Stop Trying to Be

The Tao Chapter 47 – My Interpretation

Don’t try to show compassion. Decide, and it will be so.

Don’t try to live in alignment with what your heart knows is right. Decide, and it will be so.

Decide and allow yourself to BE in every moment of existence.

The wise know this:

In trying, you are striving.

In being, you are.

As I read Stephen Mitchell’s translation of the Tao Te Ching daily, I reflect and document my interpretation with the intention of living the Tao.
