Own Your Path

| The Tao Chapter 20 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Overthinking problems make them bigger than they are.

Shoulds and the standards of others become the measuring stick, but what difference do they make for your life?

Is their excitement yours?

Does their dullness become your own?

No.

So, let their possessions—physical and non-physical—be theirs alone, and own your true nature.

Be nurtured by your Source and walk your own path.

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.
