Your Question:

Why did I have to lose my sense of self, and my job, and my business, and my family, and my sense of self-worth, and my job, and my business, and my family?

Answer:

Losing one's sense of self, job, business, family, and sense of self-worth is a difficult and complex process. As someone who has walked through similar challenges, I believe that it often stems from a lack of self-determination and responsibility. When we disavow responsibility for ourselves, we open the door to excuses such as genetic conditioning, psychological conditioning, and social conditioning.

These excuses can lead to a sense of powerlessness and hopelessness. I recall a time when I felt like I was losing myself, and I began to turn inward, searching for answers. I realized that I had been pretending to be someone I wasn't, and that anger and despair were eating away at me. It wasn't until I turned to God and began to seek His guidance that I started to find my true self.

In the same way, when we lose our job or business, it may be a sign that we are in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason. It's not the end of the world, but rather an opportunity for growth and change. As I've seen in my own life and in the lives of others, suffering can be a catalyst for spiritual growth and a chance to reveal our true hearts. By facing our weaknesses and flaws, we can begin to change and become the person God has called us to be.
