The highs and lows of building something can put real pressure on who we believe we are. Entrepreneurs are especially at risk of allowing their identity to be completely defined by the success or failure of their business, and neither side of that equation leads anywhere healthy. Success can inflate us, and failure can crush us if we give either too much authority. Work can refine your character, reveal your values, and teach you more about yourself, but it should never be allowed to corrupt your integrity or define your worth. That work belongs to your Creator, and the more firmly you remember that, the more freely you can build, risk, learn, and lead without compromising your values, character, or identity in the process.
