Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to/of/for a personal failure.

Hello, everyone.

I am wondering which sentence should be used from the list below:

1) Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to a personal failure.
2) Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee of a personal failure.
3) Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee for a personal failure.

Are all of them correct? Is any of them better than the others?

I tried to google 'guarantee + to/of/for' but the results are inconclusive for me...
