Compassionate Warriors Win

| The Tao Chapter 77 – My Third Interpretation|

From disharmony, life creates harmony. From imbalance, life creates balance.

Lovers of control may try to dominate, but eventually their reign ends and the change they resisted declares what she’s always been—destined.

Force and might may win the battle. Surrender and compassion win the war.

The Master knows that it is with service, not a whip, that she leads.

She does not esteem herself higher than another because it is together, in harmony, that what is won, endures.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, be present to cease your moments of opportunity to surrender for balance’s and harmony’s sake.

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my third 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.
