“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one”
~Bruce Lee
“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.”
~Bruce Lee

"Qi spreads without breathing as a result of the open and closing, movement and stillness, in this martial art. This is the root of this Qi and how it is created. The subtleties of letting go and expanding, receiving and contracting, are from this Qi going out. Opening makes expanding and moving. Closing makes receiving, contracting, and stillness. Opening makes yang. Closing makes yin. Letting go, expanding, and movement makes yang. Receiving, contracting and stillness makes yin. Opening and closing are the shapes of the one Qi cycling through yin and yang. That is Taiji - the one Qi."
~Sun Lu Tang, Study of Taiji Boxing

That’s how winning is done!”
