Do, or do not...

Do, or do not. There is no try.

- Yoda

The Star Wars Trilogies. My all time favorite movies. There is just something about them. Even when I watch them today, I feel like a 7 year old kid again. And of all 6 of the movies, none of them are like The Empire Strikes Back. I don't think anyone can forget, finding out that Darth Vader was Luke's father. Or when we found out that a little elfish figure, was the Jedi Master we were looking for.

Throughout his training, Luke struggles with many things. However when confronted with raising his ship from the swamp, Luke tells Yoda, that he tried, but it is to big. Yoda makes it a point of asking Luke if he judges him by his size. The entire scene has such a wonderful message.

First of all, don't be fooled by appearances. Great things have come from some of the strangest places. Whether big or small, short or tall, we all have the ability to accomplish great feats. Yoda finally tells Luke, don't try. the point is to do it or don't.

To many times we set ourselves up for failure, because we start out thinking we will try. If we will set out thinking we can do it, we have already won half the battle.
