Practice nonaction, govern by not-governing from "summary" of Dao de Jing by Lao-Tzu,Laozi,Stephen Addiss

The way of the Dao is one of simplicity and naturalness. It is about aligning oneself with the flow of the universe, rather than trying to force things to happen. In the practice of nonaction, one allows things to unfold on their own, without interference or manipulation. This is not a passive approach, but rather a way of acting in harmony with the natural order of things. When one governs by not-governing, one leads by example rather than by force. Instead of imposing one's will on others, one allows them to find their own way. By relinquishing control and trusting in the inherent wisdom of the universe, one can create a harmonious and peaceful society. This is the essence of true leadership – guiding others without dominating them, and allowing them the freedom to make their own choices. In a world filled with chaos and conflict, the wisdom of nonaction and not-governing is more important than ever. By letting go of our need to control and manipulate, we can find true peace and harmony. It is through surrendering to the natural flow of the Dao that we can truly find our place in the world. Only by practicing nonaction and governing by not-governing can we truly live in alignment with the Dao, and find the peace and contentment that we seek.
