Let PINK Inspire You With "Try"

"Try" as sung by Alecia Beth Moore, who is better known by the stage name Pink, is stirring and powerful. It was written and composed by Ben West and Busbee.

An extract from the lyrics of "Try" is as follows:-

"Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try"

This song may well inspire you to keep trying even when you have been hurt in a relationship or venture; to keep on trying even when you don't succeed at the first or even after several attempts. The hurts may remain (for a while more), but your resolve must not diminish. 

Keep listening to "Try". Better still, sing it like you mean it until you really get it. And, your subconscious mind is thus set in motion to work for you and not against you so much so that you no longer see yourself as a failure like a bird with a broken wing.

The images from the dance choreography would help you to identify with your struggles and prompt you to steel yourself to keep on keeping on. 

According to www.songfacts.com, "The Floria Sigismondi-directed video features shots of a paint-covered Pink and her male counterpart expressing their frustrations through dramatic dance moves, choreographed by the Golden Boyz. (who have worked with the likes of Madonna and Britney Spears) and stunt choreographer, Sebastien Stella. It was inspired by the Apache dance, a highly stylized Parisian street performance."

You may have to pivot and look at things from fresh perspectives, or make some adjustments to your approaches, say, by seeking first to understand more about that someone or your target audience/market before you are, in turn, understood and celebrated.

Yes, there are obstacles and maybe even risks to your endeavours, but there are also payoffs when you do eventually succeed, if you don't give up. 

As PINK would have you know, "You gotta get up and try, and try, and try."

Dream Bigger



1. Revisit your dream and keep pursuing it. 

Don't give up even though it may seem faint, distant and lacking in focus now.




2. Clarify your dream. 

Make your dream clearer so much so that you can see it with all the details. Make it as big as you can.

So, are you doing juicier and crunchier fried chicken? 


Does your juicier and crunchier chicken come as a meal?


Or, are you doing charbroiled burgers, after all? What is the unique selling proposition of your burgers?



3. Keeping nurturing your dream. 

As you keep sowing into your dream and set the conditions right, it will get bigger and clearer. 

This is a three-in-one tree. 


It started off as three separate frail-looking saplings like the ones shown below. 


Now it stands tall, strong and robust.


4. Your dream will make you smile and establish you when it comes to fruition.

So, keep FOCUS (Focus On Completion Until Successful). Have the wisdom to see now how your decisions will, if fast forwarded, affect your future happy outcome. Yo, you got something going on for you, man, I tell you.
