In reply to Herve. We do this as a joke often. "Try not to totally obsess over this problem and try not to have insomnia all night long because of all the worry"

Hey thanks for the video. I got a question: what happens if you stack “try” with a negative, as in “try not to fall asleep”?

Makes perfect sense! If the Nike slogan was “Just try it”…. someone over there knew how to help convince the sheeple to buy their products.

Thank you so much Mike

I’ve been sharing this with clients for some time now and I always enjoy the enlightenment that happens. Such a simple way to create such a huge shift!

I very much appreciate your perspective and story as it relates. Thank you!

I drop a pen on the floor and tell my clients to try and pick it up. They bend down and pick it up. I say, no, don’t Just do it, I told you to try! That usually makes the understand. Same goes for “intend”. That is why there is a “highway to hell” and only a “stairway to heaven”.

I loved this. Whenever someone pulls the “I will try” at work, I channel my inner Yoda and say, “Do or do not, there is no try.”

Already work with this idea of “Try meaning failing”.
On my work, “If” is another hypnotic word that poisons plans and hopes, contitioning our doings to others, not to our own effort.
