"So often we search out the impossible - and then throw ourselves into trying to do it...............................................Anonymous
If we have an inner rule that says we must fail, one way to obey this miserable directive is to take on only impossible tasks and then predicate our self-worth on the outcome.
Such tasks may be impossible by their very nature (as in changing someone who does not want to be changed), or by circumstance (as in attempting to accomplish a two-year project in a week, or by our lack of personal qualification (as in an all-thumbs person who insists on being a brain surgeon). Any of these tasks will be "successful" for us because we certainly will fail at them. And unless we've gotten some insight into the insanity of the old rules, the more impossible the task is, the harder we'll try to accomplish it.
There are no born losers. We all deserve to win. Let's be sure we're taking on our next task not because it can't be done, but because it can.

No matter what the old messages say, I will not set myself up for failure.
