It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

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.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

The height of cultivation runs to simplicity.

Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are weeds that strangle confidence.

The successful warrior is like the average man, with laser-like focus.

Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.
