Step Back to Lead

| The Tao Chapter 75 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Oppression makes the oppressed feel weak. Dominance depresses the spirit of the dominated.

Your way, your ideas, the way you see things: is this how you choose to lead? To weaken and depress?

Choose to use your influence to lift others up. Inspire, encourage and guide then step back to allow others to flourish.

LIVING THE TAO: Do you feel like you are constantly combatting others or in defense mode to move a situation forward? Do you wonder, why the other person behaves as s/he does? They are not in the dilemma alone. You are there as well. Have you examined your behavior?

In 2018 my focus was to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. Now I continue into 2019 with my fifth reading. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
