Valuing the road over the goal was a Taoist goal in itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It was one of those goals that's invariably a goal.
The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it.
But the basic Taoism that we are concerned with here is simply a particular way of appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in everyday life.
A good system shortens the road to the goal.
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
The goals made such a difference to the way this game went.
Taoism taught me to focus on the process and not to be attached to preconceived ideas of what I thought the outcome should be.
The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a Hollywood star. That was not the goal. The goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but I knew where it was.
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
It means that Tao doesn't force or interfere with things, but lets them work in their own way, to produce results naturally. Then whatever needs to be done is done.
