When i first saw Star Wars i didnt really think that much about Yodas Words but as I grew up I have noticed a wise and highly motivating deeper Meaning in his words than I have expected.
If we look at the Scene in Star Wars , Yoda told Luke to lift his Spaceship out of the swamp by using the Force, Luke answered: Master , moving stones around is one thing ! That is totally Different!
Yoda answered irritated: No! No different! Only in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.
Luke: Ok ill give it a try.
Yoda: Do or do not there is no try
Yoda is encouraging Luke to commit fully. He is trying to teach Luke that he must be certain by doing something and be free of doubt.
Yoda means by this sentence: Either you get a result or you dont get a result. The result matters infinitely more than your effort. Actually your efforts dont matter at all. Only results do
If you ban the word "try" completely out of your daily you will notice a big difference in your mindset and attitude just because you just do what you need to do in order to get your results. You dont think about failing or attempting and then failing.
Personally i stopped using this word after i have failed badly when i talked to pretty girls . Some Day I realized that I just gotta do it instead of thinking about how I can approach her and what I should say.
Today I have no straight plan when I talk to pretty Girls or people. I just approach to them and say: "Hello. How are you"
I this is not the perfect Example but it shows what we can do if we dont Limit ourselfs and just do what we think.
Its the same if you say: "Im going to try to go on a diet" instead of saying: "I will definitely go on a diet.
You will be more likely to reach your Goal if you use the second Phrase because you are not thinking about failing, there is no other option.
Thanks for Reading ! I hope some of you will think about Yodas Words and use it in their daily routine.
