Do or Do not, there is NO try ~Master Yoda
This is the simplest decision of your life.
You don't realize it, but it is.
Maybe the hardest to enact, its doubtful but I might concede that point.
The decision itself though cant get much simpler.
It doesn't require a lot of thought, worry or even debate. It does require work, but what in this life worth having doesn't?
No, this decision isn't about work. Its a whole lot easier than that. All you have to do is look into peer in the windows to the soul, observe how they interact together listen to your mind; allow your mental to paint a picture and show you glimpses of the future.
It's really that easy.
Its not about methodology. Malcolm X said it best: "Policies change, programs change, according to time. But objectives never change. You might change your method of achieving the objective, but the objective never changes ". We know what our objective is. The how isn't important as much as the why. Debating on the how only muddies the water. Perhaps we should just do.
It's really that easy.
Our styles of governance isn't an issue either. Every dynamic needs a solider and a gypsy. Every dynamic needs rules and a free spirit. Mr. President and the First lady have rules obviously, yet they both are free. Our personalities need not be in conflict, they can be in concert.
It's really that easy.
This is not some illusion. We didn't get here emotionally overnight, nor was it rushed. We both know it was marinated, cultivated and thought about. We both prayed for this moment a hundred times over. Now that we have the dream, let us live in it. No longer should we be afraid of it.
It's really that easy.
Its funny how I remember that line from The Empire Strikes Back. I remember as a little boy understanding that if we want something we either do or do not, we don't try. I didn't try to go to school, I just did. I didn't try to get up in the morning, I just did. Now as an adult if we translate this to love, relationships, even politics the same still holds true. We don't try to love our family, we just do. We don't try to get drunk, we just do, we don't try to make love we just do.
This is no different. We really aren't. Better isn't exactly different. The only difference is in your mind.
It's really that easy.
Do. Or Do Not. There is NO try
