If a person understands that he may die today or tomorrow, he begins to appreciate every moment. And he cares about every moment of his life. Nobody is perfect, nobody is a superhero. A person cannot choose how he begins his life, but he can choose how to face the end with courage. A crowd is a group of people with heads but no brains.

You don’t have to go far to find happiness, it’s right here, in a quiet, lonely room. All your problems are concentrated in your own heart, so you just need to study yourself. You need to understand who you really are. If you know your own world, you don’t have to be afraid anymore. Failure is fuel for excuses. If you always have the option to stop exercising when you feel uncomfortable, it will be very easy to give yourself permission to stop. The hero shows you how to solve the problem yourself.

Martial arts always tell you how to control your body, mind and heart. Balance. Balance can keep peace. I think this is very good. The enemies around you are created by your desire to expel your own ego. There is no such thing as pure success. I am an action actor. I broke almost every part of my body.

I am learning more truth and enlightenment. I needed to take it to the next level to talk about life. Weapons are neither good nor bad, it all depends on who is using them. In martial arts, the biggest enemy is yourself. You fight within yourself because you want to prove something. Meditation is not about the physical part. It is more about the mental side to understand life.

I have never stopped studying Buddhism. For several years now I have been devoting my time to retreats. Martial art is the knowledge of the harmony of Yin and Yang, the balance between black and white. Only by knowing harmony will you become great.
