Sometimes you just have to listen to the Tao. Trust your instincts and know that everything will work out how it’s meant to.
I’ve been doing some reading on Taoism. I just finished Tao Te Ching and Don’t Just Sit There, DO NOTHING. I’m not saying I fully understand the philosophy by any means, but it has me reconsidering how I move through life.
What struck me about Taoism is this idea of effortless living. No matter what comes your way, any decision you have to make, any obstacle, you trust your subconscious and the Universe. The choices you make shouldn’t feel like a burden or have you questioning yourself. You move freely towards where you want to go and believe that everything will unfold how it’s meant to.
I’ve been trying to stop my ego from making decisions and overthinking every scenario. You can do this with the simplest decisions like what you’ll make for dinner to more complex like a job to pursue, relationships, and big life choices.
If something feels forced, it probably isn’t the thing to do. Everything is meant to flow. This doesn’t mean your life will be easy and without challenges, but if you trust your gut and listen to where the Universe is pulling you, you can know everything will work out.
So stop thinking so much and just trust. Trust the Tao and live more freely.
