The Success-Point

A couple of years ago, I happened to be at the center of a TV show, precisely a documentary about the very famous fighter ''Bruce Lee'' and though I had seen a few movies that he played a role in, I had observed that his acts weren’t all so film staged but real but, I didn’t really believe that any man could fight that way in any movie without proper adjustment in the movie production.

While watching that documentary, Bruce Lee said some remarkable sentences and I for one can't really remember every word because it's been a long time but I'll do my best to take you all along. He was asked by the host a question concerning his breakthrough in Martial arts and he said ''Anything I want to achieve and possesses, I start with my mind, If I need to be more calm but fierce, I start it first with my mind, at first its intangible because you can't yet see it physically but if I stay at it for a little longer then it becomes real and that way I can be anything I want to be. I can be Fast as air and still be calm as the air, I could be still as water but also dangerous as water and it all starts when I picture it in my mind''.

Bruce Lee was one of the most outstanding fighters to have ever walked the earth, he was an amazing actor that featured in most old Kung fu movies you and I might know, he was actually a gifted man and indeed successful in his craft. He was able to harness the power of his mind, utilize it to perform actions that became tangible as life went on and no martial arts is celebrated today without first giving recognition to Bruce Lee who was one of the founding fathers of Martial Arts in general. Furthermore, Bruce, from his words, referred to the mind more often because to him, his mind was his greatest power and his most valuable asset.

A few weeks ago, I released an article concerning meditation and i gave a detailed description of what the mind is, you can check it out sometime. However, being successful starts with you agreeing with your mind, acknowledging the fact that your mind is the first success-point because the truth is '' If you can't first see it with your mind, it will never ever become reality and until you are able to put your mind to work and see with your mind then, success will always elude you always''.

So long steemians, until next time, see you later and don’t forget to be on the lookout for the next episode of the Success Mentality Series.
