Living the Wisdom of the Tao


Practice nonaction
Work without doing
Taste the tasteless.
Magnify the small, increase the few.
Reward bitterness with care.
See simplicity in the complicated.
Achieve greatness in little things.

Take on difficulties while they are still easy;
do great things while they are still small.
The sage does not attempt anything very big,
and thus achieves greatness.

If you agree too easily, you will be little trusted;
because the sage always confronts difficulties,
he never experiences them.

The wisdom of the Tao


Greatness can be achieved by the simpliest of gestures; a smile, a handshake, a kind word, a thought, a gift, a grattitude, an understanding, or simply; the act of being. Being a true friend or companion. Your greatest attributes will shine through in the smallest achievements. You must know, that YOU have the power and will to affect not only others, but yourself as well. Find within yourself, that which YOU seek to obtain; and use your best qualitites to help guide you through your path in life.
