Why do I always fail even when I try my hardest?

In your lifetime, you will fail many times. But that is how you succeed. Failing is not meant to be taken as a bad thing. Once you fail, you will know what to avoid doing next time. Trial and Error is the best way around something. If you don't succeed, try try again. Sometimes your best isn't enough. And that's okay.

We try our hardest and the result isnt what we wanted, nor was it fast enough. 'WE' judge the result of our actions and desires. The warfare is in the mind, its how we think its how we feel. We always judge ourselves too harshly. We can be very fast to come to the aid of a friend with encouragement. But when it comes to ourselves are often the worst critic. The only 'failure' is in giving up. We give up when we cant tolerate the pain and discomfort. pain and discomfort from feeling we're falling short of our expectations. Wait you say, its other people telling me this too. Anyone who ever tells you you're a failure is a liar, period. Why do we seem to take their negative comments to heart without thinking about them? Why are we so ready to think the worst of ourselves? Human Nature and the teachings of our society. Concentrate on the process over the product. Dont look just at the end result, look at the deep process needed to get there. It takes alot of time, hard work and working properly. yea, all the things we dont want to do these days. We want to skim along and 'try' things. YOLO, right? It's cool to have a look around and taste life. But if you really want to be good at something then suspend your disbelief. You believe you will fail and you look at you're progress and comapre yourself with everyone else and the stress and anxiety make it alot harder. So relax. Try and believe in yourself but give this thing time. Decide you really want to do this. understand it will take time and effort. Its not about being great for awhile. For awhile its all about learning. Study, try, learn from mistakes and change ...LEARN FROM MISTAKES...and keep pushing. From my life...if you're inner dialog is about how you cant do or dont know how to do then youre not giving yourself a chance. Change that dialog to study. If you cant or dont know how to do it then dig deeper. Establish a routine of work/study. maybe it takes you longer, no problem. If it say takes you an extra two years to get your degree who cares, cause you have that degree. So relax, dont be so hard on yourself. Dont set yourself up and catch your negative inner dialog and say it out loud if ya have to..."I CAN and WILL do this". Tell yourself you'll spend the time and effort and GIVE yourself that time and not judge yourself. Do it because you enjoy it and just get lost in the PROCESS.....Life is a process....live.

It's ok, that's just because you expected a lot more from you and had really high standarts so you feel like you're failing when you not necessairily did :)

We never fail when we try our best. Your effort just isn't being recognised, but you shouldn't see it as a failure because we always grow a lot by making our hardest. Maybe the way you are trying hard isn't valuing you effort. For example: if you need to study for a test and you try to just study all the time and every day, you are probably going to burn yourself out. It's important to be healthy in all aspects of life (social, phisical, mental, spiritual) so that your performance keeps good. So if something like that is happening, you can learn with your mistakes and make much better in your next try!

You will get results when you put this effort in the right direction & when you sharpen your axe before cutting down a tree.

We decide a limit for ourself, we give our best and think that I have tried hardest, but try but push yourself more than that and eventually you will succeed.

Sometimes your brain is consuming to much and you need to relax and take a deep breath and not over work yourself since there is only a certain amount we can all take

Did you choose something out of your skill level? Did you allow yourself mistakes, knowing that nothing is perfect? Are the things you 'fail' at difficult in any way? Were you too stressed, sick, or multitasking? Did you spend enough time thinking about the exact outcome, not just the one you hoped for? Did someone simply not appreciate what you did? All of these could lead to feelings of failure.

Sometimes, even after trying so hard, we don't get those opportunities that we need or the platform where we can display our talent. Consistency & patience, maybe, is the key besides hard trials.

Maybe you need to look at your task from a different angle, and create a new plan - then try again.
