Indifference to success or failure is the ultimate power. In fact, it’s impossible to define success or failure, because each is contextual and can only be assessed in retrospect. For example, if a woman you’ve been involved with decides you’re not the one for her and dumps you, and you didn’t see it coming, does that mean you’ve failed? In the immediate context of the moment it appears you did. BUT if the next day, to feel better you go out with your single friends and meet the woman of your dreams, did you technically FAIL in the long run? Of course not! If you’d "succeeded" with the other woman, you probably would’ve missed the opportunity with the new woman of your dreams. You need to stop thinking in terms of success or failure, and start taking this OVERALL view of life, instead of viewing things as separate "bubbles" in your life where success or failure are defined in the moment.
