When Bruce Lee injured his back in 1970, he was bedridden for months and told by his doctors that he would never be able to kick again.

This could have been the end of the Little Dragon and of Jeet Kune Do, but it was during this time of trial that Bruce Lee created what is now arguably his biggest martial arts legacy — the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and the additional volumes of notes he hand wrote on the martial way. It is also during this time that he ceased physical training and immersed himself if inner work or rather spiritual training and personal growth. Bruce Lee studied and quoted the works of the Buddha, Alan Watts, Carl Rogers, Lao Tzu, Fritz Perls, Daicet Suziki, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Helen Keller, and many more.

It is important to remember the power of the mind, our perceptions, beliefs, and spirit. The world really is what we make of it.

We, as individuals, have a greater potential for greatness if we live as though everything that happens in our lives is a direct result of our thoughts and actions.

On this thought, here is a tremendous blog post from Ross Enamait at RossTraining.com on the power of positive thinking.
