Bruce Lee: You Might As Well Be Dead

June 7, 2012

Here’s a quote I like, from Bruce Lee…

You might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physically or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.

— Bruce Lee

(Update: This is an old post, back from when I was on Tumblr and just copying and pasting quotes. But maybe you’d like my article about doing hard things.)

How did I end up in Spain? Why am I still here almost 20 years later? Excellent questions. With no good answer... Anyway, at some point I became a blogger, bestselling author and contributor to Lonely Planet. So there's that. Drop me a line, I'm happy to hear from you.
