I think 'not to fail too badly' should be an umbrella goal regardless of what you want to do. For example, I have an elderly relative in tenuous health, who might have to be looked after. I already know this, and should incorporate it into any resolutions.

writing "soft failures" into your goals would be a good idea yes. (a non-complete that is not a "failed" - so that you can attempt the goal again)
