I love the words of James Michener in The Fires of Spring. Perhaps it's helpful to reflect on our lives from time to time. However even this, requires exceptional courage.
"For this is a journey that men make to find themselves. If they fail in this, it doesn't matter what else they find. Money, position, fame, many loves, revenge are all of little consequence; and when the tickets are collected at the end of the ride, they are tossed in a bin marked failure. But if a man happens to find himself, if he knows what he can be depended upon to do, the limits of his courage, the position from which he will no longer retreat, the extent of his dedication, then he has found a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the days of his life."
