Dear friend, if you're holding this book, chances are you're searching for something — just like I was when I was only five years old. I've walked a path that, looking back, would have broken most people long before the halfway mark. But I didn't break. And this book is my way of showing you how — and why — I made it through.

I'm not a writer. I never dreamed of becoming one. My work has always been about helping businesses and startups survive and grow. But survival — whether in life or in business — follows similar rules. And sometimes, when words are all you have, a book becomes a lifeline.

This isn't a guide. It's not a self-help cliché. It's a raw, honest story of falling, failing, and still choosing to stand. A story for those living through their darkest chapters, and for those searching for meaning in the chaos.

Even if you don't buy this book, I hope the title alone sparks a question inside you: Who were you created to be? We weren't born to suffer. We weren't made for fear and pain. There is a greater plan — and though the road to it may be brutal, it's real, and it's worth it.
