Yes. My learning disabled nephew struggled for 10 years at a career goal, and this month he achieved his lifelong dream. He wouldn't give up, and despite obstacles & setbacks, he made it. Happiest man I know.
I would also add that sometimes things change. Lessons learned and real life experience change your course. Celebrate the fact that you are able to learn those lessons and take that information and adjust your course accordingly. Just because your destination changes doesn’t mean you failed. It means you were smart enough to see the adjustments you needed to make based on the information and experience you’ve gained on your journey.
I told myself, I'd die if I don't quit drugs in 2020. I'm clean for 3+ years, fent and crack together. I lost everything that ment anything to me. That will never happen to me so long as I love myself.
