The most difficult but important lesson was discovering how much of my "identity" was actually just a performance for others. After burning out at my prestigious job, I had to confront how many of my choices were driven by impressing people I didn't even respect. Rebuilding my life based on what genuinely matters to me was disorienting but worth it. I lost status and certain relationships, but finally feeling aligned with myself is a liberation I can't properly describe.

The hardest lesson I ever learned was that you can do everything "right" and still fail. I spent years believing that if I just worked hard enough, was kind enough, planned carefully enough, I could control outcomes. Then my business collapsed despite perfect execution because of market factors completely beyond my control. It was devastating, but it freed me from the exhausting belief that I could control everything. Now I put in my best effort but hold outcomes more loosely, which ironically has made me both more successful and happier.

Learning that not everyone who claps for you wants you to win. I used to think my friends would be the first to support me when I started a business. Reality? Crickets. It hurt at first, but now I focus only on actions, not words. Loyalty is earned through time, not just memories.
