It is one of mine also popee so simple, so true
The Tao Te Ching is undoubtedly my favorite ancient teaching on the way to truly live. If I had to choose a "religion" it would be Taoism If I had to choose only one book to ever read it would be the Tao Te Ching Nothing has helped "me" more or spoken to the "inner me" more than this teaching and it came at a time in my life when nothing else could break through. Why I picked it up that day I didn't know then, but I've haven't been the same since and thank God for that!

Sam Reifler puts it very, very briefly: "Stop wanting, start having!"

"You can have whatever you want in this world, as long as it's happening right now" It might even be one of Sam's quotes...

^ - Yup, it says the same... don't recognise it, however, though it seems to take after Henry Ford's famous quote on a different topic: "You can have any colour you want, as long as it's black!"
