Joy of Living

| The Tao Chapter 41 – My Third Interpretation|

One who is advanced in understanding our purposes and interconnectivity appreciates and aligns her thoughts, words and deeds with life’s flow. All others doubt or deny such things.

Yet those weaker in understanding deem themselves as wise. They strive, never really arriving. They struggle and create conflict, both inner and outer. They trust in what is tangible and laugh at the notion that what is intangible is real.

Nevertheless, your joy in life is found through surrender. It is by way of heart-centered thoughts, words and deeds that one aligns with life’s flow and experiences the joy of living.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, reflect on your tasks. Are you creating from a heart-centered place? If not, how can you readjust? Doing so will result in increased joy.

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