Control and Surrender

| The Tao Chapter 53 – My Third Interpretation|

When we center our hearts and minds in the stream of life’s flow, we experience life with ease and grace. But many choose the path of control, opting to strive, struggle, and stress.

The path of control creates disharmony within ourselves and among our circle.

Weapons among diseases, waste amidst hunger, abundance existing with poverty—these dichotomies are the evidence of disharmony by way of control.

The path of surrender however, leads to harmony within and among us. The path of surrender offers freedom, expansion and grace.

Centering your heart and mind in the stream of life’s flow begins with your decision to do so.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, decide what you choose: striving, struggle and stress, or freedom, expansion and grace.

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.
