#276 – What's the point of grading your performance in life?

The concept of failure tends to bring most people down –– hence the hundreds of blog posts, articles, talks or coaching sessions devoted to reframing it as something positive.

Failure is information, they say. When we fail, we don't need to feel bad, they say, because that's just data about what doesn't work. Like Edison, we learn all the ways in which our idea doesn't work.

But what if we removed the concept of failure entirely from our mental repertoire?

Then, we'd go through life having experiences, and all of them would be necessary for our personal evolution.

Granted, not all experiences will feel the same.

Some will make us feel on top of the world, like when I landed the six-figure job in New York, and some will make us feel we're drowning in the riptide, like when I shut down my business after four years trying to make it work.

And all will be valid.

How will your life change if you drop the concepts of success and failure?

Love,
