Day 13 of 81 Days of Tao — Beyond Praise and Blame
In this episode, we explore Verse 13 of the Tao Te Ching—a profound teaching on identity, belonging, and the way we are shaped by praise, judgement, and the need to be seen.
Why do we feel lifted when we are praised…
and shaken when we are criticised?
Because we have learned to attach our sense of self
to how we are perceived.
This verse gently reveals how this attachment creates fear—
fear of rejection…
fear of losing our place…
fear of not being enough.
But beneath this…
there is a deeper truth.
True belonging is not something we find in the world—
it is something we return to within ourselves.
This episode invites you to release the constant need for validation…
to soften your attachment to identity…
and to come home to a steadier, more grounded sense of self.
Take a breath…
and step through Door 13.
✨ Reflection:
Where in your life are you looking for validation…
and what would it feel like to belong to yourself instead?
