Inertia
Some years ago this thought came from out of the blue: “Inertia is a catalyst of failure.”
My experience is that failure is most often tied to failure to try.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I have been prejudiced to the word “try” by my late teacher Dr. Dave Dobson who claimed that “try” was an excuse word we learned in toilet training.
Dave suggested the phrase “make an effort” indicated action that the word “try” lacked. When you say, “I made an effort,” it allows questions about what specific efforts were made. There’s more information available with “make an effort” than there is with “try.”
Inertia keeps us from making efforts or trying. It is an insurance policy to fail. Making an effort paves the road to success. It doesn’t guarantee a smooth road, but a road nevertheless. If you sit at the fork, you’re guaranteed to get “forked.”
I watched a PBS special on songwriter/singer Carole King where this incredibly accomplished woman had this to say:
“If you want to do something, go for it, try. Don’t tell yourself you can’t make it. Don’t let your parents tell you you can’t make it. Let the world tell you you can’t make it, after having tried. Or maybe let the world discover you, but don’t fail to try. Because if you don’t try, you can’t succeed.”
I think the purpose of this recording is to get us all to start giving attention to our inertia so we can metabolize it and discover that making an effort leads to results and it keeps us from making trying excuses.
All the best,
John
