I have known so many people who think they have made a decision when they say they are going to try to do something.
.
Maybe they are going to try to lose some weight or try to start exercising.
.
What’s wrong with this approach? The very word “try” implies a halfhearted effort at best and a complete lack of commitment. The word “try”, leaves the door wide open for failure, in fact it invites failure.
.
Which of these two statements sounds more convincing to you?
.
1) I am going to try to lose some weight. Or,
.
2) First thing tomorrow, I am starting my diet and exercise program. I am totally committed to losing 20 pounds over the next six weeks, no matter what.
.
In the first example there will be little, if any positive results because there is no plan or strategy and no commitment. It is just wishful thinking, well intentioned, but wishful thinking nonetheless.
