Life Lessons

AA said: Well said, this…"too much desire and rejection…" I’ve never seen these words paired in such a way! 

Life Lessons 

The Master's power is like this.
He lets all things come and go
effortlessly, without desire.
He never expects results;
thus he is never disappointed.
He is never disappointed;
thus his spirit never grows old.
                                 LaoziTao Te Ching

The old Taoist master Laozi so poetically puts into words what’s most essential in life:
  • Relax, and let Life take its course.
  • Accept what happens, without desiring one thing or resisting another.
  • Don’t expect results. Just do what has to be done, the best way you can.
      Living in such a way you will not constantly be disappointed, and you will stay open and fresh.  Growing old inside comes from always being tense, from too much desire and rejection, and from wanting something else than what Life has to offer.
