Saying you’lltryto do something is much different from saying youwilldo it.
It’s important to remember this when making goals.
It’s easy to say, “I’mtryingto save more money,” for example.
A more active statement allows you more control to reach your goal.
Jackie Beck of The Debt Myth points out that some statements come with built-in excuses.
Beck writes:
They’re actually you making excuses before you even start.
They’re you refusing to commit even to yourself to reaching a concrete goal.
I only spend money that I already have, no matter what.
Those simple changes make the goal much more active.
Instead of a built-in excuse, there’s a built-in plan of action.
