Bruce Lee 5:32AM
Monday I caught up with Robyn, hadn't seen her in ages. It was cool. The florist shop she is going to help start up and work in is also looking good. She went round to look at a flat with an old flatmate who just happened to be currently living next door. The flat was cool so they took it. She always gets things sorted out fast for her.
Came home and everyone was shattered. We ordered in pizza and watched a Bruce Lee program I hadn't seen before. Bruce Lee is a legend. He analyzed martial arts until he came to the conclusion that the way is no way. You must adapt to whatever situation you are currently in, never follow exact movements or else that in itself will be your weakness. In his own words...
""You must be like water my friend. When poured into a cup water will become the cup, when poured into a tea pot, water will become the tea pot. But water is hard, it wears down rocks and gouges out valleys...""
or something like that. He is an inspiration and he trained so hard. You should have seen some of the pictures of him. His muscles were amazing... moving towards total control of body and mind. He did something to a muscle in his back when lifting heavy weights and the doctors said he'd never fight again. He was bed ridden for months and he took it. He new he had to recover to get better so he didn't train. Instead he read. He got out books on meditation and control of the mind and healing and whatever and read them all and he became wiser. He wrote so many notes, so many diagrams and had so many ideas. He was the true philosopher (and he studied just that in the states), he was a true legend. I really want to join the gym now!
Tuesday I did lots of exercise and weights (I was motivated). I was also motivated of the mind. This hasn't happened for ages. I wrote down five A4 sheets worth of ideas. Two were potential web site ideas. One was about the charkra points in the body, motivation, healing, relaxation, strength, etc... I was kinda making it up. One was a story and one something else. I also had a cool idea which I can't say about. All I can say is that when the mind is in the right mood it works well...
I did do other stuff but I forget now... now its Wednesday. Didn't do much today. Robyn was supposed to come around but she didn't, slack arse...
Gonna watch a DVD with Tom hopefully, sussing out the gym is posponed till another day
