I was striving to be with a girl I loved for years, we'd been on and off for a while, and it put me in a very depressed state of mind. Then she hooked up with my friend in front of me and it just occurred to me "oh, she's just gonna be like that." I initially was very angry, then I realized it was just her nature, and I finally let go after 4 years. I literally met my wife the next day. Life's weird, shit happens, sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing.
I am autistic and suffered a violent father, years of school bullies, aggression from my Mum's boyfriend, and years of disturbance from my drunken violent neighbour whose outbursts and destruction brought back memories of my Dad. I learned the power of forgiveness, and when I forgave them I let go of them mentally, and I found in turn that they let go of me.
That’s huge. We all need to learn to forgive and let go. I’m still a work in progress, but at least I’ve identified one of the most important things about myself... Thanks for sharing ur experience with us 🙏 Best of luck to u! ❤️❤️❤️
You know, "you see it all around you - good lovin' gone bad...so hold on loosely, but don't let go. If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control"...
As a kid i got cancer. Realising there is no point in stressing out, i focussed on the things i could still do. To the point sitting in the garden, enjoying the sun and the company of my dog was all i had. Staying calm kept me strong in a way. In the eyes of my parents, being mentally able to keep calm was the thing what helped me through all the hard times. Me too like to see it that way, but i also believe a shitload of luck was needed ;)

I'm 60, I've been in therapy for 5 years now, and this, this opened my eyes. Sadly, I've been fighting the wrong battle and doing everything I could do, so I did not let go. I wrote songs, I made mental images, I did everything I could possibly think of doing, just so I would never let go, of the feeling. With the help from my doctors, I was able to stop the medication, to see if this would help me focus, I was so afraid of letting go because if I let go, she would be lost forever. I wish I would have let go, letting go was the problem, I was the problem. Today, is the 1st day of letting go! Thank you!
Respect to you for your hard work, sir. Your comment made me realize why I always envision my mom beating me on my birthday in front of all my friends ; if I stop and let it go - I THOUGHT it meant all my feelings were invalid. If I can let go of it my feelings weren’t that important then. No. BECAUSE my feelings are real and valid is WHY I need to let it go.
Feelings are real but we tend to let them consume us when all we need to do is let go. Best of luck to everyone on their journey! Remember it’s just the battle and not the war.
I've learned a long time ago about letting go. It is always a pleasant surprise when you let go and receive what you want but even if it never materializes it is still the same. We go with the flow, and accept the reality be it good or bad. Not stressing over life is truly living. Have a great life everyone.
doesn't mean you cannot be or should not be content. Bless the pain, it cannot be forever and it is not everything. know what have been carrying you all the way through life, through career, through experience.
Question is, how much influence do I have on the flow of life / make things happen? At which point am I forcing life vs taking action to achieve what I want?
You can't let go and desire at the same time, it's an oxymoron. If you let go then you don't desire, if you desire, you didn't let go. And Taoism has nothing to do with LOA and that other stuff
After spending years studying western philosophy, the ancients of Rome and Greece, I achieved a lot in my philosophical practices, but never found that sensation of zen and tranquility that I was always looking for. I achieved a lot, but the quality wasn't the best and I found myself exhausting and stressing myself to write more, write better, improve myself in the gym, find better friendships and relationships, in a sense, I was running into nowhere. When I switched to Eastern philosophical ideals, started to let go, did not force but allowed things to happen as they please, trusted the natural order of things, my writing improved exponentially like a bomb going off, my gym habits were practically set in stone, I found myself connecting to people with good hearts rather than ambitious minds, and though the relationship aspect is null, I've discovered what I truly need in a person. Everything changed in my life for the better and I would 10/10 recommend eastern philosophy as a course of life rather than most aspects of western. Thanks for these uploads! It's teaching me a lot!
It's quite glorious when you see that the western and eastern philosophies is actually precisely Ying and Yang. The western philosophy of picking up and the eastern of letting go.
These videos are so therapeutic after suffering heartbreak, rejection and regret from the past. Keep feeling like everything is my fault and I don't deserve to live. Thanks.
Admiral Ackbar making mistakes and suffering are part of our spiritual growing. We all go through difficult situation that are there to teach us, not to punish us. Let go of blaming yourself for being human....learn with your mistakes and live.
I'm going through a heartbreak. The worst I've ever been through. Why? As a child, we are attached to our mother, then later we begin this attachment to a lover. Bottom line - it stems from childhood. I think Buddhism stresses not to be attached to anyone or anything. This is starting to make since. This was my lesson. Next time I will love and be sure to receive it. To love and keep my independence. To make sure what I give is reciprocated. They say love is blind....my eyes are wide open now. I will never be blinded with emotion again. Lesson learned.
Judi Lopez I disagree. Love itself is a beautiful feeling and connects us to a core part of ourselves. To fall in love is a wonderful experience and astonishing breathtaking parts of us can be revealed when we fall in love. Holding on to someone who has gone isn’t love, though. That’s need, hurt, fear. Our emotions tell us we may need to grieve, to love ourselves, to heal. The existence of pain isn’t a bad thing, it’s a sign we may need something we are not receiving, or to heal from a loss we may have gone through.
It reminds me of the serenity prayer. "God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen."
I kinda learned this naturally. I kept telling myself I had to escape my 9 to 5 job and worked all my free time away never achieving anything. Instead, I threw this mentality away, did my best at work and it became more enjoyable and I don't feel like I have to "escape" my job anymore. Now I can enjoy my free time and spend more time with my family. Maybe I will never be rich but my job provides us with all we have and that's enough.
Mediocrity acceptance? You've cursed yourself. No harm in honing a new skill and relax at the same time. Many years until death ma brother. 1% wins will sum up eventually.
These things must be taught right from our schools or college time..so that people can live their life more peacefully,consiously and most importantly handle difficult situations,understanding Life and it's purpose and going with flow state...
Crazy how you practise these principles even without KNOWING IT. I personally am the kind of person who feels the need to control everything inorder to get the best results and protect me and my loved ones. But too much of it, ruined my peace of mind. I wasnt getting results, and i just seemed to drain my own energy. Thats when i got so tired, i let go. I was gradually following this principle even without knowing it. I now go with the flow, do whats necessary but dont force things to happen. I accept whatever comes my way as long as i know ive done my part. I trust the universe and still do good, but within my capacity.
"80 per cent of happiness is a roof over one's head, three meals a day, and a solid, daily shit." Advice from an old fellow, somewhere in a village in Cambridgeshire, UK, around the summer of 2015.
Surely no one can disagree with this. The problem comes when people have to struggle to keep the roof over their heads. Then they don't really have time to self-reflect.
Listening to this has given me more insight into spirituality than sitting in a church pew for 20 years. Not that that's wrong or bad, but I feel these words give my soul life
I've been holding on to a very hurtful situation for over 3 months now, I believed that letting go would hurt more than what I was going through while holding on. It hasn't even been 3 days since I decided to let go wholeheartedly and suddenly, I started receiving money I'd been waiting for. Opportunities that I thought were not meant to happen suddenly came chasing after me. Letting go is life-changing! It's just the courage to let go that we lack to our great detriment.

One of my favorite films (both as a child and as an adult) is the 1978 version of Watership Down. One of my favorite quotes from that film that kept coming back to me during this lecture is “there will be no bargain. What is, is what must be.” Seems fitting to learning to let go if you ask me.
Life happens FOR you, not TO you. As I'm getting old, i feel closer to God or Higher Power who created this world for us and it's up to us to take care of it.
What changes happened to allowed you to align yourself with such a way? Any particular virtues that grew in you, like patience, dettachment, care? Did it come from introspection, experience, both or neither?

This has just been one day and I've begun the process of changing my mind and the way I think about situations. Thank you.
All I know once you start getting older..you definitely start learning real quick the power of letting go. Also this phrase has helped me a lot with control issues and that phrase is.." and I'm ok with that" after some dumb sh*t happens.

i love how he mentioned, "the last one for now is.." because there is so much more, to taoism than we see and we have so many more things to unfold and learn from.
If it is the logics someone wants, how about ruling by liberation instead of regulation? Following the balance and rhythm of nature instead of self-imposing?
The more important and financially off your are, the more others depend on you. More expectations to fulfill, more personal desires, and more fake people trying to get that power and resources from you. In the end when you achieve you dreams in terms of abundance and material, you realize that all that stuff rests on a gaping hole that you have no genuine person to share with. It becomes useless and lifeless, and that in itself will cause depression, drinking, and drug abuse. I suspect this is why it is so persistent in the "well off" world. Because chasing that approval from others by overachieving in the end does not bring it, and even if it does you're getting nothing out of that approval other than "redemption" you created in your head that was cause by jealousy and rage. Maybe becoming successful by doing what you love without expecting wealth is the key to abundant happiness. Chasing abundance with brute force by tolerating hardship of wasting you life doing what you hate usually results in bad things.

I waited for this for sometime, as many of us probably did, hoping that one day she would come back and we’d find each other again. Once she did come back one day I found us on two separate pages of life, no longer in synchronicity, and I stepped away from her. This was the girl next door, my first true love. It’s not as glamorous as it may seem. People grow apart though. In doing so we free ourselves. Hope this may help someone that feels empty because of a loss like this. Happiness comes from within.
This video just put me one step closer to getting over this girl. Letting things flow as they should is the best and more natural way. Just like when you meet a person and it feels effortless since the beginning, it was natural. I’m still working on letting go of things and attachments. Either way the only thing you can truly control is yourself, you’ll never be right for the wrong person
It all only makes sense, we cannot force what we cannot control. I’m starting to understand that now after going through a lot in my life. Once you ‘let go’ all that is natural sets in. Life finally gives you peace like the branches that are blocked by the wall, it grows around it and not forcefully through it. It took me a very long time to grasp such a simple yet understandable concept of ‘flow’. For me now that soon I am going to move away somewhere I can finally transition into what I was meant to become like the branches that grow around the wall rather than through it. I can finally be at peace with myself and start to love myself. ✌🏼 ☮️
Great video! I love the concept of letting go and embracing the natural flow of life. Taoism is such a beautiful philosophy that reminds us to stop fighting against the current and instead, learn to move with it. As Lao Tzu said, "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." Letting go can be tough, but it can also be incredibly liberating. Here's to embracing the flow and letting go of what no longer serves us!
So if someone were to come up to you and attack you and try to kill you, you wouldn’t resist and defend yourself to survive and live? You would just go with the flow and let that person kill you?
Redrustyhill Hell no. Stand up to injustice with all your might. I think the point is that you do your best and then deep inside let go of the outcome. Put forth all effort and then trust the universe.
I love how beautifully deep this philosophy is. I'm listening to this at work today. My father was really into toasim but I never had the pleasure to learn about it from him
Not really. It depends of the level of losses bearable. Losing too much might reach the point of no return. But strategically losing to gain more afterwards, thats smart.
Because in the West, we are indoctrinated, brainwashed or simply conditioned, to think in a certain way from the day we are born. Of course, the West also has an ongoing dislike of things 'oriental.' "Our way is better" when in actual fact it isn't. The oriental ways are far better! It just takes some adapting. (OK, a LOT of adapting, but what else is life about, if not learning?)
A beautifully made video in every way. Thank you so much. I fell in love with Taoism 55 years ago, and I still need to learn more and more. Or learn over and over. Or resonate, reinforce, and cement. Cement the lesson of not cementing.
"𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨." - 𝐑𝐮𝐦𝐢 Balance is the crux of life. Everything in life is in perfect balance and harmony. The night balances the day, the good balances the bad and so on. Even in atoms that are the very building blocks of the physical universe, there exists a positive charge (protons) that is balanced by the negative charge (electrons). In this quote, Rumi is right in saying that life is a balance between letting go and holding on. There is a time to hold on and then there comes a time to let go and release. The very act of releasing is powerful - it leads to healing, it helps recharge your energy and put things into perspective. In-fact, most of the times these things happen naturally. When you become tired of holding on, you naturally have a tendency to let go. When you let go, all that energy that got drained from you while holding on starts to replenish. You start to feel renewed to the point where you get encouraged to take action again. In this way, letting go helps you gain clarity so you can pursue things that really matter. So do not feel guilty to let go for that is inevitable and for the greater good. PS: Letting go is NOT the same as giving up.
"Persist on letting go of the things that are attachments in your life.(karma) used in buddhism. Letting go is another form of liberation from one's past demons that holds an individual back from being great in life, or even finding out how great of a person you can be, and possibly how great your life can become." Be strong and let go. God bless to everyone who reads this.
a good way to live for someone like me that has been overwhelmed with anxiety.... thanks for providing such a great explanation of taoism. i need to read my book "the tao of pooh" again....
Also, I love how in quarantine we are basically forced to "practice" Taoism and Buddhism and we act like it's a bad thing. It just goes to show how desperate we are to always run away and never keep still and silent.
This is why quarantine has been an absolute breeze for me! Life has gone on as per normal for me... don’t know what the fuss is about. I hope 🤞 that all this time later you are safe and doing well. ❤️
Please keep making more Taosit videos. I'm bipolar and gives me perspectives where I can feel healing is taking place within me. It's a very healthy philosophy.
Not giving a fuck, not trying hard, having faith... or like when you were learning to swim you just don't wiggle around but just let water pressure hold you and you balance yourself...
relationships I know you are and life is just choice it nothing trust is important but I learn at the end darkness though is important it no mean to say dark though and evil idea is part life end show you world fuck it
I'm here to find strength to face a situation in my life that's out of my control, but that could actually turn my upside down to the worst when it will happen and i cannot stop panicking/mourning the life I'm going to lose. I hope i face with grace and dignity whatever comes to pass.
@@siadawn The general rule for use of the military is that it is better to keep a nation intact than to destroy it. It is better to keep an army intact than to destroy it, better to keep a division intact than to destroy it, better to keep a battalion intact than to destroy it, better to keep a unit intact than to destroy it. -Sun Tzu Though I cannot truly give you an answer since it will vary from situation to situation
partially agree, think you have to be aware of your weaknesses and either let them go, or passively upgrade them (so that YOU can concentrate back on your strengths) without making a big song and dance about it.
..."prevent possessions from becoming our prison cell which allows us to travel light"... very true. Having let go is why I am now able to walk so lightly. Thankyou.
We (human) are so addicted to "Re-Action". We must do something to change the outcome, to be a good person, to help others, to show I am worthy, etc. Lao Tzu is Brilliant !!! Thank you Thank you.
I am learning to let go. My ex and I stated now is not the best time to discuss rather we can be together again or not and it is stressful and she does not want it. I am learning to let go.

Everything changed in my life for the better and I would 10/10 recommend eastern philosophy as a course of life rather than most aspects of western. Thanks for these uploads! It's teaching me a lot!
Thanks Jake!
I have no doubt that someone as deep and self reflective as you will have no problems in the relationship space going forward ❤️♥️
It's quite glorious when you see that the western and eastern philosophies is actually precisely Ying and Yang. The western philosophy of picking up and the eastern of letting go.

Admiral Ackbar making mistakes and suffering are part of our spiritual growing. We all go through difficult situation that are there to teach us, not to punish us. Let go of blaming yourself for being human....learn with your mistakes and live.
I'm going through a heartbreak. The worst I've ever been through. Why? As a child, we are attached to our mother, then later we begin this attachment to a lover. Bottom line - it stems from childhood. I think Buddhism stresses not to be attached to anyone or anything. This is starting to make since. This was my lesson. Next time I will love and be sure to receive it. To love and keep my independence. To make sure what I give is reciprocated. They say love is blind....my eyes are wide open now. I will never be blinded with emotion again. Lesson learned.

I disagree. Love itself is a beautiful feeling and connects us to a core part of ourselves. To fall in love is a wonderful experience and astonishing breathtaking parts of us can be revealed when we fall in love.
Holding on to someone who has gone isn’t love, though. That’s need, hurt, fear. Our emotions tell us we may need to grieve, to love ourselves, to heal. The existence of pain isn’t a bad thing, it’s a sign we may need something we are not receiving, or to heal from a loss we may have gone through.
U good . Stay positive and be thankful you’re still here. Much love
It reminds me of the serenity prayer. "God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen."
If you resist, it will persists.
If you look at it, it will disappear.

I kinda learned this naturally. I kept telling myself I had to escape my 9 to 5 job and worked all my free time away never achieving anything. Instead, I threw this mentality away, did my best at work and it became more enjoyable and I don't feel like I have to "escape" my job anymore. Now I can enjoy my free time and spend more time with my family. Maybe I will never be rich but my job provides us with all we have and that's enough.

Crazy how you practise these principles even without KNOWING IT.
I personally am the kind of person who feels the need to control everything inorder to get the best results and protect me and my loved ones.
But too much of it, ruined my peace of mind. I wasnt getting results, and i just seemed to drain my own energy.
Thats when i got so tired, i let go.
I was gradually following this principle even without knowing it. I now go with the flow, do whats necessary but dont force things to happen. I accept whatever comes my way as long as i know ive done my part. I trust the universe and still do good, but within my capacity.

高处不胜寒
The more important and financially off your are, the more others depend on you. More expectations to fulfill, more personal desires, and more fake people trying to get that power and resources from you. In the end when you achieve you dreams in terms of abundance and material, you realize that all that stuff rests on a gaping hole that you have no genuine person to share with. It becomes useless and lifeless, and that in itself will cause depression, drinking, and drug abuse. I suspect this is why it is so persistent in the "well off" world. Because chasing that approval from others by overachieving in the end does not bring it, and even if it does you're getting nothing out of that approval other than "redemption" you created in your head that was cause by jealousy and rage. Maybe becoming successful by doing what you love without expecting wealth is the key to abundant happiness. Chasing abundance with brute force by tolerating hardship of wasting you life doing what you hate usually results in bad things.
Is that good or bad?? Catching all the wind...

I waited for this for sometime, as many of us probably did, hoping that one day she would come back and we’d find each other again. Once she did come back one day I found us on two separate pages of life, no longer in synchronicity, and I stepped away from her. This was the girl next door, my first true love. It’s not as glamorous as it may seem. People grow apart though. In doing so we free ourselves. Hope this may help someone that feels empty because of a loss like this. Happiness comes from within.

Mmm...always! Love it!
This video just put me one step closer to getting over this girl. Letting things flow as they should is the best and more natural way. Just like when you meet a person and it feels effortless since the beginning, it was natural. I’m still working on letting go of things and attachments. Either way the only thing you can truly control is yourself, you’ll never be right for the wrong person
It all only makes sense, we cannot force what we cannot control. I’m starting to understand that now after going through a lot in my life. Once you ‘let go’ all that is natural sets in. Life finally gives you peace like the branches that are blocked by the wall, it grows around it and not forcefully through it.
It took me a very long time to grasp such a simple yet understandable concept of ‘flow’.
For me now that soon I am going to move away somewhere I can finally transition into what I was meant to become like the branches that grow around the wall rather than through it. I can finally be at peace with myself and start to love myself. ✌🏼 ☮️
BEAUTIFUL! My life changes the instant i started acknowledging this. I makes complete sense and its sooo easy... and the rewards... wow!
Great video! I love the concept of letting go and embracing the natural flow of life. Taoism is such a beautiful philosophy that reminds us to stop fighting against the current and instead, learn to move with it. As Lao Tzu said, "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." Letting go can be tough, but it can also be incredibly liberating. Here's to embracing the flow and letting go of what no longer serves us!
So if someone were to come up to you and attack you and try to kill you, you wouldn’t resist and defend yourself to survive and live? You would just go with the flow and let that person kill you?
Am I the only one that hit “like” before even watching the video? (Just me? Oh ok😆)

this is a wonderful video, I've noticed how exerting more force and control never helps any situation, this is exactly what I needed today
Redrustyhill Hell no. Stand up to injustice with all your might. I think the point is that you do your best and then deep inside let go of the outcome. Put forth all effort and then trust the universe.

Because in the West, we are indoctrinated, brainwashed or simply conditioned, to think in a certain way from the day we are born. Of course, the West also has an ongoing dislike of things 'oriental.' "Our way is better" when in actual fact it isn't. The oriental ways are far better! It just takes some adapting. (OK, a LOT of adapting, but what else is life about, if not learning?)

A beautifully made video in every way. Thank you so much. I fell in love with Taoism 55 years ago, and I still need to learn more and more. Or learn over and over. Or resonate, reinforce, and cement. Cement the lesson of not cementing.

Balance is the crux of life. Everything in life is in perfect balance and harmony. The night balances the day, the good balances the bad and so on. Even in atoms that are the very building blocks of the physical universe, there exists a positive charge (protons) that is balanced by the negative charge (electrons).
In this quote, Rumi is right in saying that life is a balance between letting go and holding on. There is a time to hold on and then there comes a time to let go and release.
The very act of releasing is powerful - it leads to healing, it helps recharge your energy and put things into perspective.
In-fact, most of the times these things happen naturally. When you become tired of holding on, you naturally have a tendency to let go. When you let go, all that energy that got drained from you while holding on starts to replenish. You start to feel renewed to the point where you get encouraged to take action again. In this way, letting go helps you gain clarity so you can pursue things that really matter.
So do not feel guilty to let go for that is inevitable and for the greater good.
PS: Letting go is NOT the same as giving up.
"Persist on letting go of the things that are attachments in your life.(karma) used in buddhism. Letting go is another form of liberation from one's past demons that holds an individual back from being great in life, or even finding out how great of a person you can be, and possibly how great your life can become." Be strong and let go. God bless to everyone who reads this.
