I think I understand what you're getting at. It sounds like you're describing a process of losing one's identity, job, business, family, and sense of self-worth due to various factors such as a lack of self-determination, improper excuses, and a failure to take responsibility for oneself.

However, as someone who has walked through his own share of struggles, I would say that true growth and change often come from facing hardships and challenges head-on. It's through these experiences that we can discover what's truly in our hearts and make necessary changes. As the Bible says, "You don't really know who you are until you've gone through suffering." It's in these moments that we can measure our spiritual growth and learn to submit to God's providence, even when things don't go as planned.

In my own life, I've seen this play out in my relationship with my wife, Susan. Marriage can be a challenging experience, but it's through the ups and downs that we're forced to confront our weaknesses and insecurities. It's not that marriage creates these weaknesses, but rather it reveals them, and it's in this process of self-discovery that we can grow and become more like Christ. As the Bible says, "When I was married, my wife was a big truck driving right through my heart. Marriage brings out the worst in you. It doesn't create your weaknesses, though you may blame your spouse for your blow-ups—it reveals them."
