Don’t Try so Hard
When you just do the results can be amazing.
For a lot of people I know, myself included, sometimes you give 100% or more to thoughts and feelings you have. These are ideas and notions you work to expand or build.
There may be times when you don’t see results. So you make a few changes, shift your approach, and try again. Then, if things are still not going as you would hope, you continue to try with more alterations.
Attempts to do things can be really good, because in order to make changes you need to take actions. However, when you try so hard that you become frustrated, you can’t help yourself.
I have done this a few times. There was something I desired to do, or to achieve, and I gave it my all. When it didn’t work out I gave it my all and then some. I would try so hard to get it to work or to go, that when it didn’t I became frustrated and agitated.
Often I have gotten better results by doing without trying so hard. This has applied to things both big and small in my life.
When you constantly push and put too much effort into trying to make something happen, one way to change that energy is to just do, and let it happen as it may.
