I have enjoyed reading Scroll 3 up to a point.

So what do I mean by this? I am encouraged to ‘remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless and retreat’.

Are there any words you were looking for or are there any words you would add to that list?

For me the word I was looking for is ‘TRY’, what does it mean?

On the next page reference is made to ‘I will try, and try and try again’.

But again I ask myself, am I attempting to make the effort, because if I use the word ‘try’ I give myself a free pass because I will be confronted with obstacles; that’s called life.

With love in my heart I can promise I will for example read OG Mandino 3 times a day and on the occasions I do not. I can shrug and say to myself I tried but…….

I think to myself I never ‘try’ to drink a glass of water, I either do or do not. I do not tell myself I will ‘try’ to read Haanel and do the sit – I either do or do not.

Mark Januszewski refers to players get paid and spectators pay to watch. Trying is a spectator sport which has little or no effort (other than cheering once in a while), or it indicates ambiguity with no clear commitment for example in the past I have said, I tried to make it to yours but (here comes the excuse because I was never committed)..….

‘Trying’ for me does not motivate me to persist and win; which is what the Scroll is about.

The phrase ‘Do it Now’ is the complete opposite. There is no confusion or ambiguity, it is direct and assertive. I found this quote and it sums it up for me – “Do, or do not. There is no try.”
