Inspired by the above, 📝Spirit Check now suggests you 📝Stop working on it, but keep doing it.

Reflections

"You can also experiment by abolishing 'I will try…' from your lexicon, especially the lexicon of your internal dialog, and replace it simply with 'I will…' If you are true to your word, you will think very carefully before agreeing to anything. 'I will try' can be a cop-out, a polite way of saying you won’t actually do it. It also encodes an assumption of helplessness, a world of external forces that thwart our creativity." ~ 📝Charles Eisenstein, 📝The Ascent of Humanity

"I’ve become more self aware of using the word 'try' in my everyday conversations. It’s amazing how your mental model of the world changes when you replace 'trying' with 'doing' and 'tomorrow' with 'now'. All we can control is the now. No need to waste effort on what isn’t the present. Optimize for the now by doing rather than trying " ~📝Juan Carlos Perez
