Meaning

Redefining Failure

By August 3, 2024 No Comments

During our careers, the idea of “failure” was typically clearly defined. You knew your job, what was expected of you, and there was some measure to define success and failure.

Failure takes on a whole different meaning during Chapter X. To me, failure looks like this (to name a few):

  • Unwillingness to try something new that interests you.
  • Inability to stop doing things that are detrimental to health and happiness.
  • Self-imposed limitations.
  • Avoiding opportunities to meet new people simply because it feels weird or uncomfortable.
  • Falling back into old habits, beliefs, and behaviors that diminish your growth.
  • Not celebrating life and all its joyful possibilities.
  • Measuring yourself against others.

What does failure mean to you? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
