🧘‍♂️**Lessons of Dao**🧘‍♀️ **Acting like water**💧 **"Wise is he who does not try to shine; he just shines." - "Dao De Jing," Chapter 22.** 🌟 Water, according to the teachings of Dao, symbolizes "effective virtue" - a beautiful illustration of active passivity (corresponding to yin). It teaches us that attempts to resolve conflicts or dead-end situations through force or rigid opposition often prove futile and drain us of vital energy. They weaken us, creating an illusion of control. Acting like water means attaining inner peace and examining the problem from all angles, much like water flows around obstacles. This helps delay action and find unconventional solutions or tools for problem-solving. Or it might involve stepping back and evaluating the validity of our goals and the means we've chosen to achieve them. Like water, calmly and persistently paving its way, reaching its goal effortlessly. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ **"Serving as an example, the wise maintain unity and become a source of inspiration for all. They do not proclaim themselves, and therefore they have merit." - "Dao De Jing," Chapter 22. **🌞 Maintaining unity means embracing the natural opposites within our consciousness: yin and yang, action and inaction, shadow and light... By accepting the duality of their nature, individuals no longer deceive themselves or judge others. Their balance positively influences those around them, and their kindness strengthens others' self-confidence. 🤝❤️ **"Instead of filling to the brim, it is better to stop in time." - "Dao De Jing," Chapter 9.** 🔥 The sacred fire is a metaphor for living energy, or Qi, which is the life force. All Daoist practices—meditation, breathwork, dietary principles—serve to maintain equilibrium as both the goal and the means to a fulfilling life. Excesses cause a person to wither and extinguish their sacred fire, which they once tended. Identifying excesses—whether in the material realm, emotionally, or in relationships—and then reducing them to a level where we expend no more energy than necessary is an essential prerequisite for anyone seeking a long and peaceful life. 🕊️ #Psychology @Motivation
