The True You

| The Tao Chapter 33 – My Second Interpretation |

It is good to seek to know others; this knowing show awareness beyond the self and compassion. It is better to master knowing yourself; in this knowing are wisdom and authentic power.

Wrap your mind with the heart-based knowing that you have everything you need. This knowing makes your life rich.

Steady your being in the purpose of your finite existence. This centering reminds you that the soul is eternal.

That is the true you.

LIVING THE TAO: Today at some point, stop what you are doing, close your eyes, breathe deeply then say to yourself, “my body will fade away; my soul is what is real.” Use that new energy to infuse meaning in your task. If the task is shallow, then why are you doing it?

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.
