Reading time: 4 minutes
Bruce succeeded in many aspects of life which are not necessarily strictly related only to the martial arts world. In fact, studying Bruce Lee's writings one can immediately see the link between his incredible success and his mindset.
Bruce Lee (November 27, 1940 - July 20, 1973) is usually best remembered as a martial arts icon whose legacy is still alive today. Founder of his own concept martial art, the Jeet Kune Do, Bruce is by many people considered the father of modern MMA. His contribution to the cinema and the portrayal of martial arts and Asian people in western movies cannot be forgotten.
You can remember Bruce for the aspect you like the most, there are many to choose from. However, probably the area in which Bruce remains underrated the most is philosophy.
Bruce Lee's Writings
Following, we want to share with you some of Bruce's writings, little yet deep notes he took in order to study himself and his mind. He was a fiery journaler and kept taking notes of everything, whether it was his personal events agenda or deep and introspective reflections.
Will Power
"Recognizing that the power of will is the supreme court over all other departments of my mind, I will exercise it daily when I need the urge to action for any purpose, and I will form HABIT designed to bring the power of my will into action at least once daily."
Emotion
"Realizing that my emotions are both POSITIVE and negative I will form daily HABITS which will encourage the development of the POSITIVE EMOTIONS, and aid me in converting the negative emotions into some form of useful action."
Reason
"Recognizing that both my positive & negative emotions may be dangerous if they are not controlled and guided to desirable ends, I will submit all my desires, aims, and purposes to my faculties of reason, and I will be guided by it in giving expression to these."
Imagination
"Recognizing the need for sound PLANS and IDEAS for the attainment of my desires, I will develop my imagination by calling upon it daily for help in the formation of my plans."
Memory
"Recognizing the value of an alert memory, I will encourage mine to become alert by taking care to impress it clearly with all thoughts I wish to recall, and by associating those thoughts with related subjects which I may call to mind frequently."
Subconscious Mind
"Recognizing the influence of my subconscious mind over my power of will, I shall take care to submit to it a clear and definite picture of my CLEAR PURPOSE in life and all minor purposes leading to my major purpose, and I shall keep this picture CONSTANTLY BEFORE my subconscious mind by REPEATING IT DAILY."
Conscience
"Recognizing that my emotions often err in their over-enthusiasm, and my faculty of reason often is without the warmth of feeling that is necessary to enable me to combine justice with mercy in my judgments, I will encourage my conscience to guide me as to what is right & what is wrong, but I will never set aside the verdicts it renders, no matter what may be the cost of carrying them out."
