Mohandas Gandhi — also affectionately known as Mahatma — led India's independence movement in the 1930s and 40s by speaking softly without carrying much of a big stick, facing down the British colonialists with stirring speeches and non-violent protest.

Is life a series of successes and failures, or an experiment?
I invite you to reflect on your life over the past five years. Consider the key events that shaped your experience, that helped form how you view the world today. How do you feel about those experiences? What is the story about your past that shapes how you see the world today?
These questions came to me as I finished reading Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography, titled “Experiments in Truth”. Gandhi’s emphasis on life as an experiment is an important distinction to a typical perspective of life as a series of successes and failures.
How do you frame your life?
My recent research into performance-based self-esteem highlighted a tendency to view our life as a series of successes and failures. At any given point in time we are deemed as winning or losing based on:
some point in our past or assumed future,our perceptions of those around us, orsome other perceived standard we accept from society or others.
