The Failure Creed

I will fail because trying not to fail has only made things worse.

I will fail my assumptions about other people and let them fill in the gaps with the truth.

I will fail so I make progress.

I will fail at lifting heavy things in my life, and then I’ll fail again and again until they’re not so heavy anymore.

I will fail at trying to do what’s healthy for myself, and from that failure, I’ll learn what supports I need to succeed next time.

I will fail at relationships and not blame the other person.

I will fail to answer the questions my brain throws at me and my brain will just have to accept that.

I will fail to make you like me. But that’s your problem, not mine.

I will fail when I’m trying new things that nobody else dares to try.

I will fail to be certain after so many years of pretending I could be.

I will fail to control other people. It was stupid to get upset about failing at that.

I will fail to get what I want and see that the real problem was the wanting.

I will fail to hide who I am. I don’t know why i was trying to succeed at that.

I will fail, and that’s okay. In fact, it’s awesome.
