“When you are doing nothing people say you’re lazy
and that’s just how it is. Lazy people often fall
prey to low self-confidence. They can realize
their ineffectiveness and evaluate themselves in
relation to others. In the same vein, they drop
all ambition that they might have otherwise had.
So, the person is insecure, inept and lethargic —
A very bad combination for the workplace.
The worst consequence is that the boss will see
him as expendable. Why would management keep such
a counterproductive worker, someone who drags the
company down? The company is only as successful as
its most incompetent employee. Lazy ones are not
encouraged to wait out their pension.
So if you’re passing the time playing solitaire
and reading magazines in your cubicle, what’s the
point of going to work every day?”
-Askman magazine
In the Taoist system “Doing nothing” has a totally
different meaning. Doing nothing, or Taking No
Action, is a high 
tive state called Wu Wei
it could be interpreted as going with the flow.
Wu Wei is a concept that you might feel when
you’re in the zone, or maybe to simply react or
create without consciously thinking about it. Wu
Wei is to just being able to flow with the
situation and do what is only necessary to
accomplish the job without any unnecessary effort
or wasted energy.
Idleness or no action can be the most effective
place to be. Your mind is still and you can
actually get more accomplished in that state. Most
Americans are so stressed out; they are damaging
their health beyond repair. Stress is the number 1
killer in the USA and can lead to heart problems
or much worse. The amount of stress we go through
daily causes more damage than you could possibly
imagine and we are no longer the gatekeepers of
stress in the world. The mounting social and
economy problems in Japan, China, all through the
Middle East and Europe. It has put people at their
wits end. It seems like we are being forced to run
harder faster and it’s taking toll on our health.
Wu-Wei, which literally means, “Not Doing”, also
means “Not Forcing” nature goes its own way and
forces nothing; and yet the beauty and splendor is
created. Every morning I get out of bed around 6
am and walk down to the beach to train for an hour
or two. Every day the ocean is beautiful and the
cloud formations are magnificent. If you were
following me and had no idea what internal work
was all about you would swear I am doing nothing.
My training could be just standing there. Wu-Wei
is far from being inactive and doing nothing.
It’s a supreme activity, because it acts at rest,
acts without any effort. I am just there being,
with no doing.
When I write, train or teach I put myself in a
state of Wu Wei and just let the words or
exercises flow. It all becomes effortless. It
wasn’t always like this; it took me years to learn
all the forms, meditations and techniques so I
could get out of the way and just let it flow.
These techniques are well worth the effort to
learn, they will change your life and you will
live fuller and longer. I can guarantee it.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and
Happiness
