We are responsible for just ourselves, our growth, maturity, and character building. None of us has arrived yet, and we will continue to grow and learn till our departure from this earth. As individuals, we need to take time out and take “stock” of our lives relating to where we find ourselves at this given point in time. It's never too late to make changes to one's life, the changes we make today determine where we find ourselves tomorrow, good or bad. You are not a failure simply because you failed, you only fail when you stop trying. Failing is just a life lesson on how to do it differently the next time, we should embrace it and see it as a learning curve preparing us for even greater things. Giving up is simply not an option. There is always hope.
