Introduction Pt. 3

Now, I get to the good stuff.  

So, why have I told you all of this?  Why have I created this blog?  Because, Mercury in Retrograde kicked my ass!  :D 

In remembering Bruce’s sage words of wisdom, it made me want more.  It made me want peace in my life.  Peace of mind.  A strong body. Positive influence and thoughts.  Chi.  Hoodoo, Magic. Mojo.  Whatever it was that Bruce discovered in his life, I want that peace, that flow, that joy.  

When someone (of my generation or older) says “Bruce Lee” everyone immediately goes straight to “Kung Fu” or “Karate” (which, by the way, would make him cringe) but not me.  I never knew of ‘Bruce Lee, the Martial Artist’, I only know of ‘Bruce Lee, the man’, the man he was, the man he grew to be, the man he was in life, the man he is as my spirit guide.  He was quite a phenomenal man in life.  Formidable as an opponent, but as a philosopher, the man had so much wisdom to share with everyone.  He went from being a follower of Confucius and Lao Tzu (to name his two favorites) to adapting their wisdom, seeing it for what it was and adding a bit of himself to it, thus transitioning from student of Philosophy to full fledged Philosopher.  And one I’d genuinely follow. 

HA! A thought just struck me!  For those reading along who are friends from FaceBook, you’ll have seen me post something about this within the last six or eight months, but if someone can go and LEGALLY have Beyonce declared a deity, and her songs the ‘Bible of Beyism’ then I should definitely do the same for Bruce and have Leeism declared a religion!  Even he would laugh at how absurd that sounds.  I don’t think he would want that kind of accolade. 

At any rate, the whole point to all of this (as I said, I am known to ramble… scrolls up, then back down… at least I stayed on topic) is that I did some self reflecting over the last six weeks and I’ve decided there need to be some very serious changes in my life. Changes that I cannot exactly do on my own, but on my own I am.  I have asked Bruce to return to me as a spirit guide.  To help me to embody the Bruce Lee Philosophy.  To become of sound mind and sound body…  one unit working in perfect harmony with itself and with everything and everyone around it. 

To complete that partial quote from him that I mentioned earlier:

"Empty your mind.  Be formless, shapeless, like water.  Now you can put water into a cup and it becomes the cup.  You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.  You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.  Now water can flow, or it can crash.  Be water, my friend."

And that is what I want to do… what I want to be…. Water.

The point in this blog is changing one’s stars.  One cannot change their stars with a negative mind and a poisoned body.  One must change their way of thinking, change their way of being, and in doing so, they can manifest the reality they see with their mind and change their stars. 

This blog is to chronicle my transition from Ms. Negative Nancy to become someone who is positive, despite herself.  To become someone who is strong in her faith and belief in herself.  In doing so, I want to share this transition with those who are willing to walk this path along side of me, as my cheerleaders; the ones who believe in me as much as I want to believe in myself.  Your opinions of me, your belief in me, is not required… I’m GOING to walk this path with or without you.  But your company is most welcome.  Just remember to keep it positive.  And if you’re having a bad day, I hope in some way that I can inspire you to keep your head up and keep moving forward.  Tomorrow is another day.  

-The End, for now.  Hehe.  ;) 

Please remember to be kind to others, most especially yourself.  Namaste'

Peace, Love, Light, and Blessings.
