Strive Less, Accomplish More

| The Tao Chapter 37 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Life’s flow, like the waves of an ocean, does not set its hands to work, yet it accomplishes much.

Imagine if we all positioned ourselves in the direction of our current. What would happen if humankind surrendered to life’s flow? What would happen if you surrendered?

You would desire less and accomplish more. Desire less because once in flow, being carried by the current negates the need to strive. Accomplish more because being carried by the current moves you in the direction of your destination—your destiny.

When you surrender there is less struggle and more peace.

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.
