Don’t fail without good reason
Don’t make a habit out of failing
The purpose of failing is to win
You fail many small times so that you can win big-time
You experiment and explore so that you can innovate
You fail so that you can discover a new way
New, by definition, is unknown, therefore everything that is new is NOT known, not known to be advantageous or disadvantageous, useful or useless, good or bad, rewarding or futile
But you go there anyway so that you can improve
You can’t improve the “known”, because known, by definition, is fixed.
Therefore you go into the unknown — and you fail along the way — until you’ve found the gold
This is the purpose of failing
The purpose of failing is not to fail
If you don’t win after your failures — then you’re just a failure
Your goal is to win
Failure is just means to an end
Everything you do — do to the best of your ability
Never FAIL the simple things and small things
Never do things inadequately
How you do the smallest thing is how you do everything
And if you make a habit out of failing — you will fail everything — with no grand reward at the end of it
Don’t glorify failing
Again: failing without winning is just failing
The only time to glorify failing is if you want to be a failure
We take this invitation to “fail a lot” and “fail big” to justify our failures
We love the underdog story, so much so we become addicted to it, and unable to go beyond it
We love to tell ourselves we’re failing everything in our lives in anticipation of our grand transformation
It’s all nonsense. Truth is: change is gradual. Results will be non-linear — but your true change is gradual, slow, and it happens every day, in how you live EVERY single one of your days.
Don’t fail every day
NEVER FAIL simple things.
The only purpose of failing is to discover something better
If you fail simple shit and stuff that is well-known how to do — you’re not discovering nothing. You’re just addicted to your failure-mentality.
We’re too lenient about stupid pointless failures, while STILL not encouraging enough of meaningful failures.
We tolerate ineptitude and disorganisation in our daily lives, sabotaging our results on simplest levels
We don’t celebrate the gift of life by celebrating every aspect of our lives — we’re neglectful, one-dimensional
This is unacceptable
You want to make every aspect of your life beautiful
Because your life, by definition, comprises of it’s MANY ASPECTS. How serious you are about each and every one of them, and how beautiful you make them, is how beautiful and complete your life should be
And we’re still not taking enough risks
Again: your stupid-failures don’t count as “experiments”
You fail because of your ineptitude — not because you explored the unknown unknowns, the uncharted territories
Fix your simple and stupid blunders — then set about higher-level explorations
Set about going your own way and doing your own things and doing what you DO want
Fail million times along the way but each one of those failures should be meaningful
This is the right way to fail and the only way to fail — and every other way to fail is just failure — and is absolutely unacceptable
