iChing

In trying to determine how to plan out this week for myself, I turned to the iChing:

Strength is in the feet.
Undertakings bring misfortune.
Have confidence.

There is not enough of a foundation yet to set forth in this situation. Pushing ahead won't work. Have patience.


(patience is one thing I'm all out of)

The hexagram 34 changes to 32 :

Heng is telling you that the only sure constant in life is change. When mistakes are made in a particular strategy the same mistake is often repeated. It does not show strength of character to formulate the same strategy (even if it has worked in the past). Rather it shows a weakness in your refusal to adapt and change. There will always be obstacles in life. Some may be often repeated. If a strategy that has worked several times in the past does not work now then change your strategy. It is also about inertia and complacency. You should always be focusing on self-renewal and not becoming complacent. Avoid stagnation.


And that last part is true.  I've often said that I keep repeating things / lessons over and over, most having the same outcome.  So, maybe that part is true:  I refuse to adapt to change from time to time, maybe more often than not.   Guess I have my work cut out for me this week.
