Victorious Surrender

| The Tao Chapter 40 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Your conception was in alignment with Life’s flow. Likewise, your formation and birth. They happened without your tinkering. They happened for your benefit.

Return to that flow—the one where you allow Life to happen for you.

Surrendering is the key that unlocks your ability to align with Life’s flow.

Allow your thoughts to settle and feel your direction. Move with confidence and you will see your doors open. You won’t need to force them. They will open. Life’s flow responds to your surrender.

So then, return to your original state of being—your conception–where you were completely in alignment with Life.

LIVING THE TAO: If you are tired or worn out from trying to make things happen, consider another way of being. Consider surrendering—not in defeat, but in victory. Your desires are born in your surrender.

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.
