Things i have learned from Bruce Lee:
“As you think, so shall you become.”
What are you really thinking about today? i was not thinking big enough
“It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.”
“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”
Simplify. Hell, i was just thinking about all the wonderful things i could do. i never took the time to put things on paper or do things that could make things simpler. No refinement.
“To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.”
Learn about yourself in interactions. i observed that i spoke about my own interest, with no thought as to what the other person's interest was. i never tried understanding what the other person wanted or was interested in. No diversity in thought - no expansion of mind - no growth.
“Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.”
Do not divide. I actually came up with this stuff, but found it difficult to practise. time spent criticizing others or taking sides, this can only be harmful to myself in the long run.
“I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.”
Avoid a dependency on validation from others. though eventually our survival exists on society's approval, there shouldn't be bounds on our creativity because of it. To crib about acceptance by anyone is a crazy thing that leads to disappointment and dissatisfaction.
“Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.”
This i gotta stop. i might be saying the truth a lot of times. but the motive behind it is sometimes suspect. hate, jealousy and simply wishing someone bad luck. i am just wasting my time. the other person is rarely affected. i end up the person most hurt.
“To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.”
Be proactive. Another thing i always say, but rarely do. i need to get started.
“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.”
Being me. Am i always me? no i am not, i always try to be someone else, i am not myself all the time. i know this particular problem and try to fight it at all times. but this causes a conflict in my nature. this is one major reason i cannot keep any relationship going, the other person simply ends up confused.
