Unique Is Not the Same

| The Tao Chapter 20 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Others may say yes, but you are free to say no.

Others may yearn to acquire possessions, but must you?

Others may measure up with the crowd, but you don’t have to.

Others may walk the path of the masses, but you are free to walk your own.

Who possesses your mind?

Who makes your choices?

Does unique resemble what is common?

You are unique. Own it.

LIVING THE TAO: Think of what you strive for. Is it truly what you desire or will it simply elevate your status? Does the process bring you joy? If not, re-evaluate your why.

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my fifth 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.
