Quote by Bruce Lee, Chinese-American martial artist and actor (1940–1973)

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

Bruce Lee, Chinese-American martial artist and actor (1940–1973)

Bruce Lee wasn’t just a fighter; he was a philosopher of grit. This quote flips the common wish for ease on its head. A meaningful life will often be a hard life — but if you build the strength to carry it, it becomes powerful rather than painful.

Every time you face discomfort and stay with it, you grow stronger. Don’t seek comfort above all. Seek capacity.

Resilience is built, not given.
