There are two ways to look at the word 'try.'

Most of us use it when something's not really a priority. We'll 'try' to get to the gym today… But if we don't make it, no big deal.

But what if you ONLY used the word 'try' in the context of trying again and again—until you reach your goal?

On this episode of Destined to Be, we explore how we use the word 'try' as an excuse to show up less-than what we're really capable of.

We explain why you shouldn't give up on a goal when one tactic doesn't work and encourage you to think through the consequences of breaking a commitment before you let yourself off the hook.

Listen in for insight on measuring your progress toward a goal and take on our challenge to remove the word 'try' from your vocabulary for a day and see what shifts.
