Life as Intended

| The Tao Chapter 23 – My Second Interpretation |

Be one with the moment. Integrate with the experience. This is how the fullness of the occasion emerges.

If you are communicating, focus on your purpose and stray not. This focus makes your expression robust.

When you say, “go with the flow,” fully surrender and allow life to happen. This is how you wholly experience life conspiring in your favor.

If you open yourself to scarcity, the same will occur. Your focus will bring about the fullness of loss.

So instead, open yourself to life’s flow, trusting all will happen as it should, and you will experience life as intended.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, in conversations, speak less and listen more. Pay attention to the details of the moment without mentally labeling everything. Watch how the experience unfolds. You will begin to touch what the fullness of a moment can feel like.

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.
