Modern Tao — 7 Ways To Be Happy Just The Way You Are

tao-taoism-lao-tzu

Taoism is one thing, and Modern Tao is another. However, the new and revolutionized meaning of Taoism lies on the same principles and is definitely something that change our lives for the better.

Do you know what Tao means? Or what type of path it follows?

It is often translated as ‘the way’ or ‘the path’, but the actual meaning is much deeper, as I will detail below.

The Concept Of Taoism (Wu-Wei) As A Backbone Of The Modern Tao

Lao Tzu is the creator of Taoism and the person who taught the Wu-Wei concept over the years. In a nutshell, the meaning of Wu-Wei is ‘no thing’, however it does not translate to doing nothing.

Instead, it means finding happiness and being spiritually fulfilled by simply following your own path and going with the flow of your own life entirely, as opposed to imitating others or their actions.

Lao Tzu has found the concept of Taoism years ago, when the civilization was not even close to what it is now.

However, his concept has been dramatically aligned to today’s standards and can definitely be applied to the tech-savvy, modern an fast-paced world.

Taoism In The Modern World — A Change You Must Bring

The truth is, no matter how the world advances in the future, the concept and fundamental aspect of Taoism will always be the same, following simple principles and puzzles of life.

In order to understand and, eventually, master Taoism, you will have to commit to these 7 principles:

1. You don’t have to know every answer now

Our life is a big piece of mystery, and that is the way it should sometimes stay. Just think about it — isn’t it more fun to find out some answers later in the story rather than too soon?

Or, in other words, isn’t it better to find out the answer at the right time?

Connecting your body and mind to analyze a definition in the right time, upon which you will discover a real purpose in your life, is an important Tao principle.

Until then, it’s up to you to live it to the fullest.

2. You have been accepted

Your true path begins now.

Fortunately, there will be no exams, credit checks or trick questions — it’s only you and your will to understand the principles of Taoism and accepting yourself as a creature starting from this moment, from the NOW.

3. There is no sense at all

Our nature is ever-changing and it will continue to be so. Just as it was years ago, it will still follow these principles in the future.

Therefore, resolving the contradictions in life should not be your practice. On the opposite, accepting them as tools for your future transformation is a key priority.

4. Let your energy change

We are all different creatures, ruled by different desires, goals or habits.  

That being said, every one of us should find their inner energy and practice rituals that reinforce it. That way, every moment will be fulfilled and brought to purpose.

Some people recharge their batteries in nature, while others through meditation.

However, energy is not a constant thing; it definitely needs a redirect and slight changes over time, until it fits with your personality and inner self.

5. Listen to your gut

Our spiritual selves play a big role when it comes to our gut feeling.

Staying in the flow according to Taoism is definitely based upon following your gut and instincts as the ultimate guides when things get too hectic.

Sharpening your intuition is what you need in order to make them perfect and stay in the flow in the best way possible.

6. Be perfectly imperfect

The real beauty of Taoism is that it teaches to cherish every moment as perfect, however imperfect it may be.

Perfectionists would benefit from Tao especially, as the discipline encourages us to accept things as they are and find beauty and peace in every moment and situation.

7. Take a course in Tao

There are many courses about Taoism. And, in reality, they will bring a radical change in your life if you think that this concept can make you a better person and help you evolve spiritually.

Applying the concepts of Tao will lead to an enlightened life, because you will accept the world as it is and cherish every given situation.

Equally importantly, you will also help those around you with your positive vision of the world and share with them the benefits of your inner peace.
