What does Bruce Lee's "The Process of Self-Discovery" say?

The impression of Bruce Lee has always been about martial arts, and recently I accidentally saw Bruce Lee's "The Artist of Life" to learn that he is very deep in philosophy and poetry, he has been discovering the true self, martial arts is a tool for discovering the self, and he has deeply integrated martial arts and philosophy. The "Self-Discovery Process," Bruce Lee's first essay in Hong Kong, was revised eight times and completed during the filming of dragon fights and death games. The core content of the article is two aspects, on the one hand, the understanding of the self, on the other hand, some exploration of the method of realizing the self.

01

Understanding of the self

The role and responsibility of a person lies in sincerity, and we must sincerely develop our self-potential and practice the goal of self-realization, rather than committing to the realization of self-image. To realize our potential, we should not waste energy on creating a meaningless self-image. Creating a self-image is unreal and it wastes our precious energy. To discover and realize oneself, one needs to be self-reliant and self-reliant, to discover one's ignorance.

Many people don't like the unknown, and the fear is due to the fact that they are at a loss in their hearts, busy all day, and spend a lot of energy to mold themselves into one person or another. A lifetime of dedication to realizing a concept of who you should be, rather than realizing one's growing potential.

Absolute honesty and direct self-torture can lead us to true epiphanies. Our lives are a process of constant evolution and renewal.

In the process of self-discovery, we must learn to really see, and true seeing is an unbiased consciousness that can lead to new discoveries, and discovery is one of the ways to stimulate self-potential.

02

Self-actualization methods of exploration

The realization of self can only help ourselves, without others to save, we must adopt a positive attitude to save ourselves, rather than waiting for others to save us.

Forms of self-help include daily discovery through unbiased observation, wholehearted effort, and perseverance, paranoid professionalism.

The core of self-help is to take action. Most people will only talk about doing this and doing that mentally or emotionally, but just staying on the spiritual level and not taking action. Others say you should do it, you should do it, and you never act. Such two types of people are undoubtedly unable to discover themselves.

Self-discovery = facing yourself sincerely and finding yourself = self-help (first of all, have an active consciousness) + action (in action can you better find yourself)
