Certainty of doing
+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying is not doing. Only doing is doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying is a vague, loosely defined concept that doesn’t lead anywhere in particular. Doing is a precise set of actions leading toward a specific objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re trying and not having any luck, there are two problems. You see yourself as merely trying, and you consider yourself under the influence of blind, random luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give up your dependence on luck and depend instead on your own actions. Give up the idea that you’re trying, and replace it with the certainty of getting specific work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying gives you an excuse to fail, to quit. Give yourself instead the commitment to succeed, to prevail, to get the work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climb out of the hazy, ineffective bewilderment of trying. Jump right into the clear, focused, exhilarating experience of doing all the great things you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
