@dina_1111_: It’s interesting how much of what we consider personal failure comes from expectations we never consciously chose. We inherit ideas about success, happiness, and who we’re supposed to become, then spend years judging ourselves against them. We spend so much time seeking approval that we sometimes lose sight of who we actually are. And the years we think we wasted might be the very experiences that help us see things differently. Reconsider what you call failure. #alanwatts #philosophy #beyondthenoise #unlearning #criticalthinking
