How do we define failure?
We get attached to an outcome
tied to work, relationships or income
Luxurious house or loving spouse
Job promotion or any other devotion
And to that thing we tie everything
Our happiness, life and emotions
If the universe does not answer our expectation
There is complain and blame
We feel unpleasant and sad
On little things we get mad
And think of ourselves as not good enough and failures
I redefine my path as progression towards a positive goal
No strings, no outcome, no time frame attached
So i never fail, but move forward.
If you are overly attached to a goal or an outcome in life and not achieving the expected results in the timeframe that your mind defined and this is causing suffering, pain and misery and making you feel you are not good enough or you are a failure, then I ought to tell you that you need to move on. No goal or outcome (be it marriage, job, children, money, business etc.) is worth sacrificing your peace and happiness.
