Do Or Not Do, There is No Try

Did you know the phrase, “Do or do not. There is no try,” comes from Yoda in Star Wars? This single line is famous for a reason: it’s the foundation for meaningful action and change.

In this fast-paced, high-pressured world, life is ALWAYS happening around us. So many things are beyond our control—all the people and institutions and natural events of the world. But here’s what we can control: our own words and action. We can listen to our heart, acknowledge our desires and disappointments, and then surrender to this wondrous, empowering constant of the universe: What you do is all up to you.

Success isn’t just what happens TO you or AROUND you. It’s what you do about it YOURSELF. It’s the choices you make day after day, situation after situation.

Let’s look at some seemingly minor examples:

1. Let’s say you’ve recently committed to running outside three times a week, but your town has been hit with thunderstorms every day. What do you do? Stay home and channel surf? Or go to the gym and use a treadmill?
2. When you have a corrective exercise program to get yourself out of pain and mobile, do you make excuses and believe the thoughts and feelings in your head? Or do you accept and trust your situation and carve out 15 minutes to show your body that you love it?

Seriously – these are the kinds of little situations everyone faces every day. And it’s through making the right choices—not just “trying,” but doing—that you succeed. It’s called rolling with the flow. It’s not called blaming something else for your own decisions.

So—decide right now: When it comes to taking care of yourself, are you in or are you out? If you’re an active person who is in pain, stiff, and hasn’t been able to be as active as you want, but you’re motivated to find a way to get there, then I would love to help.
