Hard Work and No Results- What Then?

Life is funny. We've always been told that if you work hard enough, practice enough, do enough, you will eventually see the results.


But what if you don't?

There are no guarantees after all. What happens if you consistently give something your best effort? What if you try really hard, and its still not good enough?

Some people are ok with giving something a shot, settling for the comforting knowledge that they gave it a shot. While they might have failed though, they took a risk and tried something. They challenged themselves and see their lives better for it.

But others, they cannot accept the failure- cannot accept the thought of not succeeding at something they wanted so much, desired so greatly. Despite all actions, success was not granted.

In these instances of constant work and effort, when do we decide to give up? When is the dream no longer reachable? Does one give up because no results are seen?

When do we decide to pull the trigger on our work?
