Just wanted to share this:
“Bruce Lee Realized early on that in order for us to fulfill our physical potential, we had to approach our exercise endeavours progressively and fight against the desire to pack it all in and retire on the sofa and the television, where we could escape from our “duty” of self-actualization by partaking in it’s opposite -that is, shutting off our minds and allowing our muscles to atrophy. Lee wanted to learn as much about his mind and body as possible. He wanted to know what he was truly capable of rather than settling for what he already knew he could accomplish. To this End, he viewed each training session as a learning experience, an opportunity for improvement to take himself to a new level. As a result ,he had keen eye for spotting people who were selling themselves short by either slacking off in their training or by underestimating what their true capabilities were .”
How often do we just stop because its easy to do so? I often ask “how do we know we are conditioned when we dont know we are conditioned?” and here Bruce puts it nicely “in order for us to fulfill our physical potential, we had to approach our exercise endeavours progressively and fight against the desire to pack it all in and retire on the sofa and the television, where we could escape from our “duty” of self-actualization by partaking in it’s opposite -that is, shutting off our minds and allowing our muscles to atrophy.”
Keep learning, keep growing and more so keep APPLYING
