Failure
Failure is composed of a set of destructive emotions. F=frustration, A=aggression, I=insecurity, L=loneliness, U= uncertainty, R=resentment, E=emptiness, but emotions and feelings are not the same. Emotions are conditioned action. Feeling is innate sensitivity. The idea of failure is actually pretty crippling. It is a self fulfilling prophecy, and the biggest reason for that is we villainize the feelings that lead to failure.
They say in Taoism that if on the way you encounter resistance, it’s not because it’s impossible, you just don’t know the way yet.
“There are no failures – just experiences and your reactions to them.” Tom Krause (motivational speaker, Teacher and Coach, b.1934)
“My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.” Mahatma Gandhi (Indian Philosopher, internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, 1869-1948)
