~While I was spending time at the Jedi Temple, prior to my deep space travels, I was in one of the training halls attempting to Force Leap onto a ledge much higher than I'd ever accomplished. After crashing back down to the floor a number of times, I heard a soft chuckle behind and turned to find that Grandmaster Yoda had been watching.

"I'm trying to get to that high ledge," I pointed out like a ninny, as if he couldn't tell what I was doing.
"Do or do not--there is no try," he told me curtly.

So I dug deeper inside myself, focused my mind like a laser on getting to the ledge and shot upwards! Only to hit just below it and crash back onto the floor. I stood up, rubbing my elbow.

"Master, that doesn't seem to be the answer," I observed, perhaps muttering a little.
"Always succeed, you will not, Padawan. Your intention, it is, not the goal."

After a moment of 'huh?', a huge grin split my face and I was on the ledge...for that was my true intention, not 'trying to get there'.
