"When the standard of success becomes merely acting- when any result is regarded as progress and important, when inspiration is seen as a reward rather than a prerequisite - we propel ourselves ahead. We feel free to fail, and that failure moves us forward."

Above quote taken from the book The Subtle Art of not giving a F*CK, page 156 by author Mark Manson

This statement comes from a great book I read which emphasizes a paradigm shift in defining success, and focusing on the process rather than solely on outcomes. The wisdom I gained learning of success is that it is redefined as the act of doing. Every step taken in life is considered progress, regardless of the immediate result. By esteeming the act of engaging, seeking inspiration, and learning over fixating on achievements, we as individuals liberate ourselves from the fear of failure.


Embracing failure is hard but it is a stepping stone to cultivating resilience and innovation. When failure is viewed as a conduit for growth, it propels individuals forward by providing invaluable lessons and insights. This brilliant mindset shift fosters a sense of freedom, encouraging risk-taking and experimentation. In doing so, people become less daunted by setbacks, as each failure is perceived more as a contributor to advancement, which then ultimately propels personal and professional development.


In essence, we can start to value the process, welcoming failure as a means of progress. Stop looking in the rear view mirror and always move forward with momentum. This is a wonderful mindset to apply in daily life as it nurtures continuous improvement.

Paolo Coelho The One Thing Holding Your Dream Hostage (I will give you a Hint: It’s Not Your Alarm Clock) Picture this scenario: You’ve got a dream. Maybe it’s writing a novel, launching a food truck empire, or finally taking that momentous leap into a new career. You can almost feel it. But then—all of the sudden—you’re hit with a case of the “what-ifs.” What if I’m not good enough? What if I fail miserably? What if my food truck catches fire for a number of crazy reasons? And suddenly, that dream gets placed into the far corners of your mind, right next to your forgotten New Year’s resolutions and that guitar you swore you'd learn to play. Paulo Coelho, in his bestselling novel *The Alchemist*, drops a truth bomb that’s simple, bu...

                              Photo by  EUNJOON PARK   Why Being Famous Isn’t All That Important (And Why You’re Probably Better Off Without It) Let’s be honest: most of us have, at some point, fantasized about being famous. Maybe you pictured yourself winning an Oscar, an Emmy, performing in a sold-out stadium, or having your name trend on social media (for a good reason, of course). Fame seems like the ultimate golden ticket over bright lights—attention, admiration, and an endless stream of opportunities. But, as glamorous as it looks, being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, you might be better off staying comfortably under the radar.
