Lesson 257

In your repose you will be wise; in your movements, powerful.

Excerpt

In your repose you will be wise; in your movements, powerful. By inaction you will gain honour; and by confining yourself to the pure and simple, you will hinder the whole world from struggling with you for show.

Today, with someone you would like to correct or direct, try instead to welcome them with kindness and let them find their own way.
