We have great work ahead of us, and it needs devotion and much, much energy. To grow, to discover, we need involvement, which is something I experience every day - sometimes good, sometimes frustrating. No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.

The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.
Bruce Lee
Image
For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.
Bruce Lee
Image
More and more I believe in the fact that you have two hands and two legs, and the thing is how to make good use of yourself - and that's about it.
Bruce Lee

Meditation means to be free from all phenomena and calmness means to be internally unperturbed. There will be calmness when one is free from external objects and is not perturbed.

Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.
Bruce Lee

Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.

All knowledge leads to self-knowledge.

Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!
