Grow from the Inside

| The Tao Chapter 69 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Rushing ahead because of impatience disrupts the natural flow of things and may slow progress. Instead, sit still and observe your reaction to being patient. Is there more for you to learn? And as you learn, notice how the natural flow of your desired intention happens for you.

This is, as they say, the universe conspiring in your favor.

Rushing ahead to beat your competition is a never-ending game that creates harm. Trying to grow from the outside is superficial and depleting. Growth from the inside nurtures your physical, mental and spiritual being.

Eventually, you lose ground when you compete with harmful intentions. Advancement comes when your growth originates from within. Ultimately, all involved will benefit.

LIVING THE TAO: The act of competing against what you cannot control is draining and has the potential to draw you away from your purpose. Stay true to who you are by focusing your growth inward.

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.
