Today's #WednesdayWisdom is drawn from the Tao te Ching

Today's #WednesdayWisdom is drawn from verse 36 of the Tao te Ching:

If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand.

If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish.

If you want to take something, you must first allow it to be given.

This is called subtle perception of the way things are.

The soft overcomes the hard.

The slow overcomes the fast.

Let your workings remain a mystery.

Just show the people the results.
