As we move into this new year, I’ve been thinking about that Yoda quote: “Do or do not. There is no try.” For sure it’s my 2025 GIF!
In my own life I’m no longer allowed to use the word “try” - it’s either a yes, no, or later.
“Try” usually means…
- Polite response when I really want to say no
- Codependency pattern where I don’t want to let someone down
- Not truly valuing the thing I say I’ll try
- Inability to see or communicate my priorities
- Indefinite putting something off w/ a slight positive feeling because I said "I’ll try”
It’s time to back the words we say or the intentions we set with actions this year! 😎
Here are inspiring quotes from Yoda…
1️⃣ “Do or do not. There is no try.” Commit fully to your goals—hesitation won’t lead to success.
2️⃣ “Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” Release fear to unlock your true potential.
3️⃣ “You must unlearn what you have learned.” Embrace new ways of thinking and let go of old paradigms.
4️⃣ “Pass on what you have learned.” Your knowledge is a gift—share it to inspire others.
5️⃣ “Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view.” Shift perspectives to see opportunities for growth.
6️⃣ “In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.” Even small steps forward create light and momentum.
7️⃣ “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?” Your impact isn’t measured by scale—small actions ripple outward.
8️⃣ “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” Choose love and courage to stay aligned with abundance.
