Getting and keeping things of real value takes work, you must seek the Lord and learn from your failures too. Never quit striving to get it right.
Read: Hosea 10:12
12 I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness,
and you will harvest a crop of love.
Plow up the hard ground of your hearts,
for now is the time to seek the LORD,
that he may come
and shower righteousness upon you.’
