As soon as we say that we are “trying” to do something, we build into our intention the potential for failure or, at the very least, limited success.
When we say that we are “doing” something, it sets us up to succeed right out of the gate.
Most people cling to “try” statements simply out of fear; I see this on a regular basis in my office. There is a subconscious fear that many have about succeeding in their dreams and goals, (in achieving much needed healthy weight loss) so it feels safe to use a word like “try” instead of stronger affirmative language like “I am” or “I will” or “I do.”
It’s easy to say “try;” that word has an excuse built right into it.
Trying is an illusion. There really is no “try;” there is only DO or DON’T.
You either do something or you do not; trying is passively making excuses not to fully embrace or do what you state you want, or must, accomplish.
Trying is passive.
Doing is active.
Anyone who has ever achieved a goal knows in their hearts that doing, not trying, is what got them there.
