Failure Porn

There's nothing inherently good about failure, despite what all the "influencers" might say.

In fact, failing sucks.

It stings.

And yet, over the years we've been brainwashed to CHASE it.

If you're not failing... you're not succeeding 'they' say.

Of course, failure happens. Especially if you put skin in the game.

But the ultimate goal is to always come out on top. Success is the destination, not who has failed the most.

Top performers don't chase failure. They chase success, while knowing failure is just a minor detour along the way.

I'll admit, I've struggled with addiction to failure porn for quite some time.

It makes failing feel... better. But failing never changes the final score.

If you're still struggling to get where you want to be.

Try this.

Stop watching failure porn. Stop patting yourself on the back from coming up short.

You'll get the most satisfaction from tasting success.

Everything else is a distraction.

Sort:  

The inportant part is not letting the failure discourage you. And I guess embracing it means learning to live with it. But in the end, once we learned that, we have to start seeking success again.

Nice read!
