"In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired.
In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.
Less and less is done
Until non-action is achieved.
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
The world is ruled by letting things take their course.
It cannot be ruled by interfering."
48th Verse of the Tao Te Ching
It's funny how one day I am thinking of the steps to success and the next a verse from the Tao Te Ching pops in my head.
Do nothing and nothing will be left undone? Come on? Really? I have to be doing something to get somewhere right?
Perhaps what Lao Tzu is referring to is our need to control all the steps in our life with worry or some sort of order to get you somewhere.
Perhaps he means take the steps but observe the outcome of your steps with no judgement or criticism.
Health and Happiness!
