Seeking Fulfillment

| The Tao Chapter 44 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Do you know what you are striving for or for what  you seek?

Do you strive for approval or are you seeking to demonstrate your highest principles?

Do you strive to acquire more possessions, or are you seeking the truth leading to your joy?

Strive for success and your work will be without end. Seek to understand the lessons in failure and you will grow in achievements.

Seek for what endures rather than strive for what is temporal. This is the way of fulfillment.

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.
