Business is not to be idolized
Every day I battle between moving forward and giving it all up to work in an orphanage or a shelter or a hospital.
How I know I am not fit for these environments is not because I do not have the desire, the heart, or the strength.
It is that I cannot stand by policies I do not believe in— I cannot feed the poor and vulnerable, MSG, processed sugar, and fake bread. That is a sin to me. I want to feed them organically. I want to serve more tea than pharmaceuticals.
But I cannot complain about policies and capacities if I do not have money. No money, no authority, no solution, no change.
So I find a farm and grow a garden.
But I’m lying to myself.
So I look beyond where I can work well, and notice where I am gifted. I am a gifted writer. I have beautiful and empowering words to say, always.
And so I could be a grant writer, maybe go back to school and be a lawyer, get into policy writing.
But then I’m asking permission to make a change and asking will not do for me. I am a listener.
Not everyone is born with an entrepreneurial spirit. This person thinks differently about the world. They’ve never liked to follow, and you cannot make them. They would rather die than submit to a lifestyle that does not fulfill their soul. They know who they are and they know EXACTLY what God is asking them to do. So they do it. Every day.
Sometimes, the entrepreneur does want to give up. And so they create art like this. They look for jobs where they can feel useful by society when the money isn’t coming in how they expect. But perhaps an even greater sin? To leave an orphan when God takes you out of there again because you are not obeying Divine Order. The entrepreneur breaks so many hearts. They must not no more.
The entrepreneurial spirit is never still. They flow through towns and cities and families like a river. Their heart is full when serving people. And a lot of people. More people than they can handle. This also leads to the desire to quit.
The spirit of an entrepreneur, an artist, a creative, can never be put out. To this they are mocked, or they are admired… sometimes both.
At the end of this, all that matters is if Love was served. There is no final point of success for the entrepreneur. The entire journey is the journey.
Dear entrepreneur, dear change-maker, dear visionary:
You are a blessing.
With and without— here and not here.
Wherever you are, you are a blessing.
