You’re Not Trying —You’re Either Doing It or You’re Not
Let’s get one thing straight:
You can’t try to pick up a pencil.
You either pick it up—or you don’t.
Same with money. Same with healing. Same with creating the life you want.
“Trying” is vague. Leaky. Powerless.
It says, “I’m not really in it. I’m halfway out the door.”
Yoda said it best (and I don’t even like Star Wars):
“Do or do not. There is no try.”
🧠 Why “Trying” F*cks With Your Subconscious
When you say, “I’m trying to make more money,” your brain hears:
“I’m struggling. I probably won’t.”
And your nervous system follows suit—hesitant, uncommitted, afraid to be seen.
Now say: “I’m making more money.”
Feel that shift? It’s grounded. Forward-moving. Inevitable.
Even if it’s not “true” yet—owning the energy of I am gets your mind, body, and actions in alignment. And alignment creates results.
🤝 Relationships Read Your Language
Saying “I’m trying” doesn’t just sabotage your mindset—it weakens how others perceive you.
Imagine you’re talking to someone you respect—potential mentor, investor, client.
You say: “I’m trying to grow my business.”
Cool. Honest. But now say:
“I’m growing my business.”
That lands. That invites trust, energy, momentum.
Words are your frequency. Choose ones that carry power.
🛠 Quick Tools to Drop the Try
- Catch it.
Notice every time you say or think “I’m trying to…”
- Swap it.
Replace it with either:
- “I am [doing the thing]”
- OR “I’m not committed to this right now” (and be honest)
- Commit or release.
Trying keeps you stuck in limbo. Doing gives you traction.

Pick one thing you’ve been “trying” to do.
Write this instead: “I am [action], because I’m committed to [result].”
Say it out loud. Post it on your mirror. Then go do it.
No more “try.”
You’re not a maybe.
You’re a f*cking yes.
