Read This If You Feel Like a Failure
I have never failed, and it ruined my life.
Since I was young, I always won awards at piano competitions, did unusually well on tests, and had friends around me. There was rarely failure in my life.
However, of course, this cannot last.
As I grew older, life threw more and more challenges at me, and not all of them had the best results.
My lack of failure and the mentality I had of always having to be successful at everything I did made it difficult for me to deal with such bad results.
I felt like I had failed.
But what determines failure? What is failure?
The success you believe in comes from a flawed worldview created by societal expectations.
To begin, we believe that success comes from a respectable job, a happy family, a good-looking partner, and an abundance of friends. But who decided that? Why does that have to be success?
You only view that as success because by achieving that, you receive praise from others which boosts your ego.
If you let go of that, then the meaning and value of success change.
