| Of course not "just like a success." When you reach success you are done (for now), and can enjoy the momentary satisfaction of having manifested your intention. When you fail, you get to learn, to introspect, to face your emotions and often your "shadow" -- all the education and patterning which make you flinch or love yourself less in the presence of mistakes/failure. It's an invitation to learn to work with these, to learn new ways to approach the issue, to improvise, be creative, to grow, to improve and master yourself and the matter at hand. Worth celebration, but very much not "just like success." A third option, which anyone touched by stoicism or let's say vipassana would be aware of, is to be equally equaniminous to each. Learn to reduce the amplitude of the hope and fear associated with each. This will give you access to calmer, steadier experience as you create, manifest, learn and grow. |
