Can you imagine getting kicked out of your own company at the age of 30?

We all know the story of Steve Jobs. Contrary to how an average person would handle the situation, Jobs did not sulk into despair. Instead, he went on a journey of self-discovery and acquired the virtues of patience and honed his management skills, and rose like a phoenix.

Life is not a bed of roses. By not only experiencing a crisis, but also by processing the actions on a spiritual level, you realize that in a single moment in time our perception, and thereby our reality, can be shattered. A storm can overcome your world, and in its wake, that storm can leave destruction and chaos so big, that you might have to question all your life decisions. Starting over involves undaunted vigor since it takes more energy than doing it for the first time. As the old saying goes, one must not give up; keep fighting till the end. When this ultimate crisis comes, when there is no way out - that is the very moment when we explode from within and the totally other emerges, rising from its ashes, Rise from Ashes.
