Yoda wears Nikes.

"Do or Do Not.  There is no Try."  Master Yoda.

The above statement is more about a mind set.  You don't "Try" to do something.  You do it.

Look at any successful person.  No matter their area of success.  You will see people who sought out to do something.  Either they did, or they did not.

"Try" is something people with the luxury to do so, do.  If you've got a paper due by 10am on Friday, you don't "try" to turn it in.  Your name's been called, you've got 2 white lights and 900lbs on the platform, you don't "try" to pull it.

Trying leads to failure, failure from trying leads to never doing.  Children have no cohesive thoughts of trying to do something.  I do not believe they even get frustrated when attempting to walk.  We as parents, grand parents and other relatives may think they are frustrated with something they are attempting but very small children can't be frustrated.  They don't know what the end goal is.

When a child falls on their butt they usually get startled then go back to working on "doing" what ever it was previous to their fall.  How many times have you seen a child fall and be fine only to cry once you say something?  It's a learned behaviour.

When a baby is trying to walk they keep getting back up over and over and over again.  Not out of willpower but because they HAVE to walk.

We could do well to steal from this mindset.

I'm not selling the secret or pretending to have it, I can say that this mindset is very important to me.  When we try to do things we fail in a cycle that just breaks us down.  If you want to do something, do it.

When you decide to do something, do yourself a big favor, pour yourself into it and do it.
