“Cravings” by Unknown
Oh Wanting, Wishing, CRAVING One!
I was reading my favorite copy of the Tao Te Ching last night…
And I wanted to share a short verse with you
It’s on “Tempering”
and it applies to cravings, excess, and the path to contentment
Verse 3 of The Tao Te Ching – Tempering
Overpraising the gifted
leads to contentiousness.
Overvaluing the precious
invites stealing.
Craving the desirable
loses contentment.
The natural person
desires without craving
and acts without excess.
By not doing,
everything is done.

If you feel so inclined take a moment to ponder this idea…
And consider this:
When our physical, emotional and spiritual needs are unfulfilled, we develop desperate cravings because we are starved.
So… What can you do to ensure you needs are being fulfilled?
It may take a new way of looking at things…
to find the answer that’s right for you.
I’d love to know what you come up with – feel free to share your insights below ;)
Or if you need a little help, finding a new perspective…
You KNOW I’m here for you!
Love and Light,
Colette
