Failed my exam to be a Registered Dietitian for the 3rd time this morning, by 1 point. Also lost my job because of it. In search of motivation and words of wisdom to not give up and keep trying!

Let me start by saying that things could be a lot worse. I’m 100% aware of that. I was smart and chose not to move out of my parents house until I passed the exam. I’ve been saving money, financially I’m stable. I have to wait 45 days to retake the exam. If I finally pass, I can start applying for jobs instantly and likely be employees with the month. I strongly disliked the job I had anyways. I feel a lot of the reasoning behind why I’ve failed all 3 times is because I had this external pressure each time from my job to pass and I was so worried about letting them down.

I’ve done nothing but study for this exam over the last year (took it the first time in May of last year, second time this past March and third time this morning).

Are there any words of wisdom you all can provide to help me see past the negatives and motivate me to keep trying because right now I am so down on myself and feel so lost in my life. I’m almost 28 years old, jobless, living with my parents and single. I’ve never felt worse about myself.
