Plans and Intuition

| The Tao Chapter 27 – My Fourth Interpretation|

It is good to create goals that guide your steps. It is better to lay them down for surrendering to providential guidance.

Establishing plans, lists and guideposts are good starts. Following your intuition is the better end.

Openness to the journey frees your mind to see that nothing is a waste or coincidence, but that all events are opportunities.

The point: be clear in your intentions—the what—but detach your expectations from the process—the how.

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.
