Making the effort

I put a lot of effort and time into the things I do, and want to achieve. Most of the time the effort pays off. Other times, not. There is something where I put a lot of effort into achieving, but fell short. And it hurts to have failed. But this effort, this part of journey, I would willingly, joyfully, embark upon it again. Even if it means paying the same costs and suffering the same fate.
