The Teaching Leader

| The Tao Chapter 65 – My Fourth Interpretation|

The best teaching models that there is more to learn.

Enabling the learner to believe they have all of the answers hinders their journey.

Helping the learner to understand their knowing is limited supports their growth.

If you want to cultivate ignorance, project that you are omniscient. But if you choose to encourage life, reveal your true nature and your truth: you are a learner on a journey of growth not unlike the persons in front of you, next to you and behind you.

In doing so you lead, helping others to find their way.

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.
