One who makes promises lightly (夫輕諾)
must deserve little trust (必寡信)

Turn away from it - and walk the solid ground of trust.

📖 Excerpted from *"Tao Te Ching: Annotated & Explained"* by Derek Lin.

Be smarter everyday by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love and always remember... YOU are the medicine. - Maria Sabina, curandera

Make it a habit to talk about blessings more than burdens. When you spread positivity, the Universe blesses you with even more blessings. Close the window that triggers you, no matter how captivating it is. Be disciplined about what you entertain. Where focus goes, energy flows.
