Embrace Peace, Release Stress

| The Tao Chapter 10 – My Third Interpretation |

Are you able to calm your mind from worry or release the tenseness of a moment from your body?

Are you able to let go of the stories that generate situational stress and not allow circumstances to devour you?

Are you able to lead without controlling and allow the natural flow?

When you are able to create with care then let go of the results and not bend them to your will, you have developed worthy personal assets.

Confidence, strength and trust become your companions.

Inner peace is then your lasting friend.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, select one aspect of your life where you are holding the reigns tightly, then do this: draw the line between what is in your power and what is not. Then do what is in your power and release the rest. This is an exercise in non-attachment and stress reduction.

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.
