What do you do when the thing you tried most still fails? There are things we want but we are unable to achieve it not because we lack the courage to do it but circumstances just push us down, circumstances/situations stop us from realizing our dreams or achieving our goals.
what do you do???

My advice to you, is to keep trying. And remember this famous ancient roman saying: "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."
Good luck to you! And one more thing, if you have a positive outlook on your situation, it will turn out for the better.

i failed a couple of times in my life... even those that i considered most significant. i kept trying hoping soon i will make it... but there are times the truth just slap me straight in the face and realize that what i want was not what my God wants for me, and so it just hit me.. i forgot to kneel down and simply ask for His will... So the next time i set a goal or perhaps a certain dream, i just close my eyes and say "Thy will be done".... this may sound like "holier than thou" kind of thing but i tell you its easier said than done because there are a lot of times when i feel stubborn myself and really push it despite signs His disapproval.... heehe

Thank you... thank you very much for the thoughts. Yes, I agree. There are things we really want and keep on pushing ourselves to get it and just forget that not all the things we want can be ours. God knows what to give and when to give... failing may also tests our patience. it teaches us to persevere. it strengthens our faith that God knows what is best for us. That failing may not necessarily mean giving up but moving on and with greater faith that these things happen for a reason. And we should learn from it.
*sigh*...
but how do we know that it's not meant for us???? that it's not meant to be afterall. Are we giving up? Or still try and try and somehow realize it? Dilemna...

try to achieve it then. whats else? if every trying already tried hard by us but still not work out?if we still pressure our selves to reach it (although actually those things is not suit to us thats why we getting fail to get it), the only thing that we would have is depression and stress feeling. something sure should be in your mind and heart that everything has reason. why you failed to reach your dream is not because you not trying hard to get it. it might be there is another thing better for you that more suit for your self
