Mental Unrest or Peace

| The Tao Chapter 9 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Hoarding anything leads to waste.

Striving for the top will leave you defeated.

Chasing status and money creates an unending race.

Seeking approval will cause dissatisfaction with yourself.

Accomplish your work with joy and walk away when you are done because you’ve put forth your best. Then, every day, you can have peace.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, I invite you to reflect on the first, second and third interpretations along with this fourth and ask, are there any shifts you are prepared to make today in relation to aligning with the art of living as shared in the Tao?

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