Begin Your Life Journey of Living Longer


One of Lao Tzu’s famous sayings is “A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.” The journey of the TAO of living longer is a great undertaking: every step is as important as the first; and each step is as firm as the previous one, given that the Chinese often like to say “feet stepping on solid and steady ground.”
It must be remembered that the TAO is about neither longevity nor immortality. Instead, it is about the wisdom of living life to the fullest in the physical world, making its final departure with grace and meaning at the appropriate time, whether it is 30 years, 60 years, or even 100 years and beyond. Having said that, the TAO may still enable you to embark on your living-longer journey through the all-inclusive and self-awakening lens of the TAO.
Your journey is the sum of all your steps. Before you take your first step, ponder on this reality: in life, all humans have two desires or pursuits—happiness and healthiness, which not only often come with many delusions and illusions but also always are unattainable and unsustainable. But the TAO may give you self-awakening and self-intuition to help you along your journey.         



It is your journey, and only you can take your first step. So, you must have the intent and desire to go on that journey of living longer.
The lifespan of humans is relative. In other words, your lifespan is related only to you alonejust as in nature some insects are born in the morning and die by nightfall, while other insects are born in the spring and live until the late summer.
Irrespective of your own lifespan, you may still want to live longer. To embark on your journey of living longer, you must, first and foremost, show your intent to live longer, especially if it is your steely resolve to reach the destination of your journey. 
So, what exactly is your intent?
Intent is your innate and yet inexplicable power that comes into play when you desire to move forward on your journey of living longer. With your focused intent, it may appear that everyone and everything around you are also playing a part in facilitating all your endeavors in your favor. Intent is your inner drive.
In addition to your intent to live longer, you must also demonstrate your desire for good health, driving your intentions and aspirations to take your first step on your journey of living longer.
But the desire for good health may be difficult to sustain for someone who is currently very ill or has many health issues; it may seem not only difficult but almost impossible for that individual to restore natural health and get well again. Worse, ill health may even make that individual forget to take care of the body, and thus allowing the body's functions to deteriorate further.
The bottom line: take your first step of intent with your desire for good health to change and overcome any attitude of despair and confusion related to any ill health you may currently be having. On this journey of living longer, always keep yourself moving forward with your intent and desire backed up with actual actions, and you will then go the distance on your journey.
