You also can learn and grow from your failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Defective belief: <\/strong>The success or failure of your life depends on its outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Corrected belief: <\/strong>Life isn\u2019t an outcome. It\u2019s a process.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Defective belief: <\/strong>There are winners and losers in the finite game of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Corrected belief: <\/strong>There are no winners or losers in the infinite game of life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Value of Failure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Becoming immune to failure doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll never fail again. It means you\u2019re protected from the negative feelings of self-recrimination that usually accompany failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You achieve this state by reframing your belief that failure is bad. You realize that when you\u2019re a life designer, you <em>fail intentionally<\/em> and <em>fail more often<\/em> because you regularly employ the two life design attitudes of curiosity and experimentation. These lead you to generate ideas and build prototypes\u2014which can fail. You also learn from the failures that arise from your personal weaknesses and screw-ups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Failure is a necessary part of the design process. <\/strong>It\u2019s the raw material of success because it informs how you generate more ideas and build more prototypes. Productive failure contributes directly to who you become, both professionally and personally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Nature of Failure and the Nature of Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Realize that there\u2019s a distinction between the productive failures of the design process and the psychological identity of \u201cbeing a failure.\u201d The latter is flatly impossible when you realize that your whole life is actually a process of life design. Because you\u2019re always growing and changing, life is an \u201cinfinite game,\u201d to use the philosopher James Carse\u2019s memorable term. An infinite game is one in which you don\u2019t follow preset rules in an effort to win but <em>play with the rules themselves for the pure joy of the game<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-infinite-game\">Learn more about finite and infinite games in our guide to <em>The Infinite Game<\/em> by Simon Sinek<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being, Doing, and Becoming<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since life is an infinite game, there\u2019s no such thing as an ultimate failure from which you can\u2019t recover. Instead, there\u2019s only productive failure in the endlessly recursive process of life design. It\u2019s recursive because it starts by taking stock of who and where you currently are. Then it moves on to trying things out and making intelligent choices. These choices in turn change your circumstances and even yourself, thus starting the whole process over again. Stated in classical Western philosophical terms, your life is an endless loop of being, doing, and becoming. This means that <strong>as a life designer, you\u2019re always succeeding at the infinite game of finding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-genius\/\">who you are<\/a> and meaningfully engaging with the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, to repeat, you\u2019re immune to failure\u2014it doesn\u2019t crush your spirit. This is true even for surprise events that you can\u2019t anticipate and that aren\u2019t part of your life design plans, such as the onset of a major illness. These become enfolded within your infinite game as you incorporate them into your process of being, doing, and becoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means, when you learn to leverage productive failure, you\u2019re free to do and pursue whatever you want because you\u2019re no longer afraid of how you\u2019ll feel if things don\u2019t work out the way you expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is productive failure?
