Be Willing To Try

If you want to be successful at anything, you have to be willing to TRY, and if you are willing to TRY something, you have to understand that there is a possibility that you will fail.

Basketball coach, Kevin Eastman, wrote, “TRYING, taking in new challenges, facing the unknown, come down to these questions:

- Is my TRY greater than my fear?
- Is my TRY greater than my doubt?
- Is my TRY greater than any embarrassment that U may suffer because I did not accomplish what I set out to do?

Accomplishing anything, overcoming any challenge, requires a start, and starting something requires a willingness to try. So, TRY always precedes start.

Coach Eastman defines TRY as a decision followed by an effort to accomplish something.

Today, next week, forever - TRY. TRY something new. TRY to show up early. TRY to stay late. TRY talking to your coach about how you can get better. TRY, TRY, and TRY again.

If you want to be successful at anything, the first step you have to take is to TRY!
