The Is Room to Bloom

| The Tao Chapter 79 – My Fourth Interpretation|

A beautiful element in this life is the ability to learn.

Whether in a formal room or the classroom of life, you make the choice to accept this: there is room to bloom.

With hubris success can be your foe, but with humility failure can be your friend.

The courageous embraces the friend without blame, shame or judgment. Firmly hold failure’s hand and allow it to guide you onward.

Be on a path of learning, and from the darkness of failure, bloom.

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.
