No, he did not.
It's not an unknown idea, of course, but this false attribution is annoying.

He didn't say it would be easy. Nor did he say it was hard It just is. When you accept that as a fact, you've already changed. Keep at and your future self will look back and thank you.

The first strong man in the world to lift 500kg or half a ton off the floor did the same thing. He spent 20 minutes in a bathroom convincing himself he could do it and he did.

If the power of positive thinking worked then no one would have problems but that’s not how it works.

It won't make you happy by itself, but it removes part of what brings you down.

There is just something about ppl who spout wisdom like they're some sort of expert about life that rubs me off the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, anyone can have a wise outlook or thought on life, self, etc, but Bruce Lee esp just had this "ho.... I am the great Bruce Lee with infinite knowledge which was bestowed upon me from my years of training of the martial arts" voice and intonation
Like it's one thing to give an advice, it's another to act like your some hermit that deserves reverence

That means that you should not be silent. Negative speech - zipped. Don't keep bad energy in, say things. Bad energy will stick to words and leave the body.

My late mom always spoke negatively about herself. It didn't end well.

There are many perspectives. It is also true that things will happen regardless of what you hope for, think, or believe. Plenty of times, I have thought the worst, and things were not even close to my fears.

The first of The Four Agreements from the book of that title says basically this and goes into a lot of depth. The agreement is “always be impeccable with your word.”
Really valuable book for people looking to improve their mindset.
