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:
- Learning to focus on the activity, on the moment, for its own sake – not on the outcome.
- 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…
