Where the average person fails is not having a clear purpose in life, and not having specific goals or one specific goal they are trying to accomplish. Without this the average guy is just floating around in life, allowing the random winds of life to push him around and bully him all throughout his lifetime. They never take control of their lives, never take responsibility nor accountability, and thereby they end up in a situation where they have to accept whatever life presents them as opposed to being able to dictate how they want their lives to go.
