The Essence of Try

Michelangelo said ' I am still learning'.
All through his life he was learning.

Repetition can improve performance or actually develop memory and process. Repetition can also be Used to find another way of doing things, trying new methods, routes or routines. Think of all the inventors in the world...their job is to try. Over and over again...until they get the result they want. And sometimes this entails mistakes, lessons and even frustration. But what would have happened if Thomas Edison did not try over and over again to create the lightbulb? Would we still be in the dark? Or would someone else have stepped up to do so?
Try is what we all do. Try to find our way on our journey through life...try to live a good life...try to be healthy...try to raise out kids while still raising ourselves...try to care for others...try to lift up our communities. We try.

And along the try...we learn. We learn from mistakes. We learn the lessons of try..perhaps finding new answers or results, shortcuts or different perspectives. Try comes from the heart. Our heart makes us look for more, to repeat our efforts and succeed, learning from the past to create a new future. We are always trying.

We seem to fall then into pattern of Michelangelo, who said 'I am always learning'. By being open to try, we always learn.

Keep your head and heart steady and try.
