Have failed at almost everything I've attempted; Here I go again.

Stop putting yourself under so much pressure with setting such unrealistic goals.

How about just starting lifting and eating clean for a start and taking care of the academic programm?

Has anybody here ever overcome a long history of consistent failure? if so, how?

Do you have any friends who plan to do the same thing as you, or even already live the lifestyle that you want?

Being around people with common goals is pretty motivating, as long as they aren't fucking slacking, which is why you might want to try being around somebody who's made it already. In high school I was friends with a guy in the grade above me, and I looked up to him. He wasn't RP or anything (actually really BP now that I think about it), but he did really well in school, was pretty fit, good at sports (we were on swim team together) and had other qualities I wish I had. Not sure how he did with women but despite being a horny teenager I didn't care back then. Even after he left, I was motivated enough to try and be like him that I was about to get the highest marks in five different subjects, try harder in swim team, etc. Before then, I never really gave a fuck about achieving anything, so I guess looking up to him helped me end the "long history of consistent failure" that was my life up to that point, as least somewhat.

I briefly read a post somewhere in the reddit TRP forums saying that "we are the people we hang out with" or something like that. Finding the right people to associate with definitely helps.
