No more "TRY"

Ask yourself, how many times do you say this word "try" in a day?

I guess many times in a day, whenever you are in a conversation. It is definitely one of the most used words in English.

"I'll try doing that later."

"I'll try to complete the assignment by this week."

"I'll try to get it done for you as fast as I can."

Aren't these very familiar to anyone of us? We hear them ALL THE TIME!!!

Gurus, psychologists, and spiritual masters have all come to an agreement that "try" word is rather negative. It is associated to "procrastination" and even "half-heartedness".

Whenever I see sports people being interviewed, they always like to use "try", like "I'll try my best to help the team win", and next you know, the team loses, and he's likely to say, "I've tried my best but the better team won."

Face it, this is human's common ailment. We are all trying, that's why we don't find much successes in life! Trying is like wading in the shallow water without getting yourself all drenched.

If you are going to say, "I'll try to stop using ‘try’.” You will end up trying many times and there will be no stop at all. Just say, “I’ll stop using that word.” Period. That is one less word to say!

And if there is a need to, replace try word with "do", "will"....these are confirmative words, and subconsciously, you will likely to find the right energy to do the things you want.
