Limited Immortality

The "Mind Like Water" Simile

"Your ability to generate power is directly proportional to your ability to relax"
- Dave Allen

What is the difference between a cluttered mind and a clear mind? A cluttered mind bring forth much stress, resulting in less control over your emotions.

One of the basics of martial arts is...be relaxed before making a move. Tension in the mind brings forth weakness. Let your muscles and shoulders relax, you will explode with your punches, resulting you in being more effective.

When going for salah, if you are tense or have worries in your mind, you will not concentrate. Best way to perform your salah is to calm down, do wudu with cold water, and have all your focus and attention toward Allah (swt). Only way you can do that is to have a 'mind like water'.

How?

• Regularly sharpen your saw (About once a week)
• Put things on paper
• plan the day before it comes.
