BOLD LAW for Wednesday ! ...." There is no try...." and thoughts from " The Wealthy Gardener"

" There is no try , there is only do  "

I'm reading a great book that was recommended to me by a friend in my Mastermind group entitled " The Wealthy Gardener ".

Here is what I read this morning from " Lesson 4 - 17...Ambition is wasted on the irresolute , since achievement demands endurance long after inspiration has fled. Fortitude is the character to finish what we start without self pity. "

And...."Fortitude is the strength to weather storms and work through adversity when ambition, courage and will power have waned. It's the resolve to soldier on, stay the course and plod forward into obstacles long after inspiration has fled. Fortitude is the ability to indefinitely endure struggles, workloads, sacrifices, and rejections of our dreams ".

There is nothing there that says to  " just give it the ol' college try " or that it is okay to just give up , or coast , or quit when life gets a little tough. There is not much learned when you " try " . Compare that to the tremendous knowledge gained when you " DO " as the sentences above describe.

We learn by DO-ing , failing, starting again , losing and winning and persevering...not trying.

Hope this helps you get your second week of your New Year off to a great start !

There is no try....
