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

It depends on what you mean by failing. I think that if you try your best effort on something, even if you don't meet your expectations in terms of results, you will still learn what what you accomplished. For example, if you enter into a competition but you didn't win an award, you still accomplished and learned a lot in the process of competing! In my opinion, if you learned something in the process and put in your best effort, that should always be counted as a success, not a failure.

First, is it true you always fail? Sometimes it may feel that way, but when we take a good look, we discover we've done many things right, too. So give yourself some credit! Then take a hard look at your mistakes. Why did they happen? Were you less prepared than you thought? Were you too anxious to perform your best? Were aspects of your personal life distracting you? Once you identify the reason for the poor performance, you can take action to change it. Don't waste energy belittling yourself for past mistakes. Instead, channel it into making changes that will increase your chances of success.

Firstly, the word 'fail' is subjective. What does it mean to fail? With this question, the opposite comes naturally. What does it mean to succeed? Society has largely defined success very narrowly, when in reality, real success is when someone gives it their all and tries their hardest, pushing themselves to their maximum potential. The truth is that you aren't failing at all when you're trying your hardest, but succeeding honorably and greatly. Find what you're good at and do that. Remember this quote... “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” - Albert Einstein.

I feel as though we grow and learn from failure. If we never failed, we would never grow because making mistakes teaches us so much more than always doing things perfectly. The more you fail, the more you learn and I believe this is something very important to keep in mind. As long as you give it your best shot and try your hardest every time, that is all that matters. The worst thing you can do is give up. Giving up and no longer trying is what failing wants you to do. It wants you to feel stuck. But we must learn from our failures and continue to grow.

There is nothing wrong with failure. In fact it is only the surest way to success. Everyone fails. It's all part of the learning process. Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded. Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps. The fastest way to succeed is to double your failure rate. The only real failure is giving up. As any successful professional or entrepreneur. Persistence always wins out in the end.

Perhaps using the word "fail" isn't much helpful. We might try to achieve something specific in our life and not get the result that we originally had in our mind, but this is certainly not a failure. On the contrary, we can always try again and learn something new about ourselves and the world around us. Isn't that a win? Remember, as long as you try for a goal, you will always learn and this is actually the way to grow! There is always room from improvement, as long as you don't give up trying! If you see what you call "failure" as an opportunity, you will become able to see clearly how to improve yourself.

One thing you should know that No-one ever fails. we set our own personal standards so high that we are never likely to reach them. the answer to the question goes here: Because we give up on our dreams, we don't find where we're falling and why? Failing is a normal part of human nature. Even the most successful people have failed many times before succeeding. Practice strategy, concentration, planning, hard-working, and determination are a few words to describe what you might need to succeed. Success is not easy. but if you really want it then you will find a way. It might take time and you might even make more mistakes. Sometimes you even need to find new paths, be open-minded and creative about decision making. When you put your mind into "survival mode"(meaning trying your best) then you are able to be much more effective in how you do anything. Success might require a lot of skills and maybe a few really well skill. Try to find out what you're skilled at and want to be skilled at and what you enjoy. Many people are skilled very well at the things they enjoy the most because it makes it much more easier for them to do so. But even then it can get very hard and you might want to quit. Just remember, as long as you try in life, you no longer will be worried even when you failed something. Because you will still have the other chance to succeed. If your chance to succeed is even 0.00000001% then you can still succeed. It takes a focus and commitment to be a successful person.

You never fail unless you quit. If you want to find answer, you can try self introspection. Ask yourself questions like 1. The efforts you have put... Are they enough to achieve something? 2. Do you really enjoying the process of achieving something?.. Or is it that you only care about the result? If you enjoy the process of learning, then you never fail. Because you have learnt so many things, you get lessons to improve yourself further. Just look back before starting something and at the end, you may not be the winner, but you will surely be the better version of yourself. Keep learning, there will be the day you will get what you deserve. All the best!

Our brains tend to focus on our failures. I was in a class once that talked about how our brains are programmed to remember embarrassing moments much longer than we remember good memories in which we felt good about ourselves. The same thing can be said with failure. We remember all of the things that we have done wrong way longer than the things we accomplish. There are so many more amazing accomplishments that we succeed at everyday that you may not even recognize. Did you wake up today? You didn't fail at that. Did you get out of bed today? You didn't fail at that. Did you try your hardest to be the best version of yourself? You didn't fail at that. Allow yourself to celebrate the little victories and you might find that you don't always fail at the level that you think you do.

I understand it must be hard for you to keep trying when you're constantly failing, but you're failing actually means you're trying and learning. If you never had failed that would mean you never tried. Maybe each time analyse and try doing something different. This way you will also know what things are working and what are not working for you. And it's better to get 1% better each time you fail than never trying and never failing. You can also talk to someone who has more experience in same field, or look up to them. Life is about learning.
