These are words sometimes I struggle to follow but I do believe in them. That’s where your power is”įinally a new blog post I know all my followers have been like dude get with it, bring us some wisdom!! Well here we go and inspired by this caption I saw on the positive coaching Facebook page. Living this way is indeed ‘having everything’ and ‘lacking nothing.“when you can’t control what’s happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what’s happening. Then you will be ‘given everything’ in the sense of finding love, harmony and flow, serenity, wisdom and inner peace. ‘Give everything up’ means give up judgments, complaining, fighting, being right, having to win, rigid thinking and selfish behaviour. Discarding ego as the dominant influence in our life and being kind, humble, compassionate, loving are all ways to ‘die and be reborn’. What’s wonderful is that it is possible to be reborn at any moment, simply by observing ego and controlling it. Rejecting ego is, to the ego, a form of death. ‘Let yourself die’ means allow yourself to discard your false sense of self, your ego, your pride, your self-importance. Those who already ‘know’ everything can’t be taught! Being ‘attached’ and ‘prejudiced’ are restrictions that stop anything entering an already filled self. Becoming ‘full’ means remaining open to all possibilities, being flexible, receptive, open, authentic. ‘Let yourself be empty means empty of ‘prejudices’, ‘conditioned beliefs’ and ego derived ‘attachments’ and ‘anxieties’. So ‘give everything up’ does not mean give all your possessions away. Yet they are profound and the key to inner peace.įirstly they are to do with the mind, not objects or ‘things’. These words, from verse 22 of the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu, appear, at first sight, to be meaningless, even contradictory.
