There are lots of things that can be said about this approach, many favorable. Risk vs. Reward - you have to take risks (and suffer the consequences) to obtain the eventual reward. Intentional Failure - many motivational speakers talk about failure being the key to success; you have to fail many times to learn a lot. There’s even an approach called Intentional Fast Failure (IFF) that takes that philosophy to it’s ultimate purpose. Keep failing by trying things, but do it quickly and learn, and don’t be discouraged. You’re likely moving in the right direction.
I recently heard someone say: “If you don’t have a plan, you can’t fail.” Meaning that plans set you up for expectations and when it doesn’t go according to plan you think you failed. So I inquired what he meant, and he stated that of course you have to have a plan … but he was still searching to solve the conundrum.
I think what he was trying to say, put into my own interpretation, is that you need both processes: 1) you have to set some kind of vision, intention, goal, plan or objective in order to achieve something; 2) but you also need a flexibility and adaptability to see where that energy naturally leads. Forcing things by only the will of the ego can be disastrous. Find the natural flow like the course of a river. A river is chaotic at times, as well as peaceful and serene at other times. You can’t easily predict where a river will flow, but the plan is to flow. The river will flow. Where it flows remains to be seen and experienced.
