A Path to Being Yourself

The Tao Chapter 19 – My Interpretation

Remove the need to measure up, and you experience pure happiness.

Remove the need to judge or be judged, and your true inner nature emerges.

Remove the need to dominate, and your goodness within is liberated.

If removal feels impossible, then simply quiet your activities and rest in the silence. There you will sense who you really are.  Allow yourself to be that.

As I read Stephen Mitchell’s translation of the Tao Te Ching daily, I reflect and document my interpretation with the intention of living the Tao.
