The TAO of Money

The TAO in Anything and Everything
The Bible says wisdom is everything. "Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding." (Proverbs 3:13)
Without wisdom, there is no understanding.
But why is understanding important?
Without understanding, anything and everything in life may seem paradoxical and inexplicable. It is this mindset that may make many people "not living in reality" -- in their minds they only see "unfairness" and "inequality." This distorted mindset may even lead many to committing crimes and violence: "Why shouldn't I rob them who've the money that I don't have?" or "They too have broken the law, so why shouldn't I do the same?"
Biblical wisdom is about "accountability" to God, which will give you spiritual "understanding." But if you are not a believer, that "understanding" may be irrelevant to you.
Having said that, human wisdom is indispensable in contemporary living. Human wisdom is not the same as acquisition of knowledge; human wisdom is the application of what you feel and understand to your everyday life and living. So, being knowledgeable does not necessarily mean being wise.
The TAO is the profound wisdom of Lao Tzu, an ancient sage from China more than 2,600 years ago. The TAO has survived and thrived for thousands of years for a good reason: it is applicable to anything and everything in contemporary daily life. The TAO shows you all the hows and the whys of anything and everything happening in your life, including the following: growing up, receiving education, earning a living, making money, getting married, starting a family, raising children, staying healthy, growing old, and dying.
The TAO helps you confront all your daily challenges, and live in balance and harmony.

Lao Tzu and Confucius
Parental Anger
Conflicts and misinterpretations often lead to anger with parents, resulting in the development of future relationships with a lack of love and trust. Conflicts with biological parents, stepparents, foster and adoptive parents may vary in intensity, and even change drastically due to the separation and divorce of parents. In addition, bad parental relationships may worsen due to the following:
·
The birth of a new baby
demanding more parental attention.
·
Financial problems, such
as unemployment.
·
Development of anxiety
and depression in both parents and children.
·
Experiences of abuse and
bullying at home, at school or elsewhere.
·
Drug and alcohol use.
Children, while growing up into preteens and teenagers, often become more
independent and more responsible, with their own perspectives and preferences
in every aspect of their lives. Their mental and emotional changes are the
foundations of their disagreements with their parents, including their time
management, their doings, and non-doings, as well as their obedience and
disobedience to their parents’ demands.
Irrational anger
On November 21, 2022, a 10-year-old boy shot and killed his mother
by mistake. He allegedly claimed he took the
gun from his mother’s bedroom down to the basement, where his mother was doing
her laundry. The boy initially claimed that he was twirling the gun around his
fingers when it went off and “accidentally” killed his mother.
But, according to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the boy later confessed that he
carried out the heinous act out of his anger after his mother refused to
buy him a VR headset. Members of his family further revealed the 10-year-old
boy’s many previous episodes of erratic anger and rage issues, such as setting
fire at home and causing explosion when his demands were rejected by his
mother.
Even while being interrogated by the FBI,
the boy surprisingly asked if the VR headset that he ordered from Amazon the
day after killing his mother had arrived or not.
The Bottom Line
So, as a parent, you need to improve your
relationships with your children by doing the following:
·
Spending more quality
time with more one-on-one interactions with your children as they grow up.
·
Finding the right time
to address any issue, instead of responding to it right away.
·
Listening to complaints
without any interruption.
·
Acknowledging their
needs and wants, and explaining to them the differences between needs and
wants.
·
Connecting or
reconnecting them with warmth, such as hugging.
·
Being willing and open
to any compromise.
·
Teaching them about
love, compassion, forgiveness, and empathy.
·
Helping them set their
own life goals, and not what you want them to do.

TAO and Biblical Wisdom
The Background
Lao Tzu was an ancient sage from China more than 2,600 years ago. According to the legend, he was born with all white hair—a sign of experience and wisdom. Unlike his contemporary philosopher, Confucius, who had many publications, as well as many disciples and followers, Lao Tzu’s only publication was Tao Te Ching,written in only 5,000 words. According to the legend, Lao Tzu was detained at the city gate and was told that he could not leave China for Tibet until he had put down his words of wisdom. Reluctantly, he put down his wisdom in 81 short chapters of exactly 5,000 words without any punctuation mark (all the punctuation marks in the text were subsequently added by scholars over the centuries).
Part Four is an explanation of how Tao wisdom may help the reader understand God's wisdom in the Bible. Tao is the Way to Biblical wisdom.
Stephen Lau has published several books based on TAO wisdom expressed in Tao Te Ching. Go and visit his site: Books by Stephen Lau.
Immune System
All About . . . .
Myasthenia gravis is one of the many autoimmune diseases, which, according to contemporary Western medicine, offer no known cure, except controlling or suppressing their many disease symptoms.
This book is based on the author's own experience of battling against his myasthenia gravis: how he stopped all his medications through a holistic approach to controlling and managing the disease. This book provides insight and well-researched information that he would like to share with those who are afflicted with myasthenia gravis or any other autoimmune disease.
Albert Einstein once said: "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle." Believe in the miracle of self-healing. Healing comes only from within, and not from any external source. Every individual should avail every opportunity to initiate the self-healing process, which is innate in the human body. Just believing in the miracle of self-cure, however, is not enough; you must also empower yourself with knowledge and information to overcome myasthenia gravis through a holistic approach to the wellness of the body, the mind, and the spirit.
This book covers every aspect of holistic health to cope with autoimmunity: body detox, diet, lifestyle changes, exercises for muscle weakness, and mental relaxation techniques for vision problems associated with myasthenia gravis. "The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope. That is why the patient's hopes are the physician's secret weapon. They are the hidden ingredients in any prescription." (Norman Cousins) Find your own ingredients in your prescription for a cure of your myasthenia gravis.
