Knowing Others & Yourself – Sun Tzu & Lao Tzu Quote: "知⼈者智,⾃知者明。 To know others is intelligence; to know yourself is true wisdom." Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching (Chapter 33) We spend so much energy trying to understand others. Sun Tzu calls this essential for strategy. But Lao Tzu reveals the deeper victory: turning that inquiry inward. Self-knowledge disarms internal conflict. For Healing: Understanding your triggers (PTSD) or patterns (anxiety) is not self-judgment. It is strategic self-wisdom. You cannot navigate a landscape you do not know. With kindness, name one personal pattern (e.g., "I tense up when I'm rushed"). Just acknowledging it is an act of self-wisdom. With Love ❤️ Always Mark
