There is no limitation to what you can achieve in life. The only limitation to achieving great feats in life is the one set by you. Therefore, no matter what you are going through; no matter where you are at the moment, be admonished that it is not yet over. There is always a chance to start over. If you have failed on any project, there is good news for you: the word “fail” simply means ‘First Attempt in Learning”. You can start all over again. The fact that you are alive is an indication that you still have a second chance. Hear Helen Keller “when one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed-door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us”
What this implies is that you do not need to continuously brood over what has happened as you have no power over it. You must be aware that what has been done cannot be undone. You can begin again when you see any setback in life as a learning process and press on with a positive attitude. There is nothing that happens to man in life that God does not know about. This thus suggests that whatever happens to us has a purpose and nothing happens by accident.
If you allow this to sink into your system, you will begin to see that the story of a man does not always unfold like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four; sometimes in life they make five or even minus three, and sometimes the black-board topples down in the middle of the sum, leaving the teacher with the black eye! We must therefore not lose sight of the fact that obstacles are there to toughen and prepare us for the challenges ahead.
This realization is possible depending on how you view any predicament you find yourselves in. Do you see the half-filled cup of water as “half-empty” or “half-full”? The way you describe such a cup of water will go a long way to depict your outlook on life. Imbibe a positive attitude to life and you will reach higher altitude and change your life for ever.

One US presidet once said, “Success is never final and Failure is never fatal.’ I really get it
You are so right. Some of the successful people in life went through the most historic failures. They just got up and pushed on.
