There have been times in my life and in business when something would happen to the success and flow of things working, that I could not understand the reasoning behind the results.
In a past life it was easy to just blame someone or something when this occurred. Never would I look at myself as the problem.
After changing literally everything in order to live on this planet (as explained here) I searched for new meaning in every aspect of my life and work.
About 16 years ago after some time swimming in trial and error, I ended up changing one basic small, dumb ( to me at the time) thing, that changed everything, and set me off to enjoy a better life each day.
I took the word " try " out of my vocabulary. I either "do it or I don't" and then live with the consequences of my action or inaction.
When we say " I'm trying to do something", we just gave ourselves a really neat escape route to not do anything.
In our busy lives and in our business today, time is a precious commodity, and must be utilized to the best of our ability. "Trying" to do something is a cop out of the first magnitude. It holds us back.
Some of you might give this a "try".....What have you got to lose?
