Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.
Bruce Lee
Image
A kung fu man lives without being dependant on the opinions of others, and a master, unlike the beginner, holds himself in reserve. He is quiet and unassuming, with no desire to show off.
Bruce Lee
Image
Everyone wants to learn how to win, but no one wants to learn how to accept defeat.
Bruce Lee

Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you.
Bruce Lee

To me defeat in anything is merely temporary. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing it is a path leading to success and truth.
Bruce Lee
Image
Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.

What Is, is more important than What Should Be.
Bruce Lee
Image
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one
Bruce Lee

A kung fu man who was really good was not proud at all. Pride emphasizes the superiority of one's status. There has to be fear and insecurity in pride, because when you aim at being highly esteemed and achieve such status, you automatically start to worry about losing status.
Bruce Lee

Defeat is a state of mind no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
Bruce Lee

Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.
Bruce Lee
Image
Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind.
Bruce Lee

Satori - in the awakening from a dream. Awakening and self-realization and seeing into one's own being - these are synonymous.

Seek freedom from the conformity of styles
Bruce Lee
Image
One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition. This means that one should do nothing that is not natural or spontaneous the important thing is not to strain in any way.
Bruce Lee
Image
Life is wide, limitless. There is no border, no frontier.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.

Stop wasting time in playing a role or a concept. Instead, learn to ACTUALIZE YOURSELF, your potential.
