Return to Authenticity

| The Tao Chapter 19 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Remove the judgement of who is holier than whom.
Remove the stigma of shoulds and fear-based expectations.
Remove the pressures to perform and produce.
If these three could be removed, people would be happier, more honest, and more of who they really are.

Allow others to live as their authentic selves and let life flow in its natural course so that a beingness of calm can be the reward.

A return to simplicity brings peace to hearts and minds.

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.
