Do you ever feel like giving up on something because it seems too hard? Maybe you are in school and you are having trouble learning something. Maybe there is a project at work that is intimidating you. Maybe there is a hobby you are curious about but think you can't do it. Many times we decide something is over for us when we haven't even given it our best effort yet.
When I was a kid an older cousin once said to me "Gail, all you ever have to do is TRY." It was such simple advice but it has echoed in my ears through my whole life in powerful ways. Now I pass this wisdom on to you...
The next time you feel like you just can't move forward with something, remember the phrase: "Try to progress - that's a big part of progress." The important word is the word TRY. You will be amazed at what you will accomplish when you give something a real effort and not a half hearted one we sometimes give when we have already decided it's too hard. Think about your life. Is there something you really need to TRY?
