Temperance is Essential

| The Tao Chapter 64 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Stay centered in humility so you can grow with honor.

Admit your error so you can advance efficiently.

Out the flames of trouble before they cause destruction.

Listen first to act with understanding.

Hold back from forcing so the circumstance can fully mature.

Let things take their natural course.

Allow people to be who they are.

Maintain your focus on your centeredness to make your state a mind of calm.

Temperance is essential to living with minimal discord.

LIVING THE TAO: Are you a calm person or do you tend to worry and fret? Relieve yourself of self-induced discord and practice having a calm mind. Use breath, meditation, prayer, or the method that works for you to begin and/or maintain this practice.

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.
