Bruce Lee is one of the greatest martial atists of all time and his philosophy and mindset is an inspiration to many. Here are some of his best quotes to motivate you to live your full potential and give it your best-
“A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.”
“Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”
“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself.”
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.”
“Believe me that in every big thing or achievement there are always obstacles-big or small- and the reaction one shows to such obstacles is what counts, not the obstacle itself.”
“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”
“Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality.”
“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. If you put water in 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.”
“I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.”
“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times.”
“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”
“It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.”
“Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.”
“The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.”
“The more we value things, the less we value ourselves.”
“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.”
“Truth comes when your mind and heart are purged of all sense of striving and you are no longer trying to become somebody; it is there when the mind is very quiet, listening timelessly to everything.”
