Mindfulness, Ambition, Power

"Be Content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you"--Lao Tsu
.
In economics, it is known that human desires are infinite
.
Human beings... insatiable out of necessity
But also out of desperation
.
The most wanting are not necessarily those who have the least... But those who feel they have the most to gain
.
Ambition...the Great Father of Conquest and Domination
But also the Great Mother of Desire and Vanity
.
Desires always require sacrifice for attainment
.
Can you sacrifice your ambition for your desire of contentment? .
Is contentment a greater feeling than the satisfaction of accomplishment?
.
Allow the Dao and it's Creative Forces to flow through you
.
One no longer needs ambition, but humility and patience
.
The Master does not need to generate Power
The Master does not need to acquire Power
The Master only needs to conduct Power... As it moves only through and through
.
Be content with what comes and what goes
.
As all is transient .
Be One with the Eternal Dao
And One will never lackThe Mindful Warrior.jpg
