I try to determine if my means have failed in some unexpected way, or whether my means aren't capable of producing the desired outcome.

If neither applies, I conclude that I didn't really want the outcome in the first place and that my desires are rejecting the imposition that my consciousness is trying to force on them. I update my understanding of what I want and move on.
