That's I why I tend toward the Stoicism view of the world.
The tl:dr version is, discipline is a virtue. Your goal should always be living according to your virtues, therefore you achieve happiness through the act of practicing discipline itself, rather than the outcome of being disciplined. The idea being that you only have control over yourself (being disciplined) but do not have control over externals (whether or not the discipline produces the desired outcome). You shouldn't weigh your happiness on externals which you can't control.
This is a pretty poor write-up to be honest, and really only scratches the surface, but it might be sufficient to get the point across.

I recently heard “Failure isn’t an option. It’s a requirement.” And it makes the setbacks more palatable for some reason.

Many inventors went back and invented some of the things he "prooved would not work"
The quote is as bad as the dudes morality.

Regret is such a useless and pointless emotion. Regret does nothing to change the past and it nothing to help you in the present. Instead, accept your mistake, learn from it, grow as a person, and motivate yourself to do better next time. Dwelling on the past is a waste of time.

I'm certain Joel Osteen also said this while collection plates were passed

So like “You can have anything in life you want if you sell a lot of stuff to people”?
Yeah, that’s capitalism.

Don't forget the pain of reading bad inspirational advice.
