You are not the Failure
It's that you're trying to do it alone
"Time is your medium. Whatever magnificent things you will ever do will be molded out of time itself. Like a sailor uses waves and wind, time is what will carry you. And a time limit is nothing but a dock you push off from at the start of a voyage." -Barbara Sher "(It’s only too Late if you Don’t Start Now)
We all look at Time as this sort of mystical entity. We don’t know how much Time any of us have, so if 2 people with the same amount of time, one might waste it and the other might take full advantage of it. This is different with potential though. Some of of us have great potential for certain things, others not so much. But both these people can waste their potential very easily.
If you’ve been a Lawyer and then suddenly you want to become a Fighter Pilot, the chances of that switch is very low. But what you can do is use your Skills to try something different, maybe in Aviation Law? Trying something and failing isn’t failure, it’s Growth. It’s how we learn, we’re meant to experience things, especially with other people. But if we somehow think we need to fail again and again alone where no one will see our failures, then you got it all backwards. We need to fail with other people so we all grow together and overcome the failure together.
Misery loves company, but so does Growth, as anyone who’s ever seen a forest can attest to.
