The Rushing Waters
The ancient Taoists taught to be like water. It becomes what ever you put it in. It always seeks the lowest levels. Much like the river, one should push on with much Force and overcome the challenges.
If you feel apprehensive over something you must do in the future. Do not allow yourself to become timid. Imagine a tremendous rush of water coming behind you. Hear the rushing of the water. Allow this water to become your support. The Force that keeps you going.
You see, if used properly, the Force can be very powerful and awesome thing. Of course, this is where some run into trouble with the dark side. If it is used simply for the sake of accomplishment in great things, then it will give you exactly what you need. If used while angry, or in frustration, then you may be disappointed by the conclusion.
This same concept can be applied to martial arts. Many are led to believe that the use of the natural tools (those being hands and feet), must be restricted to proper placement and direction. Your opponent, however, may not be in the same spot that those martial arts teach. The simple fact that these movements can be done without the complications is what needs to be understood. Instead of contemplating on how to kick, or how to punch, and where, I say just KICK! Put the Force of that river behind it. Just go through with it. You may miss, but that's the risk. If you are defending yourself, or another, you have no time to remember proper stance, or technique.
The most important thing to remember though is what came from Bruce Lee. "I said emotional content... not anger." "Don't think." "It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. If you concentrate on the finger, you will miss all that heavenly glory."
