Why Try?!

Why Try?



Why try? That sounds awfully negative. I wonder what Nappy Hill, and Vincent Orange Peel would think of that? It doesn't sound like positive thinking, but it is. Content depends on the context. Let me rephrase that if I have enough time. One last try. . . "Why try . . . when you could succeed." Yes! The buzzer rings. The ball goes through the hoop from outside the line. Three points! At the last instant, success!

Context and content are different. Context is relationship to place. Content is what's inside the place.

I have a woman friend who is listening to a tape series called subliminal winning. I told her be careful with that series. You don't know what they're saying. All you can hear is music or ocean waves. Maybe the actual name of the series is subliminal wiener and later you'll go the doctor and get an add-a-dick-to-me. The context of the subliminal is listening to pleasant music. The content is repeated affirmations. I thought the joke was funny, but she didn't laugh. I guess she took it out of context.



Success is defined only by you

Why not try?

You can figure this out right now. Here's an exercise: Put this book (blog) or your coffee cup or bottle of water down for a second. Now, try to pick it up. Reach over and try to pick it up.

Good.

Now, did you pick it up? If you picked it up, you didn't try to pick it up. You actually picked it up.

Trying is reaching out to do something, stopping, reaching out, and stopping.

Success is doing.

You can be successful in any place at anything. The context and content of success is only defined by you. You're the master of your destiny, are you not?

Let me ask you. Did you do the exercise above? Did you try it?
