Imbalance Leads to Balance

| The Tao Chapter 77 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Life creates balance where there is imbalance. Where there is excess, it takes away; where there is too little it gives. It happens in nature and in you. If you choose not to slow down, Life will cause you to.

Taking from others or trying to control their fate is unwise. As you take from others, you take from yourself. It is the balance occurring.

You are in a better place when you give from your storehouse of goodness. Give compassion and kindness without expectations. Because of balance, Life is sure to return it to you.

LIVING THE TAO: I used to have a supervisor who stifled my growth for his benefit. He admitted once that he put the kibosh on my promotion because he needed my expertise in his presence. In later years his supervisor put the kiboshon his career, forcing him to start over. Life will bring balance to your actions, so consider strongly what they are. Give in thought, words, deeds or objects from a generous space.

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.
