Self-esteem and confidences help us to see the best in ourselves. Negative thoughts works again them. Consider changing your thought process to positive when working on things. Also, when something does not go as expected look for the things that went right. Access what went wrong and work on making them better. For example, if you took a test and did not do as well as you wanted look at the preparation before the test. See where changes can be made. Sometimes, making small adjustments can increase positive outcomes. Work on changing how you view yourself and what you do.

Because trying hard is not enough. You should move smarter. And continuously. And also, people tend to fail because they expect they can do things themselves. But sometimes we also need other people to help.
We can also set goals if we want to make our efforts more realistic. You should get a big image of what you want to do, and make it more realistic. Like for example, "I want to live healthily." Then you make another goal. "I have to lose weights." After that, make it countable. "I should lose at least 5 kg." Then set a time limits and your programs. "In five weeks, I'll lose five kilograms by running every morning for at least 2 kilometers."

Fail is a strong word and I often wonder whether it belongs in the context of being human; machine parts can fail, but do we really fail? Our nature is to be goal seeking, but sometimes we don't complete the activities that take us all the way there, also sometimes we don't attain the measure, such as an exam, that has been set by others.
There are many things that could be at play, it could be that as you near completion you decide that it's not really what you wanted, or that a part of you feels you don't deserve it, or that if you attain it someone else will miss out.
Our motivation is usually at its highest when starting out (unless it's something 'we have to do' for someone else) and the motivation drops away the closer we get to the outcome. Part of the goal seeking journey is getting feedback so we can correct our course of action and get closer to the goal, so it's not really failing, it's feedback.
Consider that rather having failed, use the word as an acronym like From Action I Learn, or make up one that is meaningful for you.

We are often our worst critiques and we cannot be good at everything in life. We are human beings and we have a strengths and weaknesses. Be kind to yourself, show yourself the compassion you would show someone else knowing they have failed despite their best efforts. The main thing is that you try your best and for that reason you should be filled with pride. Effort means more than success. Be kind and compliment yourself on your effort just as you would anyone else. And no matter that effort always pays off in the end, so if you want it, don’t give up.

Nothing great comes easily. You will have to gain experience trying your hardest, you will master your skills whether you succeed or not. This process may become a real journey to the better version of yourself, not only to the goal achievement! There are constant features that stay with you till the very end: assertiveness, patience, inner strength to move forward no matter what. All these let you become unbreakable, and whenever you fail look back and perceive the whole way made. Look at the beginning and ask yourself: what would I be like if I didn’t step on the path? Did I ever loose anything during my journey? The only matter is that I expected something to get but I got something else and I can’t appreciate it.

The song goes, “When you try your best, but you can’t succeed, try try again.†This sounds cheeky, but as the saying goes, the person who never fails learns nothing, the person who fails a thousand times has found a thousand ways that is the wrong way. This is learning infinitely more than the person who never fails. To fail you have to have tried. The fact that you tried gives you a strength of character to rival any mythological hero. The child who doesn’t stand up after falling never learns to walk. You are strong, and will reign supreme in the end because as I said, you have found so many ways that don’t work.

Whether you succeed or not does not matter as much as you being able to keep on working at it and staying motivated. Mindset is what really matters, and if you have a positive mindset and outlook on life, you are destined to succeed. Don't think about past failures, the falls or the mistakes. Think about your future and what you want it to look like. Is what you are doing now helping you get where you want to be in the next 5, 10, 20 years? If not, change! Your past is your history but your future is your destiny.

Sometimes our efforts don't seem to correlate with the results we're getting- but eventually, trying hard to get better will lead to being stronger, and wiser, and a person of a different moral timbre than people who have not wrestled their own demons for a lifetime. Maybe they won't be easy to stave off, maybe it's a very long and exhausting fight to fight, but even though you don't see it, you're growing stronger and more beautiful every day because of this fight. And that in itself is a goal worthy of continuing to push forward and walk the path to feeling different and better.

If your definition of "succeeding" were "Daring to try", and "success" were every moment that you haven't failed yet because of your hard work, you could see yourself as a highly successful person with some major setbacks on the way.
Sometimes we fail because our best is not enough for our current definition of success - yet. Sometimes goals take more time, effort and resources than what we expected and we take on things trying our best before we are ready. Sometimes we overestimate our capacity, underestimate the challenge, or simply need to try more times (sometimes because of inexperience or unexpected inconveniences).
You are not defeated until you declare yourself defeated. Sometimes things are worth giving up on. But so long are you are still willing to try, you aren't defeated or failed yet, you just had a setback.

Sometimes , life can be difficult . Turn your failures into opportunities to try something else . Keep trying after failure . The main thing , don’t give up . Some of the most famous people failed . They kept trying and trying and trying. Write out how failure makes you feel and how to get over it . What has it taught you specifically ? If you were talking to a friend about failure , is this how you speak to yourself ? Don’t give up hope . Again, never giving up is the most important thing . Always see failure as a opportunity.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
