Hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs - on the probabilities. || Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

You don't have to push yourself past your limit, even if you think you have to or if you think it will make you better. Sometimes we're at our best when we slow down, think for a while, and take the time to take in our surroundings. Its often then solutions and opportunities will show up before our eyes.

No one thing defines you.

This means that failing at something doesn't make you a failure.

It's okay to fail at things. It's okay to learn from those things or, in some cases, we realize those things aren't for us. You aren't a failure whether you "overcome" whatever the failure was, or whether you decided that it isn't for you. Maybe you failed at it a few more times before getting it or even just being done with it. You still are not a failure.
