    1. What are you really thinking about today?
    ???As you think, so shall you become.??~Bruce Lee
    Perhaps the most basic statement of how we work. Think about what you are thinking today. What do those thoughts say about you? About your life? And how well do they really match your plans for your life and your image of yourself?
    2. Simplify.
    ???It??s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.??~Bruce Lee
    ???If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you??ll never get it done.??~Bruce Lee
    If you want to improve your life then it??s tempting to want to add more. One problem with this may be that you don??t really have the time or energy to do more though. And so your efforts to improve become short-lived.
    Adding more and more just creates more stress and anxiety. Removing clutter and activities, tasks and thoughts that are not so important frees up time and energy for you to do more of what you really want to do.
    3. Learn about yourself in interactions.
    ???To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.??~Bruce Lee
    The one person that is the hardest to get to really know may be yourself. Studying yourself while you are alone may result in some insights. But it??s also likely to produce a lot of made up thought loops and doubts in your mind. A good way to really learn more about yourself is study yourself in interactions with other people. How people react and act in these interaction can over time teach you a lot. And what you think and how you react can perhaps teach you even more.
    4. Do not divide.
    ???Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.??~Bruce Lee
    This is a very useful and powerful thought. It is also one that obviously is hard to live by. Why? because the ego loves to divide and find ways to ???add more?? to itself. It want??s to feel better than someone else. Or more clever. Or prettier. Or cooler. Or wiser.
