Rest in In Your True Nature

| The Tao Chapter 38 – My Third Interpretation|

The person who aligns their ways with life’s flow, is always complete.

There is no power to strive for nor is there any work left undone because there is nothing to do. She only needs to be. In being her true nature and fulfilling the work that finds her, she accomplishes what is to be done and is complete.

Busying oneself for power, status or wholeness is energy best used for uncovering your true nature. When this is done, you can rest in the peace that accompanies being no one but yourself.

Your worth never needs to be proven.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, be truthful as you confront yourself with this question: are you striving for power or working to prove your worth? If so, here is your truth: discover your true nature instead. When you do, there is never anything to prove to anyone. There is inner peace.

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my third 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.
