Sure. But you'll be way closer to your goal than if you never tried.
And oftentimes I find the pursuit of the goal gave me skills and experiences that I would not trade for the end result
The routine, the consistency, the competition, the lessons, the improvement, etc. These are great, applicable skills to all aspects of life
And the end goal is often not a great thing to obtain anyway. What's a gold medal to someone vs the overall health you obtain from the training?
What's the validation and recognition from the masses to disciplining yourself in all aspects of life?
These are things you don't gain by never trying in the first place
