Why is it that trying hurts. Hear me out... Trying does not just mean getting up and doing no, it takes preparing both physically and mentally it takes thinking it through to find the best action plan there is then it takes the motion both mentally and physically and most likely if you are trying anything it involves other people and if you don't execute your try hard and well enough to someone you have failed. that is why trying hurts. so much goes in but negative only comes back.
