Let Go to Have More

| The Tao Chapter 22 – My Second Interpretation |

To become all you can be, give up your thoughts of who you think you should be. There is a part of you that says how, what and where you are supposed to be at this time of life according to the norms of others. That voice has created an illusion. Let it be silenced.

The wise allows life to happen through her. There is nothing to prove and no status to strive for. Therefore, she is honest in her ways and successful in her beingness.

In order to have everything that matters, let go of everything that doesn’t. It is when you let life happen through you that you fully become.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, consider something in your possession that is a nice-to-have, but unnecessary, then think of someone who would benefit from its use. Practice the art of letting go and give it to them.

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.
