Stop Feeding Failure: A Fresh Path to Success for Driven Achievers Today
Posted on August 28, 2025 by German Diaz, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Discover how the focus you choose—on failures or on wins—shapes your reality and determines whether you shrink or grow.
Introduction
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you achieve, people only notice your mistakes?
If so, this article is for you—because the focus you choose, on wins or on failures, will decide whether you shrink or grow.
The Einstein Lesson
Albert Einstein once gave a timeless lesson. He wrote on the blackboard:
9 × 1 = 9
9 × 2 = 18
9 × 3 = 27
9 × 4 = 36
9 × 5 = 45
9 × 6 = 54
9 × 7 = 63
9 × 8 = 72
9 × 9 = 81
9 × 10 = 91
The students laughed—because, of course, 9 × 10 equals 90, not 91.
Einstein calmly said:
“I got nine correct answers, but no one noticed. The moment I made one mistake, everyone laughed. This is how society works: focus goes to errors. My advice—never let criticism destroy your dreams.”
So ask yourself: Are you feeding your failures or fueling your success?
What You Focus On Expands
Ever bought something “unique,” only to suddenly see it everywhere? That’s not coincidence—it’s your focus at work.
Try this: look around for everything brown. Now close your eyes and recall red or green objects. Harder, right? Because focus directs awareness.
Life is the same: what you choose to see, expands.
Becoming a “Police Officer” of Mistakes
From childhood, many of us were trained to spot errors, not wins. We become “police officers” of mistakes, magnifying the negative while ignoring the positive.
And it’s not just others—we do it to ourselves. Constantly replaying your failures makes them grow in your mind. The more energy you give to brokenness, the more brokenness you feel.
So again: Are you feeding your failures or fueling your success?
Ask yourself:
What results is your focus creating—progress or frustration?
What are you losing by feeding what doesn’t work?
And what could you gain by fueling what does?
Shift Your Focus, Shift Your Life
This isn’t about ignoring mistakes—it’s about choosing what deserves your energy.
Focus on possibilities.
Celebrate progress, however small.
Fuel your success, and success will multiply.
Your reality isn’t just what happens—it’s what you choose to focus on. And focus is what transforms your daily experience.
Final Thoughts
The world doesn’t need another person stuck in negativity. It needs you alive, expanding possibilities, and fueling success.
So here’s the challenge: Are you feeding your failures or fueling your success?
The choice is yours. And your focus will determine the life you live.
