You only continue to do things you think are good because the people around you seem to encourage or accept it. But, if you try to uncover what is objectively good, and applies to all people, at all places, and at all times, you will find yourself in the middle of an age-long ethical dilemma.
Setbacks are parts of your success story, just as huddles are part of a huddle race. Failure is proof you were headed somewhere. In the face of challenges and setbacks, we often have two choices: give up or keep going. Persistence will drive you towards the latter choice.
