No Limits

Bruce Lee is the best martial artist of all time not because he was a pioneer of his art.  He studied different forms of martial arts during his lifetime and extracted what he believed to be the most effective and practical moves from these styles, eventually forming Jeet Kune Do.  He believed that simplicity was the best approach and that one should always be striving to become better, faster and stronger.  Bruce Lee was very philosophical and one of the best things about him was his ability to dissect one’s mind, including that of his opponents.  Bruce was extremely intelligent and a once-in-a-lifetime talent who will forever be a legend.  It is a shame he died at such a young age.  Bruce was and is an inspiration to millions!

“If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life.  There are no limits, there are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”

-Bruce Lee

Best Bruce Lee Movie!!

This is one of my favorite Bruce Lee movies of all time, let alone one of my all-time favorites!  It is very nostalgic to watch this movie, as it brings me back to my youth.   Reminds me of practicing karate with my brother, performing karate demonstrations with our dojo, and competing in tournaments.  Miss those days!!

Inspirational Sport Quotes

I look to athletes as role models, not only for myself, but for kids around the world. I like to look at athletes work ethic and embody that in my everyday work. They wake up at 5 Am for workouts, have practice, then watch film on the work they just put in. I respect that! Here are a few sport related quotes that you can implement into your personal philosophy.

"Success takes time, you have to work at it"

Well said, Erin!

"We must fail over and over to become successful"

“Michael knows best”

The path of least resistance isn’t always the best. Sometimes you have to stick it out, fail, get up, and try again to become successful. Athletes have figured that out. Keep grinding and good things will come.
