Show Up for the Extraordinary

| The Tao Chapter 17 – My Fifth Interpretation|

You can be a leader who is loved, feared or hated. It is up to you.

If you help people to feel valued, you’ll be loved.

If you contribute to the anxiousness of others, you’ll be feared.

If your presence generates suffering within others, you’ll be despised.

In a space where people are encouraged to shine, there in that space will be extraordinary accomplishments.

It all begins though, with how you show up as the leader.

LIVING THE TAO: How are people responding to you? Pay attention. With their actions, they are telling you who you are as a leader. Do you need to change?

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