His name, which is also often called Laozi, literally means “Old Master” and is generally considered an honorific. He lived in the 6th century BC, at the same time as Confucius, who was born a generation after Lao Tzu. He once sought out Lao Tzu who told him “Strip yourself of your proud airs and numerous desires, your complacent demeanor and excessive ambitions. They won’t do you any good. This is all I have to say you.” Lao Tzu is the father of the Chinese spiritual tradition Taoism, mainly because of his text called Tao te Ching (Tao: the way of all life, te: the fit use of life by men, ching: text or classic). It is based on the Tao (The Way), which is the creator and sustainer of all things in the Universe, and the practice of doing by nondoing (wu-wei) that enables the disciple to unite with the Tao. Lao Tzu wrote his only book Tao Te Ching just before he walked away from the Chou empire he served. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Personal Development | by Will Edwards Finding inspiration for creating good quality posts is probably one of the most difficult things for anyone committed to the business of blogging. Recently, I completed my first 30 day challenge in which one of my challenges was creating a one thousand word blog post every day (see Forming a New Habit). As I reported, I didn’t quite manage it, but the results were enough to convince me of the importance of blogging for my site as a whole. So, in this post, I thought I would list some of the ways I have discovered that have helped to kick-start my writing when I was sitting there staring at that blank page.
