Tao Te Ching: 68
The best athlete
wants his opponent at his best.
The best general
enters the mind of his enemy.
The best businessman
serves the communal good.
The best leader
follows the will of the people.
All of the embody
the virtue of non-competition.
Not that they don't love to compete,
but they do it in the spirit of play.
In this they are like children
and in harmony with the Tao.
Very cool verse here. It's so much easier to thrive when you are focusing on competing. There's clearly a great disadvantage to competing as you are assuming that we can't all win. When in reality, win-win situations are always possible.
Great post @weirdheadaches. I'd love to hear your thoughts on my recent post: This Is How My Unsettling New Year's Situation Set Me Free
Heading there now, great insight :)
Woow!
Honestly, the wisdom in this writeup is too deep; especially the first two lines that say "The best athlete
wants his opponent at his best.
The best general
enters the mind of his enemy"
From the ultimate depths. Ty, @damony
love the competition
