Generate Innovation

| The Tao Chapter 76 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Brittleness is a reflection of lifelessness, such as a leaf that has fallen from its tree.

Suppleness is a reflection of life, such as the skin of a newborn.

Brittle thoughts, stiff and inflexible, contribute to a lifeless environment. Flexibility and openness in thoughts generate life and innovation.

If growth is what you seek, yield to allow life. Otherwise, staleness and lifelessness will be your reward.

LIVING THE TAO: Are you closed off from the perspectives of others. When ideas don’t match your own, do you immediately shut them out? Are you thriving or choking as you hold close to only your perspective? As you reflect on your responses, also consider today’s Tao inspiration.

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.
