well, we are digressing, so coming back to the topic. you will continue to fail as long you ask other regarding your setbacks.
we are kind of accustomed to solicit everything in our life. Under specific scenario, its lucrative to ask but it is not a kind of question that should be asked, because nobody ever could tell you the right facts. And, even if you are able to find the most proficient person and suppose he acquaint you with the exact reason of your failure then also imposition is not in his hand. Now-a-day, the main agenda of modern motivational speakers is to mentally aid you in imposing the desired things.
But, hold on, you have heard multitude of motivational speech but what is the cumulative outcome? 
The only way to halt the failure is to surge within, you know the exact reason of your setbacks or clutter, don't you? Besides, you also know which ones are factual and which are simply psychological. You have the privilege to know the whole story to its subtitles.Very rarely you will explore a factual hindrance in your path. But if the scenario is crystal clear, why we ask, why we spend much of our time in seeking? It is so because we don't know ourselves to a conducive extent or we are unconsciously trying to hide our incapability. The incapability of not being able to escape our lethargy. The incapability of not being able to accept our lazy nature.
Factually, there is no other reason than lethargy behind our failure. There can't be any other reason. The day we will be able to form an unwavering resolve about being utterly sincere towards our work suppressing our laziness, than that day we can mark as the termination of our failures.People who are in the habit of enjoying the comfort of inaction often pay a high price at the end.
"We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don’t. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success."
