January 17 - How is "trying" working out for you?

Jan 17 - How is "trying" working out for you? Have you been saying or heard someone else say, “I am trying.” Or “I am trying my best.” related to an inquiry of how a specific aspect of life or work is going? While this is a common response to give, what may it be revealing? One is either trying or actually doing related to whatever they have on their plate to accomplish or move forward. When you find yourself or hear someone else say the word “try,” does it really answer the question? No, it deflects having to answer the question in most cases, with hopes that no further explanation is necessary.

Trying is riddled with excuses. Doing is demonstrated in actions. Trying is motivated by guilt. Doing is motivated by goals and a belief in oneself. To try is to give in. Give in to distractions. Give in to temptations. Give in to others’ priorities. Give in to circumstances or challenges. To do is to give all – give all to finding options, alternatives, next steps and next best actions to take. To only TRY is “To Reveal Yourself” in ways that may need to be explored further.
