Hey !
I've been watching a series about Bruce Lee on Netflix and it's really sparked some inspiration for this weeks email.
Bruce Lee was a brilliant martial artist but what a lot of people don't know is he was a very smart and insightful man.
BE LIKE WATER was one of his favourite sayings and I'll expand a little more on my understanding of how this can be applied and why it's such an important metaphor for inspiring a more fulfilling life.
SO LETS GET INTO IT.
Water, Knowing more and acquiring confidence.
Read time- about 90 seconds.
Enjoy!
WATER BECOMES THE CUP
Which means it can adapt to any circumstance or situation it runs into. Although soft it has the ability mould itself to or penetrate the object in front of it. Which means nothing can ultimately stop it. It can be calm yet it can be devastating.
TAKE AWAY- Rather than resisting the obstacle we should mould ourselves to it. Instead of resisting change we should surrender to it.
KNOWING IS NOT ENOUGH.
Being in the fitness industry for over 10 years I was once naive enough to think the more I knew the better I would become. Now I'm in my mid 30’s I've stated to realise that knowing is not enough. Knowing and not using is just acquired talent being wasted.
TAKE AWAY- Start using what you know.
THE MORE WE DO THE MORE WE AQUIRE CONFIDENCE.
Taking more action is never going to hurt our chances of success. Even if it's the wrong action we gain the knowledge on what not to do. Which is just as important as gaining knowledge on what to do through our experience.
TAKE AWAY- knowledge through experience is 10 times more valuable than knowledge itself.
BE A COOL HUMAN
Cool humans look after other cool humans.
So if you liked this email, take a moment to think of another cool human that would benefit from it and share it with them by forwarding this email.
Until next week be like water.
