Success and Failure are limiting you

Aug 22, 2023, 2:30 PM

If you stop defining your success and failure criterias, you do wonders.


We are all bound up in a systematic way of living that expects us to do something in a preferred manner.

I think that creates a boundary or limitation in our actions. That shapes our mind to do the expected or below expected things only.

The one who achieves these expectations are tagged as ‘successful’ and the term ‘failure’ is given to the ones who couldn’t perform well.

The terms Successful & Failure are illusions. Their meanings vary from person to person, but in one way or another, it limits us.

What if there is nothing like success or failure to define our actions and every action we do, means something to us? There would probably be an exponential growth of our personality.

Here I am trying to convince you that there aren’t any specified or expected ways of learning or doing things. We don’t limit ourselves when comes it comes to learning and doing. We are free to do anything we want and same goes with learning.

You should know the perks of doing unexpected things or pursuing an unknown path. Get rid of all your definitions of success and failure and do unexpected things.

Venn Diagram shows interaction of various categories and their contribution to a system.

For example, Take a look at this niche diagram of Ram, an English teacher in a French school who is an Indian and plays violin on weekends.

Our every action is a contribution to our personality niche and each action represent a certain category.

When people say that one should focus on one thing only, that’s true but misunderstood sometimes.

Focusing onto something is necessary and vital but this doesn’t mean that you are obliged to do that thing only.

Hence, please add more circles to your own venn diagram.

Keep learning.
