It does not matter if you are failing. What matters is that if we believe that the oversoul created individuals with the proper skillset to tackle on pretty much anything that comes our way, then we will have the inner ability to find peace in every negative situation we can be put in - and we also have the ability to fail in the most "you cant mess this up" situations as well, if we are in a state of fear. Just remember that all of us is armed differently in this regard, and our failures are not meant to be measured against each other, but only against its own goals and its own plans. Because as soon as we measure ourselves against "other-selves", we place the key to our happiness once again in an external force, and become co-dependant.
This is something I still need to work on. I often fall into this hole of self-doubt when I try to compare my life to the achievements of others. Even though I KNOW that none of that matters my mind sometimes likes to linger on those thoughts.
