  • Try.

    Week 17… “Do, or do not — there is no try.” Listen, I know Yoda is spouting some Lucas-level zen philosophy about how inaction is action, and there are no half-measures when it comes to making choices, but there is power in that word: “try.” It is the middle ground of the binary; it is…
