As time passes if we are struggling with work or studies and need help but the people who can help are not there, not because they do not want to but because you are not able to convince them with your efforts.

This means you are lacking in pushing yourself , you are struggling because you are half-heartedly leaving bad habits and also half-heartedly putting efforts into your life goals… 

I think it is not considered “life goals” as you are not thinking that “your life depends on your goals”.

1. Friendship stays when there are efforts from both sides.(atleast you should do your side of work)

2.Always happily sacrifice for your better future.
