watch your mouth

Words are power.

They matter more than you think.

I’ve kinda become a big word nerd.

I enjoy studying the meaning behind words.

And I also enjoy learning new words.

But above all else, I like to be hyper intentional with the words I speak.

And today I wanna talk about one word that really grinds my gears.

What is this magical word?

It’s the word “try”.

I despise it.

Why don’t I like it?

Because it implies that you don’t care!!!

When I hear someone say “I’m gonna try”, what I’m really hearing is “I’m just gonna dip my toes in the water.”

Nah!!!

Don’t just dip your toes in the water, plunge straight into the water.

Don’t drive with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake.

Go full throttle with no brakes.

Because if anything is worth doing, then it’s worth doing with all your might.

And if it’s not worth doing, maybe next time you don’t do it at all.

If you’re “trying”, that’s just an excuse to sort of do “the thing”.

So, whatever “the thing” is, don’t “try.”

Just do.

Give it all your focus and attention.

That’s what’ll separate you from everyone else that’s “trying”.

Ok, I’m done with my rant haha.

Alex “don’t try, just do” Garcia out.
