What If We Stop Shoulding On Others


Dear Friend,

 

When I catch myself starting to post on social media (and unfortunately, it’s sometimes after the fact) about what others should do, what they should stop doing, or why they are wrong, I reflect on this wisdom of Lao Tzu: 


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.

 

Imagine if we all focused on doing exactly that. It was so freeing when I realized transformation is a journey, a series of shedding old skin, not a one-and-done. I could exhale and take one tiny, self-loving step at a time. 

 

I hope you’ll join me—or continue—on your own transformational pilgrimage and let me know how it is unfolding!

 

With gratitude,

Amy
