Failed to be a big enough failure 17 months ago

Several people from Edison to Trump have failed in big ways but were ultimately successful.

According to the world I have only failed in minor ways though these are major on a personal level.



It's harder than it looks 2 years ago

It isn’t failure, so much, as the risk of failure. But I wouldn’t list “risk failure” because that’s risking, which allows for the possibility of success.

I want to put everything into an activity that cannot possibly succeed. This can accomplish two things I think are critically important in my life:

  1. Learning to focus on the activity, on the moment, for its own sake – not on the outcome.
  2. Allowing God, the universe, the greater truth around me [call it what you wish] to calculate my future, rather than presuming I can know absolutely and can make decisions on such absolute knowledge. In other words, I want to overcome my overblown belief in logic.

Not that I’ll ever accomplish this, of course…



not too many folks... 3 years ago

aren’t too many of us actually listing this one… What’s the matter, scared?



Gah! 3 years ago

Maybe with this goal I can at least succeed at something. But if I succeed at failing, then I’ve failed to fail. Argh! There’s no winning, ever.

Edit: This is sort of an on-off goal. Sometimes I want to fail just to spite society, and sometimes I just forget society is there and therefore have no motivation for failing.
