It didn’t happen
Scientists have the data
Attempts to find an outcome for any situation often result in failure. This is the type of reasoning used by inventors on a regular basis. As a qualified human, I think of myself as someone who tries to figure out stuff on my own. That leads to a lot of guessing. And failures. Lack of success is not always a bad thing. If I bleach the meaning, there is a silver lining. Thinking that the endgame has not been reached often removes the stigma of falling short. But there are other ways to hide malfunctions. Namely, deliberately not finishing. When the result is not met, there is the very real ability to state that the event was not a failure. The validity isn’t affected because it did not occur. This type of thought would increase the chances of never getting anything done. So safe. The real question becomes why anything gets even close to done knowing that it could be a disaster. Think rocket explosion status. But there are lessons to be learned from those fumes. Once the dust settles, the curious jump in to try to increase the chances of getting closer to success. Look for where stuff goes unfinished. It may be telling the story of a reluctance to fail.
Take Five
Each week this year, read through the suggestions and see how they call out to you.
- What helps you feel successful?
- How much impact does not finishing have on you?
- Create some new words for success.
- What do you fail to complete?
- Does success have to come from finishing?
Come back each day to see if something changes about the effect of an activity. Repeat choices to identify different thoughts. You are not the same person every day. Your life shouldn’t be either.
