Stop Trying – Do It!
“No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.” - Yoda
I was talking to a group of athletes the other day and they used a “dirty” word. The athlete said they would, “try to work harder.” I stopped them right there. I asked them if being successful was important to them or if they just wanted to spend all their time and effort and get nothing out of it. Of course, they said, they “wanted” to be successful. Strike Two.
I looked at the coach and he shrugged and said, “That’s why you’re here.”
Thank goodness he reached out.
