There are many justifiable reasons you can give as to why fail. I did not finish school because I had a child. I did not apply for that job because I had a sure position already. I did not write that book because no one would want to read my story. You can give thousands of reasons not to do something, however, you only need one reason to do everything.
What is your one reason? What is that one thing you can use to motivate you to be all that you dreamed of? Joel Osteen said that a ship only sinks because of the water on the inside, not because of the water on the outside. What is on the inside of you that is holding you back? What negative comments are you telling yourself daily as to why you cannot accomplish your goals? When will you start grabbing the bucket and emptying out the waters.
Each and everyone has a particular purpose you must fulfill. God has entrusted a talent to you to uncover a treasure in your life during a particular time. What will your report be when the master asks, "What have you done with that which I entrusted to you?" Work in a way that your treasure will be double, your talents maximize and your time use efficiently. Remember our days are numbered. Let us make the best of each second.
