Personal Mastery--A Taoist Approach

Many Paths, Many Ways, One Source...

"Excellence is being willing to be wrong; perfection is needing to be right." B.M Massie 1996


Taoism has always intrigued me. It's a gentle, yet tough path. Will it move you? Or repulse you? Let's see what the Master says...

• Knowing nothing: I do not have your answers.
• Teaching nothing: I only help you self-discover.
• Preaching nothing: We each find our own 'right' and 'wrong.'
• Controlling nothing: The future is unpredictable; I choose.
• Controlling no one: You and I are free.
• No resistance: I will not 'should' on you or question your rebellion.
• No credit: No praise, no strings attached.
• No struggle: I am simply here to help.
• No blame: Self, or others.
• No anxiety: Contentment. Satisfaction. Fearlessness.
• No urgency: Slowing down.

Build or tear down. Seek or withdraw. Love or hate. It is always your choice. And everything has its consequence.
