If you read the personal writings of Bruce Lee, you’ll discover an incredibly deep individual. He was not only a master of the physical, but he was also a master of the spiritual. This is reflected in his famous quote:
“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
He elaborated on this by describing the “The Six Diseases” to avoid:
The desire for victory
The desire to resort to technical cunning
The desire to display all that you have learned
The desire to overawe the enemy
The desire to play a passive role
The desire to get rid of whatever disease you are likely to be infected with
In this podcast, I talk about these and the journey Bruce Lee took to arrive at them.
