I believe that using the word “try” is often a form of self-deception.   Do you ever say, “I will try to contact,” instead of simply, “I will contact”?  If so, aren’t you using a little three-letter word as an excuse to fall back on if the contact isn’t successful?  Aren’t you deceiving yourself, and giving yourself permission to fail, by saying, “Well, I tried, but…”?  Saying “I can” and “I will,” conveys a much stronger commitment to achieving our goals than saying, “I will try.”  We must always be 100 percent dedicated and committed to what we can and will do. We are at best only halfway committed if we choose only to try.
