I am 72 years old, and I know when you try to force yourself upon life it’s hard. You need to relax and let things happen and everything will come to you. God will provide

I pray who reads this become successful ❤❤❤❤

This is not about non action, but right action, optimal balance between action and rest. It is not about "not trying", but knowing when to stop, when to retreat. Water can be brutal, forceful, as in Tsunamis and major floods.

I love this video essay on Wu Wei so much. I will listen to this many more times. 'Nature does not rush yet it always achieves everything it needs.' 🙏

Both action and non action are extremely valuable, true wisdom is knowing when to exercise them

I have never believed in hitting your head against a brick wall. Just go around, climb over, dig under, or sit and admire the bricks. It's a brick wall it is there for a reason. You don't have to be there. The art of side stepping is my biggest asset.

The most prolific musicians and artists I’ve ever known were the calmest and most serene individuals I’ve ever met. I initially found this paradoxical and slowly realized it was precisely why they got so much accomplished. For those curious, I highly recommend Manly P. Hall’s “Intensity without Tension” lectures that can be found on YouTube. PS: this video is phenomenal and I have listened to it 7 times. I am reevaluating my approach to life and this is the soundtrack.

Oddly enough the less I do the more I have. Time is way more valuable than money ❤😮

I absolutely loved this reflection of eastern beliefs vs western culture and the metaphor of the river and water that constantly flows, even if obstructed. This has been a big learning for me to let go of the doing and surrendering. My doing nature, wasn’t comfortable with this. Since I started letting go, my life has brought me amazing connections and opportunities that I am so overwhelmed and grateful to receive. I also loved Amir’s soothing voice.

I've been practicing this for years when I create my art without even noticing... I just love the calmness that comes with it.❤

I have been following this for last 35 years and life has been a blessing. Keep it coming.

Thank you for this! 34 years attempting to follow the path of least resistance, this was a wonderful reminder.

I’ve subconsciously been aware of this philosophy but never practice it. In fact I told someone recently “Stop donig and just be. The doing will take care of itself” Fascinating. Now that I’m consciously aware of it maybe I’ll start practicing it. Thanks.

My mother was like this (referring to her as Yoda). And I'm a lot like my mother. On the other hand my father was just the opposite. And I come to this conclusion at a young age not to act so much like my father but to embrace my mothers balance being ⚖️☺️

Talk about without effortless and being in the flow, I nearly cried yesterday as I asked Google to find me my cottage. I was lead to a site and the first picture was my cottage. It is advertised as a room to rent in the 2 bedroom cottage, but I don’t care, ask and ye shall be given. But there’s more! 2 weeks prior to this amazing find I drew the interior of the cottage I wanted, I put everything in it and the layout I wanted. And every night I walked through it, room to room and envisaged me in it. The one I found It’s not identical but so close. Just below me away. Thank you for sharing this amazing video.

This resonated with me so deeply as this is EXACTLY where I Am in my life. I understand Masters Lao Tzu and Bruce Lee on a much deeper level, "Be Like Water". Such wisdom, Wu Wei. Thank you for this video. This is timeless.

That perfect flow can only be achieved when one acknowledges that there is a greater grander will at play , above and beyond our own free will. Only with this realization can we bring ourselves to respect and align ourselves with " the flow " rather than force or attempt to take control of the flow.

This video played on autoplay in my car, and it summarizes everything that’s been transpiring in my past 17 years… thank you.. the craft of stillness, joyful immersion, flow state, and complete surrender to the harmonious ever evolving present moment, thank you for this beautiful summary and comprehensive understanding ❤️thank you~ I parked after the 20 min drive from laguna beach~ Wu Wei~ Taoism~ positive psychology~ flow state~ documentary~ pacing~ Everything is so perfect and ease~ thank you so much ❤️

My boss has been practicing Wu Wei for years…we just thought he was lazy…hmmm, you learn something new everyday.
