A Trying Love Affair We’ve all heard, “Give it your best effort!” and “try harder”. And at some point in your life, I’m sure you can think of a time when the encouragement actually worked. The encouragement worked because you were doing. You were no longer trying. You believed you could complete the task at hand, so you did. That is exactly where ‘trying’ to complete the task no longer exists. Trying implies a lack of dedication or definition. I’m sure we’ve all also heard, “I’ll try to make it,” or “I’ll try to call you back,” only to be met with disappointment when the time comes. Trying carries what I like to call ‘slippery’ energy. It offers the “try-er” freedom of a loose commitment, which often shows up as a lifestyle pattern simply by using the word. Now, take a moment to notice the difference: “I’ll try to be there by eight,” versus “I will be there at eight.” Telling someone you will try to meet him or her at a certain time can imply that his or her time is not as important as yours. Simply put, this shows you are willing to make them wait for you and your tardiness, which can be interpreted as blatant disrespect. Committing to meet someone at a certain time creates a balance of respect, not only for them and their time, but also for you and the way you respect your own time. The sage wisdom of Master Yoda recites, “Do or do not, there is no try.” From these simple words, we can unlock the difference between patterns of failure and patterns of success.
When you tell yourself you are going to try, let’s say, to get out of bed at 6:30am to get a head start on your day. What happens when the alarm goes off? … SNOOZE! Followed by excuses and trivial reasons as to why it’s better to create a fresh pattern – tomorrow. When you say you are going to, before you go to bed, you are committing yourself to taking better care of yourself by creating fresh healthy habits. Committing with a “do” instead of a “try” changes the way your body and mind respond and connect energetically to the new intention. Making you more likely to stick to your guns, for yourself and for others. These are a few simple examples that allow room for discussion, contemplation, and reflection. In what areas of your life do you see yourself being slippery in your commitments? Is there a common denominator, or pattern, you see in your unwillingness to unwaveringly say, yes or no? Do you find it’s easier to say you’ll try when it comes to committing to yourself? Our societal love affair with trying can easily lead to being content with complacency in life. By simply flipping the switch from ‘try’ to ‘do’ in your vocabulary, you will create an energetic shift that will bring forward momentum to your life. I highly suggest you DO it!
