THE POWER OF COMMITMENT

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray. \u2013 Rumi \u00a0

I\u2019ve been thinking about the difference between trying and doing and how it applies to our creative lives. \u00a0 Consider how it feels to say \u201cI\u2019m going to try to write a book versus I am going to write book.”

The word try brings with it a lot of resistance and a sense of effort, whereas I am going to do it carries the sense \u201cI can do this.\u201d \u00a0

Perhaps the most well-known line in the Star Wars movies is when Yoda says to Luke Skywalker \u201cdo or do not, there is no try.\u201d \u00a0 Yoda is encouraging Luke to commit fully because he know that\u00a0if Luke is uncertain that he can achieve the goal, he will not be able to.

Note from Marlene:<\/strong> Pause for a minute. Think about that. \u00a0
If you are uncertain you can achieve a goal, you will not be able to. \u00a0

Back to Suzanne:\u00a0 There is always a learning curve to anything new we do or to increasing our skill level at something. With commitment we bring our heart to the task which helps fuel our capacity to show up and find pleasure in the doing.
