Stop Measuring Up

| The Tao Chapter 19 – My Second Interpretation |

Without concepts to measure up to, how would man be?

If we weren’t judged for not being holy, would man sin and hide?

If we weren’t told to be just with the opportunities to be unjust, would man behave morally?

If we weren’t encouraged to strive for things and status, would we have theft and corruption?

What would happen if our only goal was to stay connected to our true Source in every moment.

The only construct that matters is the truth that existed before time.

You are here to remember who you are, not accumulate things and status. Focus on your true work.

Remember.

LIVING THE TAO: Today when you feel yourself trying to measure up to an ideal, pause, take a deep breath and ask your inner self, “What is the truth about the flow of life?” Ground yourself in the answer, and go with that.

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