“Knowing is not enough, we must APPLY.
Willing is not enough, we must DO.”
-Bruce Lee
I appreciate this wisdom from Bruce Lee because it gets to the heart of everything. The goal of the site is to share wisdom and also to provide advice/suggestions as to how you can apply the lessons in your life. But the choice is always yours to actually do it.
So perhaps today, you can chose one of the posts that resonated with you the most, find a way to apply to your life, and then just do it. If you love the results, you can repeat for 21 days and have a new and amazing habit :)

Photo note: I’m a fan of Bruce Lee and ran across this photo and loved it! Though he is known for his legendary fighting skills, Bruce was also a master meditator. His meditative philosophy was: “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless–like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
Meditation is crucial for martial arts practice because it promotes internal strength and self-control, but it is often overlooked in favor of the more physical aspects of the practice. Though the traditional fighting images show Bruce “in the zone”…I find that this image illustrates his inner glow and happy meditative state. Awesome :)
