Here's the thing: We're all a failure in most areas of life. Really.

I'm not good at fixing cars, or running marathons, or doing woodwork, or soldering, or cooking, or art, or fashion, or yardwork, or interacting with kids.

I'm not good at most jobs. There are something like 50,000 different job categories, and it keeps going up, and I am no good at almost all of them.

Just keep looking. There's something you'll be good at - in fact, better than most people. (You've got a job? Start by looking around at what other people do there. See if there's a way that you can try it for a bit. It's always better to get paid for your looking.)
