"I ended the program with a better view of myself and a better knowledge of the thought processes and approach to reality"

My life has been a permanent challenge, I left my parents' house at 18, I became a mother at 19 and a widow at 26 in a car accident that left me between life and death. 
My physical and psychological recovery process was slow and difficult, I had to find mechanisms to work and educate my daughter. Over time, I underwent several surgical interventions, but remained focused on tomorrow. I finally founded my own company in 2005 that went bankrupt in 2014 as a result of the 2008 financial crisis and perhaps because at the time I was also commited to taking care of my mother, who had suffered a stroke, died after 3 years. I continued in the same business with the help of the family. 
An investor bought 51% of the company 2 years ago. My present life is field with moments of permanent fear of losing everything and being unemployed. 
This is the context that led me to participate in the Vishen program, to learn how to and build tools that would help me face the day to day with more knowledge and more self support so that this process does not destroy my creative mind and my strenght and ability to fight for what I have built. 
I ended the program with a better view of myself and a better knowledge of the thought processes and approach to reality and the awareness that my place in the world does not have to be a place of suffering. Thank you Vishen for all the insights and hope that this program offered me.
