The Strength You Were Born With
from The Modern Taoist Hosted by Kit Mann
What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t coming from doing too much… but from forcing too much? In this episode, we explore Chapter 55 of the Tao Te Ching and one of Lao Tzu’s most surprising images: the newborn child. Not as innocence. Not as weakness. As a picture of natural strength. We look at what happens as we grow older and slowly trade ease for performance, natural response for self-management, and real strength for the exhausting work of holding ourselves together. Why do some forms of effort leave us energized while others quietly drain us? And what happens when the version of ourselves we maintain starts costing more than the life we’re actually living? This episode is about harmony, depletion, identity, and the possibility that the strength you’re searching for may not need to be built at all. It may already be there.
