A story of faith, struggle, and a shocking realization from one of our readers.

Ágoston Dóka—or Guszti, as most people call him—has been reading our blog. Our writings, especially my struggles and journey, inspired him to share his own story.

Whenever I face heightened mental or emotional stress, my body immediately “flares up” too. The first sign? Herpes. It appears on my lips in an instant, as if someone had punched me in the mouth.

Except sex—it’s about power. Though it shouldn’t be. It could be about so many other things. In a relationship, perhaps most importantly, it could be about connection.

This summer, in a group of guy friends, the topic of sex came up—what else, right? Maybe the stars were aligned differently than usual, but for once, we weren’t talking about conquests…

I’ve been reflecting on what well-being and prosperity truly mean in the life of an entrepreneur. What does it take—and how much of it, and in what form—to feel genuinely good within our own business?

We do so many things we don’t like for the sake of the few things we do. I hear this so often: We endure 80% of things just to enjoy the remaining 20%.

I think my corporate career truly took off when I started going on long-distance hikes: the Kinizsi 100, followed by the Corsican GR20 (I’ve written about this before, click here). These hikes fundamentally shaped my approach to planning…

This morning, I went for a walk in the forest with my dog, Ottó. We’ve already lost two balls, so today I brought a ring for him to play with. I was absolutely terrible at it—it’s thrown completely differently than a stick or a ball.

Have you ever done something that everyone around you unanimously said: “Nooo, don’t be stupid!” A decision in your life, career, or business that made no sense to anyone?

s I often do, I’d like to revisit that period in my life when I was alone. I was alone, and it didn’t feel right. I had this strong drive, this burning need, to have someone in my life.

The way I approach conversations has been shifting constantly. For quite some time now, I find myself mostly sitting quietly, observing, and listening.

A friend called me today, saying he had been thinking about what I should do to kickstart my business. How I could speed things up and get things moving.

For a while now, I’ve felt something stirring inside me, something I can’t quite identify. I remember when I started my life as an event organizer at the student office during university…

I’ve often wondered: what must it be like to live the life of a mayfly? Spending years developing in the mud, only to emerge in perfect synchrony at just the right moment—once a year…

Time is money. We may not even realize how deeply these universal truths shape our lives and decisions.

Beyond the question of “Do I want to be more or better?”, or the classic dilemma of quantity versus quality, another thought keeps lingering in my mind: How can I be more efficient? Efficient in my business.

Does this question even make sense in this form? Is it really about choosing between more and better, or is it something deeper?

Recently, one question has been growing louder in my mind: How can I work effectively with others, or more precisely, how should I collaborate to ensure the process is both efficient and productive?

I am not a nutritionist, although I have studied the topic. I am simply a layperson—someone who has struggled with weight, experienced what it feels like to be overweight, endured fasting without losing a single pound, and finally discovered what it means to feel good in my own skin.
