Just because you fail at a particular thing doesn't mean you're a failure.

Just because you aren't a failure, in general, doesn't mean that you can't fail at a particular thing.

The things I want most not to fail at are pleasing God and living true to myself, and all these take are moment-by-moment awareness of, and adherence to, what actions I believe are required by the mandates to "please God" and "live true to myself." This task is both laughably simple and the hardest thing I've ever tried to do.
