Comments on: The Way of Non-Striving – Wu Wei http://www.journeyofsuccess.net/2009/06/the-way-of-non-striving-wu-wei Piggy's Blog Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:37:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Kin http://www.journeyofsuccess.net/2009/06/the-way-of-non-striving-wu-wei/comment-page-1#comment-11536 Kin Sat, 13 Jun 2009 02:38:15 +0000 http://www.piggysblog.com/?p=1141#comment-11536 @Yellowsister - your words seem to make sense and resemble that the written words, but one thing I must say is be careful not to dwell and drill too much into the words. I will add on to your comment with these questions: - Careful if one must try to main a "steady state", that person is almost doomed to be unsteady... - You mentioned to do nothing about the result, but can you simply do something without trying for a result? - Is not "never giving up" treading a very thin line as "never letting go"? (yet, letting go is closely tied to Wu Wei) - If we must use words to describe, wouldn't thinking "without a box" be closer to the essense to Wu Wei? Those are my 2 cents :) @Yellowsister – your words seem to make sense and resemble that the written words, but one thing I must say is be careful not to dwell and drill too much into the words.

However, to become that stage, you still have to follow what you said that "Whatever it is that you want to do, we continuously pay attention, learn, understand, practice, and repeat the process. At some point, after enough practice and repetition, you can let it go. Then you simply do", we still have to continuously trying to have a "steady state". The idea is not to make the end result ruined your life by trying "too hard" but to understand and appreciate the process during the trying. Wu Wei is to do nothing about your result. Just simply to be yourself. However, never giving up but thinking "outside of the box" may even highlight that essence of Wu-Wei in real life.
