“Teachings of the Philosopher Lao Tzu”

I came across and began reading some quotes by the great philosopher Lao Tzu, which in turn had me reading some of those rather ancient texts… I love this one , “ Stop Leaving and you will Arrive” , well to me that means stop running away from problems or obstacles that are in your way, you’ll just take them with you to that different destination. “Stop Searching and you Will See” well that one in my opinion means with everybody chasing a perceived happiness that doesn’t really exist, but if you quiet your thoughts, and look around you, everything that truly matters in your life is already yours. Enjoy it, Cherish it, and don’t waste energy chasing a dream that’s defined by society, not God or yourself. “Stop Running away and you will be Found” Well that one is straight forward, IMO, instead of running away from everyone and everything that you think that are the cause of your problems, stop, find your space and your place and your peace and. no amount of outside noise will be able stop you from finding your path. Take responsibility, and accountability for your life and actions, because that’s who you’ll be, on the right path. Just get the hell out of your own way:)
