Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

I've heard this said to me three different times in three different ways. I think I get the hint now.

Im a processor. Let me think before I do because my impulses have led me to very baaaaaaadddddd mistakes: losing money, lying, suicide attempts, etc.

The problem is that I am forgetting that I can think before I do as long as I know what I am willing to do. I have to know my limits. I have to know my ambitions and goals. I have to know me. Im not going to always be right, be liked, be accepted. Eh....it is what it is. I will,however, be doing instead of waiting for the try.
