Taoism is great IMO... makes a lot sense, and is very applicable for me. I've probably been an identified Taoist for like a year now
Anyways, it's strange being a Taoist and letting it guide you as such. It's very easy and very hard at the same time
It's kinda hard to explain briefly, but it takes a bit of practice before you know when to be passive and when to exert force on the world.
Basically, one's actions should be most analogous to the flow of water... And know when to flow around an obstruction, when to change course, or when pressure must be exerted to remove the obstacle...
***edit: I'd type more, but I lent out my copy of the Tao Te Ching, and I think it would be better to reference something more accurate than my memory
