Contentment in the Tao

Be Content with Contentment.  Just as the Tao has no ending, neither does contentment.  There is no beyond in contentment, one simply strives to achieve it.  Living simply is the best way. 
"Live simply so that others may simply live".  Holds special meaning in today's high consumption world.

Cultivate inner knowledge.  Take time daily for self reflection and/or for journaling.  Reflect on the positive and the negative, finding what to change, what to praise about one's self.

The pursuit of the Tao is not like the pursuit of information.  Learning is increased by effort everyday but growing in the Tao means decreasing effort.  It's all in the simplicity.

A person who does not strive intensely after life nor tangle with danger can preserve life well.  Teaching is stressful.  Learning to take time out to learn, practise and follow what you love and you will find that you cannot "burn out".

Care for others without being possessive.

Enlightenment comes from valuing what is small.  The Tao is in the details.

One who is established in the Way cannot be separated from it.  Just as a musician practises everyday to become better, so do the philosophies of the Way must be practised daily.  It isn't striving to be perfect but just striving, learning, growing each day in the Way.
