Try Or Do? Which Are You?

by Kris Pitcher

I have a theory about attitude. There are tryer's and there are doer's. The tryer's know they'll never actually have to do anything. The doer's just do. (Like Nike says.)

It's really about attitude and perspective. It's about thinking you can. You've been on your can drive. So you know you can. When people say they'll try to make it...you know they aren't going to show up.

One of the questions might be do they intend to show up, or do they just not want to say no? I'll tell you what...it doesn't matter.

You either do, or you don't do. And you don't really owe any explanations if you don't want to do something. Just don't do it.

This might seem rambly. But I'm thinking stop trying and start doing. It's an attitude of follow through, of doing the things you say you'll do. This is important for your health and fitness pursuits...for your success.

It's about getting clear on what you want and then doing it. The clarity leads you to the doing. It's the ambiguity that leaves you in the state of trying. I'll try to make it to the gym. Try?

You're either going, or you're not going. Period. It's either part of your schedule because it's important (clarity of goals) or it isn't. Don't try. Do.

Empower your attitude with do. Get clear on why you either will or will not do things in your life. You don't owe any explanations if you don't want to do - or do for that matter - something. The question comes down to: try or do? Which are you?
