When you sit down to eat dinner and you happen to really like everything that’s on your plate, you don’t try to eat it – you just do, right? What happens when you’re served a dish that looks unappetizing to you, and there is nothing else available to eat, what do you do?
Do you try to eat some of it?
Do you succumb to your hunger and eat all of it knowing that you will otherwise go hungry?
Do you go without?
Have you ever forced yourself to eat something you thought you wouldn’t like and found it tasty?
When you say that you will try to do something, what does that mean?
How committed are you?
How much do you believe in what you’re doing when you say, “I’ll try?”
Where has ‘trying’ gotten you in the past?
What do you think would happen if you decided to throw caution to the wind and instead of trying to do something you just did it? What is the worst that you could discover? How could your new insight, whatever it is, propel you forward?
Take a moment and ask yourself, “Is what I’m doing right now working for me or is it working against me?” Am I willing to commit and take action instead of trying to take action, to see what happens? Who will help me and support me with my commitment?”
Your time is precious and life goes by so quickly. How much of it do you really want to spend uttering, “I’ll try?”
