Don't force anything

Not forcing anything does not mean “doing nothing.”

It means observing that there is a time for action. In judo, action is used only at the right moment. Never use the muscle at the wrong movement.

Practice sailing instead of rowing.

The man of superior virtue has no intention to be virtuous, and that is virtue.

Realize that you don’t know what you want to do. Stay quiet, then “it” tells you.

View what is as if you did not even know how to talk. Red is not red; blue is not blue.

Everything is like waves in the ocean.

Treat the thoughts in your head as shapes in the spray as the sea gets on the rocks.
