De World Have a Start Point
Original
塞其兑,闭其门,终身不勤。开其兑,济其事,终身不救。
见小曰明,守柔曰强。用其光,复归其明,无遗身殃,是为习常。

I use fi feel like I haffi chase everytng, mek sure I get every opportunity, neva stop, always doing something. But dis chapter show me say sometimes di best move is fi close de door, stop up de gap, and go back to di source of everytng. When I feel overwhelmed, maybe is time fi stop running and hold ontu somethng deeper.

Today, try find some quiet time. Stop de noise, close off de distraction weh draw you dis way and dat. Sit down and feel de stillness weh deh undaneverytng. See de small tings - di gentle movements, di quiet changes. Stay soft inna your spirit, no get hard and rigid. Mek dis regular practice and watch how life start flow more easy.
