Loose! On Letting Stuff Go (book): https://amzn.to/3QVfrqM

The writings of the ancient Taoists persuade us to go in a different direction: we ought to let go of existing concepts and worldviews, become aware of emptiness, let nature take its course, and move with nature rather than against it. The goal? An easier life, less worrying… following Tao, the universal principle. This video explores ancient Taoist ideas that may serve as antidotes for reducing worry in a world out of control.

Better Version says:

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. I hope anything that bothers you and makes you feel depressed will go away and you will feel comfortable with this video. Don't worry, tomorrow is a new day. Start over. It's not too late yet.

Noah Lapuz says:

Does this mean that if we leave things alone and let go, we actually influence those things? And trying too hard or forcing things to become other than what they already are just messes up everything?

Matt Ashman says:

Fantastic video, thank you.

Maybe you should change the narrator’s with brighter and clearer voice.

It's a big and beautiful work. If you speak a little slower, with small pauses between the monologue would have a profound effect.

Dowlphwin says:

These videos are full of unreflected absolutist claims like "We have no control over external circumstances". That's salesperson rhetoric and indicates little own input, instead superficially reformatting other people's teachings. – It's either misrepresentation of the original teachings or the original teachers weren't particularly thorough either. (Or a mix of both.)

Shame!! The boss in insurance company wouldn't listen to this wise word if his junior failed to meet his monthly Target.

Worrying about it, is a waste, of time…
Quite very true..
But to break free of THAT train of thought, can be so very difficult indeed…
There lies the challenge, and great challenge it be..

Let it happen to you, let it fucking go and move on.

Abandoning pursuit of happiness because the pursuit itself feels exhausting and self defeating is itself a self defeating attitude. It's counter-productive and not consistent with human behavior and our natural spirit.

Mysteries made Known says:

Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? :26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? :27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

:28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; :29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. :30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

:31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ :32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. :33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. :34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
