3 Thoughts from my Taoism Teacher
Don’t Stop Learning
Don’t Stop Learning
It’s important to remember as you begin to share your previous stories, don’t forget to keep writing yours! In other words, don’t stop learning and growing in your life because you’re consumed with sharing your wisdom with others.
I’m a member of a group called Wayfinders.Global, an online community of Taoists and thinkers. There are over 3,000 members, and the website has fun and interesting discussions. There is a meeting or gathering every day of the week, led by George Thompson or community members.
George is the person I’ve learned the most about Taoism on my journey, and I wanted to share some wisdom he passed on today.
The great teachers of history all taught, “know thyself.” They promised that we gained wisdom when we understood who we were. And with wisdom, we find peace.
The message society gives us is that you’ve got to work hard to be valuable. To be ordinary is to be insufficient.
Without knowing who we are, we exhaust ourselves chasing things that don’t matter. And a planet full of exhausted humans is an exhausted planet.
I love how his writing can be so short and simple yet impactful. I hope you join the community there, as it’s been my home for a few years.
That’s all for today!
