Tao Te Chingby Parker on TwosThe supreme good is like water, which, nourishes all things without trying to.In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will be blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner.Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.
