Episode Details

Let me tell you something about trying. Trying is not a backup plan. Trying is not a consolation prize for people who did not have what it took to succeed. Trying is not evidence that you are not quite good enough for the real version. Trying is the thing. Trying is the actual activity that leads to the outcomes you want. And I need you to hear that because somewhere along the way you got the message that trying was not enough. That trying was what you did before you either made it or did not make it. That trying was the precursor to a verdict. The verdict on your worth. The verdict on your potential. And that message has been costing you. It has been keeping you from doing the thing because doing the thing would mean you were trying and trying might not be enough.
