Had Bruce Lee not died too young he would have reached the same ethereal and cerebral status as had Muhammed Ali.
My favorite quote of his:
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.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and 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.
Water is a metaphor for everything we do in life. Spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, athletically, professionally…water adapts, water embraces, water heals.
No wonder I’ve had a lifelong love affair with H2O…
This is one of my favourite analogies. Be like the water that flows around the rocks instead of getting frustrated by obstacles.
