Failures will always happen in life, and energy spent being upset over it is wasted energy. Instead, you must look for the silver lining. Life does not exist as you think it does and there are literally billions of ways at looking at a situation (there are 6 billion people on earth, so at least that many!) You need to look for opportunities that exist even in hardship. Look for something, anything, that improves the situation, even if it is slightly. Life will never go exactly as you wish and if you know that yet still become upset over it, you are only making yourself miserable over a fact of life. The analogy I often use is, say you are starving and wandering a wasteland. You haven't eaten in days and you happen to spot a patch of carrots, but you HATE carrots more then any other food. Now there's no real consideration that you won't eat the carrots, but will you do so thinking "Life must really want me to suffer, all I get are carrots!" or "I am saved! Maybe carrots aren't so bad after all!" One mindset is defeated from the begining and will not last long with that outlook. The latter is far more resilient and hopeful. This outlook would strengthen your resolve to survive. If you don't like the view, learn to change your perspective and you will be happy even in the worst failures.

What kind of failures are you talking about? Failures in our materialistic goals? Failures towards feeding our desires? I don't think these failures imply that we have lost our life. These are just small battles. Losing these battles shouldn't matter much. We gotta win the war - The war of life! And this war is not about these petty battles. It's about the way we live, the way we maintain the environment (both natural and social) around us.
I may fail to comply against my dreams, I may fail to achieve my goals, but once I fail to be a good human being, I fail in my life.
Let us start the other way round. What is success? It's not achieving what we want. It's achieving anything without disturbing global harmony and still remain in total peace with ourselves. I mean, the purpose is not just served if I could be the richest person in the world through some inhumane acts. My conscience would rather bother me about those acts.
Whatever we do, our ultimate goal is not to earn a lot of money, or earn fame, etc. Our ultimate goal is always to be a good human being. Once you realize your contribution as one, your life would never remain miserable. Inspite of your failures towards few materialistic goals, you would be satisfied with yourself.
All the best...

dear friend,
It is not only u who suffer from failures.Every individual have failures and sorrows. It is upto to them how they face it. There is a general proverb that "Failures are the stepping stones for success". So when u face some failures think that there is better things to bring u success. No failures makes life miserable. It is the thing which will bring upliftment in your life. So face life with joy. To avoid miserable u think that these failures are going to change your life to success. All the best my friend.

Miri,
I can only say that your attempts may fail, but never fail to make an attempt.
Life is the sides of the coin one could get a tail or a head, which ever you deserve despite success or failure.
Happiness always looks small when we hold it in our hands... But when we learn to share it, we realize how big and precious it is!.....
So don't search happiness here and there it is within the atmosphere you live in , Observe a small child you will be able to laugh at his activities, if you want to else you will be angry.
Last but not the least" NEVER SEARCH YOUR HAPPINESS IN OTHERS WHICH WILL MAKE YOU FEEL ALONE, RATHER SEARCH IT IN YOURSELF YOU WILL FEEL HAPPY EVEN IF YOU ARE LEFT ALONE.............."

If you try to know the reason for failure and will not repeat it, and take every failure as a stepping stone and then succeed again, then you will gradually able to be not disappointed and disheartened .There by you will not be sad first of all.Gradually if you are fundamentally a happy person, you will continue in such circumstances too.

I don't think you can be happy when you fail but you can definitely think positive. Failures aren't the end of the world. They make us realise our mistakes and we have to learn from them. But if you think negatively then it will be difficult to progress after our failures. When things don't go right for me and I feel miserable, I think of what I still have...like my health, my education, my family etc etc....things which still are an asset to me. I decide I have to move on and I never forget to pray. That has kept me going and has also helped me.

You can make yourself happy by learning from your mistakes... U will make yourself happy by not repeatng the same mistakes again and again...
When these failures make life so miserable... My Dear, your life cannot be made miserable unless you want it to be... i know sometimes the things aren't in our hands, things happen... but; what you have in your hands is; how to create Good out of Bad...
No one can force you to be sad... No one regularly whispers in your ear "STAY SAD YOUR LIFE IS MISERABLE"... Its you... Its in your mind that regularly say to you "STAY SAD YOUR LIFE IS MISERABLE"... so don't let that feeling haunt you... come out of it... try, slowly, you will feel better towards your life...
and of course don't let anyone make you feel guilty about your mistakes... or make you remind of your mistakes again and again... Just Move On.... Find out what you can do the best, and what you want from your life... and then go for it... don't let anyone come in between you and your life...
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT... so stay happy... despite infinite failures... failures is just a part of life; its not life...

take one day at a time. ideally dont dwell on your past and learn from your mistakes and think even failures open up a new meaning in life, new options. do analyse cause of failure and dont make them again. Failures happen to most of us and u are not alone. be optimistic and time is a great healer.

you have choices in life, you can be happy, or not. Mistakes and failures are a very important part of how we learn in life, If you choose to be happy, you suck all the lessons from those mistakes / failures and move on an enlightened person. if you don't have the inclination to be happy, then you dwell on the million and one "what ifs" and "If onlys" until they smother you in a black cloud of dispair.
Learning is one of the joys of being human, and you cannot learn without making mistakes.
