Please stop trying
When you request someone to do something and they say "I'll try", do you count on that person to fulfill that request? Probably not, right? You may think that they are hedging their bets, that they are not really committing to anything.
IF and only if everything magically works out, and the stars align, they MIGHT fulfill your request . . . if nothing better comes along AND if they are in the mood . . .
Not a great model for commitment or action is it?
And yet we tell ourselves the same thing all the time.
"I will try"
These words have so much hesitancy and lack of commitment built in, that what you "try" will almost never happen.
Here is a little gem I came across on the internet today:
People who try . . .
T alk about their challenges
R ationalize their circumstances
Y ield to defeat
People who do . . .
D on't accept excuses
O vercome with action
As Jedi Master Yoda says: "No, try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."
So how about stop "trying" and start committing to take action?
