Well, that depends, how do people who've lost limbs still wake up with a smile on their faces? How do people who've been wrongfully imprisoned for decades still say that it was the best experience of their lives? Why do some people drop out of school and live out their lives in quiet desperation, while others go on to build great businesses and enjoy their lives?
The answer is in how you handle failure. Pretty fundamental PD thing. I'd recommend reading Failing Forward.
This isn't about LoA working or not working. This is about you. You seeked help back when you were depressed. Don't quit now, if you haven't.
