You did everything right, and now you're drowning.

Six months ago, you were begging the universe for these problems. The business that's now overwhelming you? You manifested it. The opportunities that are now crushing you? You prayed for them. The visibility that's attracting critics? You worked years to build it.

And now you're lying in bed at 2 PM on a Tuesday, laptop closed, phone on silent, wondering how success managed to feel exactly like failure.

The deal you spent three months nurturing just evaporated with a two-sentence email. Someone with 47 followers is tearing apart your life's work on Twitter, and somehow 10,000 people agree with them. The decision that made perfect sense with the information you had turned into a disaster you'll be cleaning up for months.

You want to quit. Not because you're weak, but because you're exhausted from being strong.

Here's what nobody tells you about building something that matters. The universe doesn't test you less as you grow. It just upgrades the difficulty setting.
