All Ways of Life is like a garden. Take what you want. Put it in your garden and let it grow.
A story from my life:
When I was a child, my father taught me the Chinese classic literture and philosophy. There was a book named <道德经> (Tao Te Ching) which written by Lao Tze who is the most famous Chinese philosopher Confucius' teacher. <Tao Te Ching> consists of 81 chapters, only around 5000 words in total. Even some chapters I can fluently recite, but most of them I can Not understand at all.
My father wanted me to be a scholar who has enlightened mind, but sooner I grew up as a warrior with wild body. Basketball, Running, Freediving, Yoga and Taichi I practice all of them day by day. And later I began to share my practice and understanding with friends and students.
One day when I was practicing Ashtanga Yoga in Bali I shared a bit Taichi with friends in a resturant which is decorated in Chinese Taoism and Zen style, something crossed in my mind is why <Tao Te Ching> has another name called <The Way of Life>.
"Yes, that's a perectly proper name", I told myself.
If you are on The Way of Life you are Doing nothing but everything, because you are Being, which means you are honestly expressing yourself or staying ture to yourself. When you honestly express yourself all the time you honestly express the whole universe, so that no matter how the world changes, what the challenge you are facing, you will have no fear to Love, to Respect and to Be into, and then Shakespeare's To Be or Not To Be, that is Not a question anymore.
That's why 李小龙 Bruce Lee 以无法为有法，以无限为有限 (Using no way as way, Having no limitation as limitation) and 史蒂夫·乔布斯 Steve Jobs 致虚极，守静笃 (Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish).
I am on my Way of Life and I wish the same to you: On your Way of Life.
With Love and Respect,
