Bruce Lee is an icon in the worlds of martial arts and cinema. He remains an inspiration to this day, but we should never strive to be Bruce Lee. We should strive to be our most authentic and truest selves.

This is what Bruce's daughter, Shannon Lee, explains in Be Water, My Friend (2020). Bruce's philosophy for martial arts, and life, was to be like water - constantly in motion, ready for anything, and always able to adapt and evolve. Yet we should also be rigid, in the sense that we never change who we are. This is how we express ourselves freely, improve our relationships, and truly live our lives.

Martial arts may not be for everyone, but Bruce Lee's principles and example for how to live can benefit anyone trying to achieve their goals in whatever discipline they find themselves in.
