Is there a statement that really irritates you?

Would you like to know the one that bothers me?

The statement is; “I’m going to try to…” The word ‘try’ means to make an effort to do something. My challenge is what type of an effort will it be? Years ago I heard a young man who was released from jail state; “I’m going to try to be better.” This is when I got really annoyed. I thought that the word ‘try’ was such a weasel word. I say that because it is used for creating an impression that something meaningful has been said. When you think about this young man’s statement; “I’m going to try to be better.” It is only a vague claim and nothing more.

What can you do starting today that will eliminate the vague words you use in your life?

When will you start using words that impact you to do more than you’ve done before?
