Failure Does not Guarantee Success!

I do not think failure automatically launches a person to success. I have failed in my life without remedy. I think it is entirely up to me if i fail or better yet, stay in failure. A few things I have to consider. Am i motivated enough to pay the cost? Do I have the talent or ablity to succeed in some area? Am i smart enough for the task I  want to succeed at? Just to name a few.

I dont agree with society these days saying I can be whatever I want. Just a little hard work and commitment and I can be what I want to be. Although I do agree with the above it does not guarantee success. I have wasted time in my life trying to succeed at something I had no business trying to begin with.

I am not saying dont try at something I just wish I would have counted the cost more than I did at times. If I build a house I must count the cost to be sure I can complete it.
