Power Worthy of Promotion

| The Tao Chapter 3 – My Fourth Interpretation|

If you esteem another more powerful than yourself, then you have diminished your power.

If you live in want for the possessions of others, you forgo appreciating your own.

Do not boast of our possessions and status. You only stir others to strive for what is fleeting. Instead share of your wholeness and the ways you remain in harmony with your true nature. In this way you help others know themselves.

If there is any power or possession that is worthy of promotion, it is helping others know that their true power is already within.

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 yourself with life’s flow?

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.
