Four Cardinal Virtues

Lao Tzu once said that  if we want to live life fully there are four cardinal virtues we must adhere to.  These are found in the Tao Te Ching and were written about by Wayne Dyer in his book Change Your Thoughts-Change Your Life (Hay House; 2007)

Paraphrased loosely after reading the above book, after hearing Wayne Dyer speak on public television about this and after reading a wonderful article I found on a quick google search (please find the site listed below and be sure to check it out) they are as follows:

1. Have reverence for all life
2. Operate with natural sincerity
3. Be gentle/Be kind
4. Serve

Dyer and the author below explain these much better than I ever could. Please check out these resources:
