How To Know If You’ll Achieve Your Goal Yoda said “there is no try, there is only do” — this means there is no such thing as “I’ll try”. Either it will be done or it won’t. It’s like when asking someone “would you like to go for a run this Tuesday” and they say “umm, yeah — I’ll try and make it” — it’s clear to everyone they’re not coming. We must apply this same logic to our climb — are we going to make it to the top, or are we going to try?

There’s no second place trophy — we either made it to the top of the climb, or we didn’t.
