Lao Tzu quote: "Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you have..."
Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you have is right now. Every goal is possible from here. Lao Tzu

When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad. Lao Tzu
When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty, there arises the recognition of ugliness. When they all know the good as good, there arises the recognition of evil. Lao Tzu
