Don’t force anything
The Master does not force virtue on others, thus she is able to accomplish her task. The ordinary person who uses force, will find that they accomplish nothing.
Don't overburden yourself.
Those who stand on tiptoes do not stand firmly. Those who rush ahead don't get very far. Those who try to outshine others dim their own light.
Stop controlling the world.
Do you want to rule the world and control it? I don't think it can ever be done. The world is a sacred vessel and it can not be controlled. You will only make it worse if you try. It may slip through your fingers and disappear.
Enough is enough.
Those who know they have enough are truly wealthy.
Don't cling to life.
I have heard that those who celebrate life walk safely among the wild animals. When they go into battle, they remain unharmed.
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
