How to Keep Going When You’re Not Good at Something New

Everyone wants to be perfect in their life. But there must be something with which we are not comfortable and good at doing this. We feel lost and unsure, and then we give up doing those things. Want to know how to deal with not being good at something? Here you go!

Are you bad at everything? Then What to Do?

Firstly, it is impossible that you’re bad at everything. Yes, you may be bad at few things but trust me there must be at least one or two things you are good at. You just skip thinking how you could be better in your life. Giving up is not the last option. Are you excited to know if you’re good at something? Find your good sides by following these tricks:

Avoid doing competition with others. The time you’re investing by thinking about others, utilize that to be a better person
Don’t underestimate yourself because it will bring negative thoughts in you
Improve and maintain your skills. If you understood that something is missing in you, find and make a solution
Start doing the things which makes you happy. Choose your field according to your interest
Ignore the things which make you feel sad. Focus on your goal and your mind, you’ll definitely figure out the things you’re good at

Can someone be good at something they hate?

Yes, if you have dedication you can do everything productive. Skill is also important. May be you don’t like your job but you have to practice and continue work to fulfill your needs. These practices make you perfect for doing the job which you don’t like. If you’re a student there may be one or two subjects you don’t like, but for exams you read and got good marks in those subjects for a brilliant result. Like this you can be bad at something you love. Yes, you may love doing swimming but you don’t know properly how to swim. There must be someone who loves doing dancing, singing, recitation but they forgot the steps, lines while doing these. You just have to keep going with dedication/patience and perform the things you’re good or bad at.
