Here's an alternate framing for you: if you are living the life you want, then you are a failure. You have settled, you have ceased to strife, you're no longer growing and evolving and aspiring.

They'll die still not 'done', their dreams unreached… because those dreams were able to scale, those stars remained beyond their reach.
