A person who lives according to the Taoist principle of wu wei, or “action through inaction,” is able to achieve things without strain.
Wu wei is like floating in saltwater: if we give ourselves up to the water, we can achieve our goal – floating – without effort. But if we fight against the natural action of the water – for example, by trying to dive deep – we have to struggle to achieve our goal.
Describe a time when you acted in accord with wu wei, achieving your goal without strain.
