Taoist Thoughts

“You must learn to see the world through your own eyes, not be taught to see it through the eyes of another.”

“When you're frustrated, take a deep breath, close your eyes, visualize a solution, exhale and let the feeling wash away.”

“To walk without a destination does not mean we have to walk with closed eyes.”

“Sometimes we need to close our eyes and listen in order to fully see.”

“Make decisions blindly. This means only with your eyes closed to biased influence, can you make reliable choices.”

“What a loss it is to travel a lifetime keeping your eye on your possessions while missing out on the beautiful views along the way”

“Close your eyes, breathe in, see your surroundings giving off energy, flowing into you. Feel the energy move through you. Rejuvenate.”

“Anger is a sudden blockage of energy flow. You can feel it building. Close your eyes, breathe slowly and see it radiate from you.”

“I visited the eye doctor today and my lens prescription was reduced. Apparently my vision is improving with age.”

“Your eyes do not see things, they only see the light reflected off things. There is more to the world than what your senses know.”

“The sage's vision is to see themselves through the eyes of their neighbor.”
