Happiness Distractions.

| The Tao Chapter 44 – My Second Interpretation |

Fame, money and worldly success: they are all outward appearances of fulfillment, yet they are not. Seeking fulfillment from outside creates emptiness. Depending on materiality for happiness creates discontent.

Your happiness begins within. Become content with this moment. Everything you need for life is in it. Live this way moment to moment and you will find the happiness you seek.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, stop for a moment, take a deep breath and think about everything you essentially need to experience life in that moment? Do you have it? You will find that you do. Practice this several times throughout the day to bring more awareness to authentic fulfillment.

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