The Spark ("Be water, my friend")

quote

“Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

Bruce Lee

Navigating the Currents of Life of Life:

Be Fluid, Embrace the Wisdom of Water.

Just as waters navigates their course with calm, resilience and adaptability, we should too approach the challenges and experiences of life in a similar way. Water also under intense pressure or from high altitudes has the power to crash, to erode. So let’s try to control unnecessary pressure and stay level.

Interestingly, the complete quote by Bruce Lee starts by saying: “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless,” showing that the true lessons is to embrace fluidity! The more fluid you are, the less friction you suffer and cause. The less rigid you are, the less set in rigid forms and shapes to define you, the more adaptable and resilient you can be.

We have to make the effort to cultivate this fluid state of mind in order to create the calm and space needed to think, to observe, to listen, to question, to help others. Be Fluid, Embrace the Wisdom of Water.

If we live in a state of tension with ourselves and with our surroundings; we will impact nothing and we will be impacted always.
