“Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power”; Lao Tzu said that, and it’s so true. So often we are concerned with others will think. Will they think I’m pretty enough in this outfit?; will they like my hairstyle?; can I get them on-board with this proposal? It takes a great deal of energy and strength to get others to jump up on our band wagon. One thing is for sure, we expend a good deal of energy and strength in that process.

But when we turn the looking glass inward we see a completely different picture. Instead of expending energy and strength, it is within that we find extra stores of it. There is nothing more convincing or beautiful than your authentic self. When we are who we are meant to be then things start falling into place. And for those things that do not fall into place … well we realize that there was really no place for them at all.

Let them go. – you know why you’re reading this today.
