Commitment: Doing or Trying?
Filed Under The Winner Within |
There is a very distinct difference in life between setting our mental forces to work on a task or goal from the perspective of doing or trying. Doing is the absolute commitment to succeed. Trying is the beginning of failure.
This understanding of trying versus doing demonstrates the mental challenge to overcome the conditioning of the past, as opposed to the physical challenge of growth. The thief of our mind lies in wait to steal away dreams and progress. Trying creates a benchmark that says, “I will give you this much time to get there and if you don’t, here are some of the reasons why it did not happen.”
It is critical to understand that this “voice” of challenge is not a human flaw that we have personally. It is a flaw of imprinting through life experience. The key is to not allow that door to be opened or for the so-called “logic” of possibilities to creep into the process of commitment.
Knowing this, set your goals with the commitment of doing.
I will achieve my health goal.
I will succeed in my relationship with my children.
I will succeed in my quest for financial success.
I will succeed and travel to that place in the world.
Remove “try” from your mental vocabulary. That simple shift from “try” to “do” builds a wall to block out the thief looking to steal your dreams.
