Failure
Possibility Project — Day 11
Welcome to my unedited, unscripted daily thoughts on adopting an abundance mindset.
Failure is a human construct. It is not of the world.
Without standards and observers failure does not exist. Without the definition of success, failure does not exist.
Just as a given length can be interpreted as 1 meter, 3 feet, or 39.37 inches — failure is measured differently by different people.
Why does failure play such an important role in our lives?
The answer is simple. Because, we have decided it should.
Failure is nothing but a measurement tool. John Keats and Vincent Van Gogh were initially calculated to be failures and later dubbed the best of their kind.
The intent of what is being measured is often arbitrary. It feels made-up.

Yet, failure often plagues us with self-doubt, embarrassment, shame, humiliation, distress, dishonor, or discredit. These arbitrary consequences disable the human mind and injure the human spirit.
An injured spirit cannot unleash it’s full potential. It cannot work towards becoming a contributor.
The possibility mindset frees the human spirit.
Possibilities are of the world, and they appear to those willing to explore, understand, and seek.
The adventure awaits.
To possibilities!
