It is not for you to fight against life. It is for you to work with life. Life is not out to get you. Life is out to soar with you. Even with little matters, go along with life. When you feel sleepy, sleep.
In terms of life, there is no saying: “I should.” There is no saying: “I should be wide-awake. I should not be sleepy.” Be in accord with life.
How many times a day do you perhaps say, “I should,” or how many times a day do you perhaps say, “I should not.” You are not some kind of reformation leader. You are not an opposer to life. Go along with it. Avoid being an oppositionist.
And when you are wide awake, it is not necessary to say: “I should be sleepy.”
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
~Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu – or Laozi (6th century BCE) was a philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching (often simply referred to as Laozi). He is considered the founder of philosophical Taoism (pronounced as “Daoism”).
