Shift Your Perspective

| The Tao Chapter 16 – My Fourth Interpretation|

You have thoughts that repeatedly visit your mind. Vacate that place so their visits cease, as that cycle only serves to disrupt your peace. When you can see that most thoughts are noise and distractions, the origin of your troubles become clear.

But it is through understanding your own origin—our collective Source—that you can know peace.

Let go of the darkness—depression, confusion, anger, fear. Embrace your light—love, compassion, tolerance, courage. How? By prioritizing your connection to your Source, regularly…daily…moment to moment.

With this perspective, the world amuses you. With this perspective, your thoughts are easily settled. With this perspective, you can deal with whatever life puts before you with ease and grace.

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.
