Bite-sized thoughts to ruin your day.

“…therefore the full-grown man takes his stand upon the solid substance and not upon the mere husk.” — Lao Tzu

Why do you do what you do? For power? Contribution? Kindness? Morality? All such things are mere husks.

Ground yourself in your nature, it’s the only sustainable way… and probably the only real way to do any of those things aforementioned.


“…upon the fruit and not upon the flower.” — Lao Tzu

Results. Truth. Core.

Focus on the essence, not anything fancy around it… Forget achievements, forget recognition, forget success, forget ego.

Go straight for truth.


Please leave me one in-depth comment about what you think about this.
