About This Quote
The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu said, “As much as you long for it, it longs for you more. Take one step toward the Big Person and it will take a hundred steps toward you.” As so often happens, the key word here is “as.” As much as we long for something, it longs for us more than we could ever imagine. It’s like the old saying, “Once bitten, twice shy.” It takes something really amazing to change our mindset and spur us into action.
