Are you less of a person If you're not all you can be?

How does a person know they are not all they can be? People choose therefore they are all they can be by what they choose to be. If we're talking about living up or down to the standards of others, failure is most likely to occur over living to one's own standards.

What is failure other than incompleteness? Failure is what we believe of ourselves.

I must admit I do feel guilty that I don't do more to help others. I'm still fit and there is no reason not to help with a charity. I just find it difficult to get on with people, and charities very quickly have expectations of you.
 
"What is failure other than other than incompleteness?"

I've failed a number of times but my failings never made me feel incomplete. Failing is like falling. You just get up and try again or try another approach. Then success is even sweeter.
 

I’m not sure I can answer this.
I’m not sure who or what I was supposed to be in the first place. I try my best to be a good wife to my husband, a good mom to our pet family, a good neighbour and do my best with extended family that I can. Since I’m human, I make plenty of mistakes but I’m hard on myself. If I’m being negative, I beat myself up mentally but when I realize that mistakes are opportunities for growth and merely lessons to learn from, I breathe in a sigh of relief and carry on.

You just answered it...you're the best you can be, but you sometimes limit yourself with negative internal dialog.
You're working on that, so kudos! Most people don't even recognize it.

Oh NO! My friend!
We all grow on different paths, with different values, at different rates. In our soul, we are in all perfection.
There is no failure. You may need in one area but be a genius in spirituality, or sexually, or intellectually. We all grow in spurts!

Aw, I'm a frustrated preacher and this question brings it out.

With your permission:
Life takes many forms, physical and spiritual. The life force is given manifestation through the soul. Life in the most glorious sense is from the soul.
This force of life energy is to be brought to the surface and felt in it's entirety. This is a force of God's presence within each soul. Emerge now to the highest strength. Be the most wonderful being you are capable of becoming. Feel this within you. Greet each moment with an expectation of wonderment. This moment is a planned wonder of your consciousness. In your next encounter, look, listen, feel, care. A depth of feelings will emerge. Be ready and prepared to recieve wonders in the life.
FEEL THE SOUL!
Lift the being of the soul to it's heights!
Be your soul in all perfection. Be talents, be courage, be wisdom, be music, be laughter, be bliss. joy, love.
Be kindness.
Waken each morning happier and more joyful.
Tell yourself today is the best day of your life.

That’s beautiful but I’m jealous.
Im going to work on feeling this way every morning. I like your attitude about life in general.

"The moral theme of Great Expectations is quite simple: affection, loyalty, and conscience are more important than social advancement, wealth, and class."
 
Other's often "try" to impose their preconceived high standards on others, guilt trip them if you will, if you don't live up to their supposed hypocritical standards, you are less than you could be.

Love yourself, the rest will fall in place.

I coulda' had class. I coulda' been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.

But at least I'm still here, which is an accomplishment, I guess. Survival is something.

Why would you consider yourself a bum?
Everyone is quality special no matter what their career, social status, physical appearance etc.
