Why I'm Going Against Yoda (and Mom, Dad, and Mrs. Merriwether)

 

 

 

Occasionally I challenge the wisdom of the Jedis by claiming that Yoda's famous quotation from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back-"Do or do not. There is no try"-is just not a productive attitude for most of us. Yoda's words tell us that we should be able to step off cliffs and not plummet to our doom. Or drive a Rally Ford Fiesta in a World Rally Championship event and win. But if you buy into this thinking, you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of frustration and feeling like a failure.

Does this mean there is no free will? No, but making a real choice requires understanding some complicated concepts. (Read more).....

  • Reduce Struggle.
  • Dissipate Conflict.
  • Improve Relationships.
  • Relieve Stress.
  • Develop Trust, Understanding and Camaraderie in your team.
