There’s an instructive scene in the Star Wars movie, The Empire Strikes Back. Yoda is instructing Luke Skywalker in how to use the Force. He asks Luke to retrieve his disabled spaceship out of a bog where it has sunk, using only his mind. Luke, of course, thinks this is impossible. Sure, he has been able to move stones around this way. But a spaceship? That’s completely different. Or is it.
Yoda patiently explains that it is only different in his mind. Luke reluctantly agrees to “give it a try.”
Yoda famously says, “No. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.“
