You are not considered a failure as long as you keep trying at something! Not all things work out the way we plan in the first place. Not all things are right for us. Looking at the end only, that maybe you didn't finish the particular project, goal etc is not fair to yourself! We simply must include all the various events that were concurrently taking our time and energy, all the other aspects of our life at the time.

We learn from the journey, not just what the end result is.

You folks are NOT failures in my eyes!
