Your goals ... your path... This is "Tao"...
"Te" is the source of energy for "Tao"accomplishment.
"Te" is the source of luck, money, time, health, energy...
The "Te" level depends on and corresponds to the "Tao" level.
A person can choose his way ("Tao"), follow it, serve it, become its tool. But the person should follow his own way, he needs to grow up to it, improve his skills and thoughts, constantly think and study the nature of his tasks.
Not only a person has to choose his "Tao", but also "Tao" should choose the Person. Love must be mutual. If a person chooses the Way, but does not correspond to its level, in this case he will have to face tests and trainings to prove that the person is worthy of the chosen "Tao".
If "Tao" chooses the person, the person should just serve it and do his work, there won`t be any testing or training. However, if the person tries to betray "Tao" or fail to justify trust, the punishment will be terrible.
The person who has pursued the Way and accepted it, gets access to the source of "Te" energy, finds happiness and strength.
Laozi said that "Te" is grace, karma, blessing... Well, he wasn't far from the truth. Much is said about well-being as a criterion of correct life philosophy in Confucianism. We can say that "Te" is a source of well-being.
