Attracting Benevolence

| The Tao Chapter 8 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Let it be that by your nature your presence nourishes, inspires and brings encouragement.

By allowing yourself to become more of who you are, you accomplish this without trying.

Be grounded in humbled greatness.

Be direct and kind with your words.

Be fair and considerate in conflict.

Be flexible and allowable, leaving room for growth.

Be content and joyful doing work from your heart.

Be in the moment—mindfully present—with everyone you encounter.

Allowing yourself to be this way adds to your becoming while drawing to you benevolence.

LIVING THE TAO: In which of these ways do you want your light to shine more today? Make the decision, then let it be so.

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my fifth reading of Stephen Mitchell’s translation. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
