“I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.”
— Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts
Connect with your spirit at dawn.
The truth is finding the path to humility.
Look at yourself and fight the inner dragon.
Be your St George.
Find intimate redemption with your spirit.
As you find a course, not worrying about what others think.
Proceed with the courage to the authenticity of your spirit.
Change starts from within silence.
Do not show off.
You can’t change anything for the better until you change yourself.
Be fearless.
Earn the respect you deserve, without judgment or chaos.
