“Your past is an illusion. It is the trail you left behind you, and a trail behind you cannot drive you today, regardless of what you choose to believe. All you have is now, and you have never tried anything. You have simply not done it yet!” Wayne W. Dyer

How great is that!?! Have you ever tried anything and failed? And, didn’t try again because you thought you would fail? This is your illusionary past getting in the way of your future. In my opinion I think it would be best to take “try” out of our vocabulary. It is not empowering and we either do or we don’t.

When someone says, “I will try to do that” or “try to get that done.” They don’t expect to get it done. But they want to at least say that they really tried to do it but what they really are saying is, “I put effort into it, so please don’t criticize me, I tried..”

But why would we want to just put the effort in and not reap the benefits of actually getting it done. Either do it or don’t! I think that the main reason we only “try” to do things is we are actually scared to put ourselves out there and do it fully. And, we have so many stories of being too tired, busy, overwhelmed to really go for it with all of heart!! It is lack of belief and trust that we can actually do it! If we believed we could do it we would and there would be no time for “trying” or making up stories about how we are as so busy, blah blah blah…

The great thing is there are many things we all have “tried” to do, and failed, or it didn’t turn out like we thought it would, and are fearful that it will be the same in the future if we were to try it again!! Remember… you have never tried anything. You have simply not done it yet. How liberating!!!! No need for negative stories, thought, explanations, just KNOW that you can do it and go out and do it!! It is the constant reminders that we are not our past, that anything is possible, and that we can accomplish whatever we set our minds to. This is the path to greatness and getting things done!

So, what are you going to stop “trying to do” and DO!?! :)
