He does the \"Tao of the Day\" and you can pick a number between 1 and 81 to get the Tao of the Day. I went up as a guest on his live and it was such an encouraging talk that challenged me. I picked the number 7 and this is what MartinJon read to me:</p><p><br></p><p>#7 – The Wisdom of Not Having Preference</p><p><br></p><p>Tao is infinite.</p><p>It doesn’t grow old or tired.</p><p>Because it has no preference for itself.&nbsp;</p><p>It can always persist.</p><p><br></p><p>The master puts her self last</p><p>And always finds herself first.&nbsp;</p><p>By being detached from preference.</p><p>She can give herself to what is</p><p>And find fulfillment there.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>I broke down crying because this spoke to me as I just want to “arrive” already. Some days I want to forgo the journey and be in a place of complete healing and be like those people who are so eloquent and who are in a much better place. But like they say “the joy is in the journey” and detach yourself from this idea of “arriving”.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>You can check out MartinJon at his website:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.martinjon.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.martinjon.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Download the Noom Vibe app:</p><p><br></p><p>Apple:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https://apps.apple.com/us/app/noom-vibe-healthy-habits/id1576484544\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/noom-vibe-healthy-habits/id1576484544</a></p><p><br></p><p>Google:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.socialaudio.wisdom&amp;hl=en_US&amp;pli=1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.socialaudio.wisdom&amp;hl=en_US&amp;pli=1</a></p>","author_name":"Stephanie Ann Webb"}
