Outcomes (and outputs) are there to improve our decision making process, not to validate our decision making process.

Right decision making does not necessarily lead to desired outcomes.
Wrong decision making can lead to desired outcomes.

Outcomes are needle points that should prick us into more conscious action.

Any outcome that does not improve our consciousness and action is a distraction; whether that outcome is clothed in success or failure. Such outcomes should be ignored – give them neither time nor space.

Any outcome that improves our consciousness and action is a blessing; whether that outcome is clothed in success or failure. Use it as a tool for its specific purpose. Avoid the urge to generalise its application.
