A Warrior’s Strength

| The Tao Chapter 60 – My Fifth Interpretation|

It is better to allow individuals to arrive at their truth. When you meddle and force, there is frustration and disempowerment. When you guide and support, there is growth in power. Those phenomena are for you both.

For you to allow in this way, you must be grounded in your own power. It takes the strength of a warrior to surrender to the Great Way of Life.

When left to itself without interference, the natural world adapts. Such is the case with those you lead: encourage and support them, then get out of the way for them to grow and thrive.

LIVING THE TAO: Is there a situation that you influence and believe you must do it all or nothing gets done? You aren’t serving yourself or others well. Both your growth and theirs are being stifled. Reflect on these ideas to determine how you can adjust for your sake and the sake of those your lead.

In 2018 my focus was to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. Now I continue into 2019 with my fifth reading. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
