The Way of Grogu: How to Boldly Pursue Your Dreams
Have you ever felt held back by doubt, fear, or the expectations of others? We all have at some point. But there is another way. Let me tell you the story of a little green friend who shows us how.
His name is Grogu, but you likely know him as Baby Yoda.
With his big innocent eyes and cute fuzzy ears, Grogu doesn’t seem like the rebellious type. But this little guy marches to the beat of his own tiny drum.
When we first meet Grogu in The Mandalorian, he is being kept hidden away, suppressed and untrained. The expectations of others have kept him small, when he has so much potential. But then a chance encounter brings Mando into his life. And Grogu seizes the opportunity to break free and follow his own path.
Like a toddler drawn to unlocked gates and cookies left on the counter, Grogu heads straight for adventure with wide-eyed curiosity. He doesn’t wait for permission. He pursues every opportunity to learn and grow through direct experience. Sure, sometimes this gets him into trouble. But Grogu is undeterred. He picks himself up and keeps exploring.
Grogu shows us the power of courageously seizing chances to become our best selves. He doesn’t let doubt, fear or societal expectations hold him back. Grogu boldly leaps before looking, knowing that real growth comes from action, not hesitation. As Master Yoda once said,
“Do or do not. There is no try.”
So the next time you feel stuck in your comfort zone, or held back by the judgment of others, channel your inner Grogu.
Tune out the voices of doubt and fear. Boldly pursue your dreams, one waddling step at a time.
The universe rewards action. Be like Grogu and reach for the cookie jar of life, even if you have to climb up on the counter to get it.
Your dreams are waiting.
