Keep This Perspective

| The Tao Chapter 51 – My Fourth Interpretation|

The Way, Life and its flow, the Source of all things, existed before you. Your presence though, serves to contribute to the story of physical coming from and returning to nonphysical.

On this path, in your day, in this moment, keep the right perspective. Keep your sight clear. Your purpose is to allow the full becoming of your true self.

Pay attention to the experiences around you. Instead of attaching yourself to the ones you like, open yourself to what they are telling you. Instead of resisting the ones you do not like, open yourself to what they are telling you. All of your experiences come to shape you and guide your path, so pay attention.

Let yourself be guided as you contribute to a story that is larger than your own. Life and its flow will serve you for your good as you surrender to its way.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, I invite you to reflect on the first, second and third interpretations along with this fourth and ask, are there any shifts you are prepared to make today in relation to aligning with the art of living as shared in the Tao?

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