Chapter 24 Tao Te Ching - Learning to accept compliments without pride or ego using gratitude!
In the 24th Chapter of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu discusses how the natural flow of the Tao operates: It asks nothing of you as it provides everyone with unlimited supplies of food, air, water, sunshine, land, and beauty. It is always creating for the benefit of all, and it has no need for prideful boasting or demanding something in return. The journey of your life will change when you emphasize gratitude for all that you are, all that you accomplish, and all that you receive. – Wayne Dyer Here is a link to an online version of the Tao Te Ching that we use in every meeting; https://ttc.tasuki.org/display:Year:1972,1988,1996,2004/section:24 Would you like to receive a free daily topic email with the most popular AA resources, accompanied by a secret Facebook group for discussion?
