Follow that.Īnd let’s remind ourselves not to compare the path we’re taking. When I write, I feel like I’m merging with the Great Tao. We can only point them to their own inner GPS and let them navigate their own path.įor Dan, gymnastics is his small tao. We can only speak for ourselves which way is that for us. All the small tao (“the way”) merges with the Great Tao. The small tao merges with the Great Tao as many streams merge with a great river.Īll roads lead home – home to ourselves. To Each His OwnĮach path can become a way of life. We just have to listen to that guidance and pay attention to the signs appearing along the road. It doesn’t matter much whether that step will take us in the right direction or not because the GPS can always guide us in correcting our course. We just need to know where we want to go, input it into the GPS, and then the GPS maps out all possible routes to get there.īut of course, the car won’t move unless we actually put our foot on the pedal and step on it. The GPS know where our current location is. It knows all possibilities.Īnd each of us has that built-in guidance system, which acts like a GPS.

So when is the best time to have fun? Now! Have fun while you move toward what you want in your life. And most of the time, even if we got the result we wanted, we still end up unhappy. We associate the fun with the result, not with the process. The point is to have fun!īut often we miss the point. The point of playing the game is more than merely winning it. Remember our game plan in life? In The Joy Plan, we learned that the purpose of life is joy.

When you have no time for games, you have no time for life. The final leg of his journey ends up in Japan, where he realizes a great lesson of life – a lesson that has been hidden in plain sight.

I got schooled in creative writing 101 for free! The storyline was thought out well and the selection of words was impressive. – Dan Millmanīefore we plunge in, I first want to commend Dan Millman for his beautifully crafted writing. And live as if death is real, so that you can savor the precious opportunity that is life on planet Earth. Live as if you’re an independent individual, so you fully appreciate your innate worth and singular destiny. Live as if accidents happen, so you can stay vigilant. Live as if you make conscious choices, so you can take responsibility for them. So even in the midst of everyday life-as you do what you do according to all that has shaped you-you’d be wise to live as if time exists, so you can keep an organized calendar. Even in moments of elevated awareness, you’ll need to take out the trash and do the laundry.
