The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike all will then be clear.

To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to either spend or waste and it is our decision what to do with it. But once passed, it is gone forever.
Bruce Lee

In order to realize our true self we must be willing to live without being dependent upon the opinion of others.
Bruce Lee
Image
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
