Doing vs. Trying . . .

I'm of  the opinion that if you want to accomplish something in life, it won't happen if you say, "I'm going to try to do that." When you say the word 'try', you leave yourself an out for it never being started. You justify yourself by saying you wanted to TRY but circumstances never worked out for it. However, if you say, "I'm going to DO that!", chances are you will make the leap into a new project or situation.

Trying and doing shows up in about six weeks. If you think about trying something, six weeks down the road you will look back and realize how much time you've lost and how far along you could be if you had just done it.

I figured this out a few Lents ago. Lent lasst six weeks and is an excellent time for making a change for the good in your life. It doesn't always have to be a 'give up' sacrifice. Sometimes, a personal change can be just as sacrificial and you will welcome Easter with a new attitude. This was when I realized the potential of six weeks! And, if you can make it through six weeks, your change of habit will probably continue on and you will know that doing is far superior to trying!
