉 Share where you’re finding meaning this week.
