Bruce Lee's Daily Affirmations
Think on these things
Willpower
- Recognizing that the power of will is the supreme court over all other departments of my mind. I will exercise it daily when I need the urge to action for any purpose; and I will form habits designed to bring the power of my will into action at least once daily.
Emotion
- Realizing that my emotions are both positive and negative, I will form daily habits which will encourage the development of the positive emotions and aid me in converting he negative emotions into some form of useful actions
Reason
- Recognizing that both my positive and negative emotions may be dangerous if they are not controlled and guided to desirable ends, I will submit all my desires, aims, and purposes to my faculty of reason, and I will be guided by it in giving expression to these.
Imagination
- Recognizing the need for sound plans and ideas for the attainment of my desires, I will develop my imagination by calling upon it daily for help in the formation of my plans.
Memory
- Recognizing the value of an alert mind and an alert memory, I will encourage mine to become alert by taking care to impress it clearly with all thoughts I wish to recall and by associating those thoughts with related subjects which I may call to mind frequently.
Subconscious Mind
- Recognizing the influence of my subconscious mind over my power of will, I shall take care to submit to it a clear and definite picture of my purpose in life and all minor purposes leading to my major purpose, and I shall keep this picture constantly before my subconscious mind by repeating it daily!
Conscience
- Recognizing that my emotions often err in their
over-enthusiasm, and my faculty of reason often is
without the warmth of feeling that is necessary to enable
me to combine justice with mercy in my judgments, I will
encourage my conscience to guide me as to what is right
and what is wrong.
