天下有始
“The world has a beginning — it is the mother of all things. When you find the mother, you understand the children. When you know the children, return to the mother.”
天下有始,以为天下母。既得其母,以知其子;既知其子,复守其母,没身不殆。塞其兑,闭其门,终身不勤。开其兑,济其事,终身不救。见小曰明,守柔曰强。用其光,复归其明,无遗身殃,是为习常。
When you feel lost, trace your way back to the beginning. Not the beginning of the problem — the beginning of you. Your essence has never been touched by any struggle.
