Life doesn't get any easier. You are getting stronger! Master Shi Heng Yi (释恒義) is the headmaster of the Shaolin Temple Europe (歐洲少林寺) and takes over in this function the physical as well as the mental training of the novices, disciples and master students of the monastery in Otterberg / Germany.

His goal and endeavor is not only to explain and convey theoretical principles in an understandable way, but above all to make this knowledge practical and tangible in daily life, and usable for people.

The best I've ever felt in my entire life was when I lost over 150 pounds and became a martial artist. At my peak, I felt untouchable. I felt godly, literally. And I say that completely without any ego or attachment. All I'm saying is he's right. We are too weak and lazy. Cave men didn't have time for depression and neither should we.

How many of you noticed he explained "Choice" and thanked once for the "Chance" and left the "Change" for us to work with.

"The most beautiful people
we know are those
who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle,
and have found their way
out of the depths.
They have a understanding of life
that fills them with compassion.
Beautiful people don't just happen,
they're created through hardship."

Right👍 “Life doesn’t get easier, you get stronger”

As a psychotherapist, I can relate to his thoughts. Too many people living in their heads, too many theories, so less practice, disconnecting body or using it as a mechanical and performative tool. Such a simple, concrete and powerful ted talk ❤

[cloudshyne]

1. His voice is really calming and captivating
2. The things we must all contend with are "choice", and the "consequences" of them
3. Mental strength gets you through, so it's worth investing in. Resilience.
4. Physical activity can build mental resilience and impact a kind of wisdom.

His first Ted Talk literally changed my life. This one has refreshed and renewed my perspective for sure!

After implementing a morning meditation, stretch, and calisthenics has drastically improved my work ethic, mental health, and anxiety I encourage anyone that feels overwhelmed to take it slow and learn something new relating to fitness everyday to implant in your life.

You are special and you are loved I hope you have a lot of success on your journey. ❤

Agreed very important that’s how I make my own decisions. OWN YOUR LIFE: “What the ordinary one seeks is in others. What the wise one seeks is in himself.”

Started exercising with this brother about two years ago when I stumbled upon his YouTube channel. Mind you, I was 65, female, and was in the midst of a major emotional crisis at that time. But my life had been one of athleticism since my youth, so I went for it. It was DIFFICULT!! But you know what? I kid you not. Within two weeks of constantly losing my balance, holding positions that I never thought I had the strength to do anymore, and just continuing to show up, there was a physical, mental and emotional shift in me. I knew that I had found what I'd been searching for. I LOVE working with this Master. ❤

[liton]

Even the last sentence "Nice evening!!" shows how present he is, living in only the moment!!

I'm truly impressed by his hands and arms. They tell their own story. One of dedication, discipline and perseverance.

The Shaolin Tradition is a very precious gift to humanity. This is the way of the warrior. The way to move through life. The way to inner peace and self-respect, leading to universal peace and respect.

[Prankles]

Attitude is people’s issue when it comes to life’s problems. If you can change your attitude, you can change your surroundings. If you can change your surroundings, you can change your life. If you can change your life, you can change your world.
