If you are leaving a life based on outcomes then you are not really living it to the fullest. Unachieved Goals might be making you feel less competent. Such belief will act like a diesel in petrol based car, totally useless and damaging. In Short, the goal driven approach is making you less productive in the long run.

You need to be really alert about the impact your decisions are producing on yourself and on your goals. As tom bilyeu quotes “ Do something that gives you more energy than it takes ” If being called a failure is bothering you then can we find one person who has not failed in his lifetime?

Why compare the count of failures? Everybody had a different upbringing, different scenario and a different ability Of making choices. You need to get out of your own way sometimes.

Just because you are blinded by the end goal you need to achieve you might sacrifice parts of yourself, you never would have because you haven’t felt right about them in the first place . If you overlook what you have been feeling weird or uneasy about you really need to dive deep into the problem before it gets radioactive and starts affecting other areas of your life.

It may be a principle you have been applying in all areas of your life and making decisions based on it, Whereas Considering the parameters of the event your decision is going to perform in might have completely different scenarios.

Decisions.

It’s like you are trying to play by the rules of mario in call of duty or pubG. Well I wish you luck but you will never become stronger by eating cupcakes or a single mushrooms like mario. Every Game has different rules so does every decision you are going to make will.

Every individual on earth is anonymously working towards having a better experience of this piece of life. Paths may vary

but the end goal is the same.

Now whenever you are about to take any decision you just need to ask these basic questions.

Will it make me healthier?

Will It make me wealthier with my ethics in place?

Will it make me happier?

Now there will be many traps along this journey you are about to take and blaming someone for falling in it is the biggest mistake you can do because if someone has laid a trap for you (could literally be someone or your old past self) you weren’t really alert while falling into it. So who pays the bill? YOU.

Even if You have fallen into it now you are making the situation much worse by crying about it. The time you spend crying about the situation that has already happened……….okay take your time to cry, feel every emotion that has to be felt but Climb back to Reality again, and this time the one that has changed ,because in this way you reduce the time to come out of the trap you have fallen into or have got stuck into.

You are going to fall in many such traps in your lifetime. If you have always made a decision to come out of it then you wouldn’t be reading this article. And if you mistakenly believed in the “no matter what i do i am going to end in some trap why even try” then you have ended all the possibilities that life could have had for you if you climbed out of that hole.
