Half Measures Avail Us Nothing
Do, or do not. There is no try. -Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back
I will do something with enthusiasm
I
understand today that half measures get me nowhere. I frustrate myself
and those around me when I refuse to make a commitment to myself, and I
don't put my full intent behind my desire to make a change that needs
making, nor do I pull my full weight. When I just sort of do something, I
ask for a just sort of result. And I don't even experience the good
feeling of giving something my best shot. I set myself up for a kind of
disappointment and failure when I make half efforts, when I drag my own
feet and get in my own way. I disappoint myself and I disappoint others.
I confuse myself as to whether or not I dare to try; I use not trying
to protect myself from fear of failing. And I keep myself stuck. A small
change taken on sincerely is worth more than a large change done
half-heartedly.
