01. Slow Down and Observe
02. Let Go of Control
03. Act in Harmony with the Situation
04. Don’t Chase
05. Align Desire with Reality
06. Adapt Like Water
07. Practice Detachment from Results

Taoism is a Chinese philosophy attributed to Lao Tzu which contributed to the folk religion of the people primarily in the rural areas of China and became the official religion of the country under the Tang Dynasty. Taoism is therefore both a philosophy and a religion. Taoism teaches to embrace wonder and the joy in living gracefully with style.
