Master of Living

| The Tao Chapter 81 – My Fourth Interpretation|

What need is there to prove your value? Your worth speaks for you and that is all that is required. Otherwise, you increase your suffering.

Why collect things for the sake of boasting? Better you do well for others and save yourself from the worry of keeping your things.

What benefit is there in controlling? Do your portion then let go. Otherwise, you invite stress.

Know who you are, do well for others and allow life to unfold. This is the way to master the art of living.

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.
