people never find the courage to do that, and those who do quickly learn what
you have learned, that experiences are unpredictable when you stray from the

step.

I feel your pain. I know exactly what it is like to feel backed into a corner
when the short-term view is a combination of stressful and terrifying.

But it's only the short-term view. When I look back on those moments in my own
past, the details are long forgotten, the misery is remembered and I remain
glad it is in the past.

What you need to do is minimize the stress in your life and take
responsibilities off your plate -- starting with the business, the work, the
overall lifestyle, all of it needs to be reduced or minimized or removed
entirely for awhile.

Put yourself in a position where you can do nearly nothing for awhile, except
reflect, get some positive interactions with whoever you are close to in your
life, whether it is friends or family (or no one, if you are truly comfortable
being alone), and don't ask anything of yourself except to take a life pause
with no other demands.

During that downtime, give yourself permission to do nothing, to explore your
creativity and interests with no pressure to make anything come from them. In
the absence of pressure, life has a way of illuminating the real goals.

Japan is always going to be there. You will enjoy it more and perhaps even
prosper well if you first learn to relax and enjoy life again without so much
pressure.

It's fine if you end up losing a little money to close the business, and maybe
even leave Japan for awhile. It can be very stressful to live abroad, and
Japan is arguably one of the most challenging because of how different the
culture is (assuming you are coming from somewhere in the West).

I have lived all over the world and done so without much money, and it has not
always been easy.
