What would happen if I were to embrace my failures? Those are the ugly tiny creatures that I made and nobody likes them, including myself. How would my world change if we coexist and enjoy each other’s company?
We would have to define what a “failure” is. It surely is a spectrum rather than a cutoff value. Maybe what I vision as failure is pretty much success for another. Does that mean each person has a unique definition and spectrum? Comparing yourself to others definitely creates shifts in this spectrum. How come LinkedIn is full of Co-founders, thought leaders and such? I can define myself as the chief executive officer of vacuuming in our house 🤩
Another idea is to use failures to power future moves. “Well that did not go as intended, what could be detour?” This is not to say, we jump back and are ready to storm right after a failure. There should be the emotional preparation phase, absorbing the changes that come with it. Only to allow the situation to get a 33,000 feet view of our life. This was a concept in Fight Right. You should be out of the boiling feelings and able to watch it as if you are watching a theater from a balcony.
If I allow myself to watch my life from a balcony, yes I see bunch of failures. But there are a lot more times I tried really hard. Let me accept those unlucky events and let them coexist in my play of life.
Today is my second day of green detox. Yesterday I almost had a migraine. Last week, I ate anything I wanted and my diet plan almost completely failed. As a consequence I have to do a more strict plan this week.
I allow myself to quit and make mistakes. Even if this means paying a higher price later. I will embrace my failures and let them reshape my path.
What are your thoughts on the play you’re watching from your balcony? So far so good?
