As one of the ancient Chinese classics, the Book of Changes is well-known to the world for its profound wisdom and rich concept of change. In the Book of Changes, change is the core concept, and how to apply the principle of change to practical life is the focus of our first class. This article will share an experience from practicing the Book of Changes: A person with 12 points of patience can often achieve things.
Change in the I Ching is gradual, which means that the development of things requires a gradual and cyclical process. However, this rule is not explicitly stated in the book. Gradient means slow, and it needs to be done step by step. For example, from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ......All the way up to 10, which is a gradual process in order, which is called a gradual change. If you want to jump from 1 to 3 and then to 7 all at once, this non-gradual change does not conform to the principles of the I Ching. Therefore, following the law of development can help us achieve things steadily and pursue our goals.
Expansion: Adapting to the law of change is a process of continuous exploration. We can make appropriate adjustments and improvements on the basis of persistence according to our own goals and circumstances. If you know how to follow the rules, you will be able to better grasp the timing and direction, and promote the development of your career in a way that is more in line with your goals.
The Book of Changes mentions in the first hexagram at the beginning that "the hidden dragon should not be used". This principle means that in the beginning, it is necessary to concentrate on accumulation and lay a good foundation. Modern people are often in a hurry to do things and find it difficult to persevere, mainly because of impatience and lack of patience. They often don't give themselves enough time to gain experience and potential. However, success can only be achieved if it has experienced sufficient accumulation.
Expansion: Hidden Dragons require long hours of focus and persistence. In real life, we are often faced with various ** and distraction factors, which require us to stay focused and patient. Only through painstaking accumulation can we achieve long-term success, not forgetting our original intention, and not being swayed by external interference.
To practice the change principle of the I Ching, we first need to change our way of thinking and not be impatient. We must have a clear understanding of the success or failure of a thing. Some big things take a long time to accumulate and effort, while small things can be done quickly. Generally speaking, it takes 1 to 3 years for the dragon to be used. However, many people give up after holding on for a month or two, and this is because they lack the long-term outlook and willpower to persevere. Only by realizing the importance of the use of the hidden dragon for success can we overcome the difficulties and setbacks in the initial stage.
Expansion: Seeking progress while maintaining stability is a way of thinking in which quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Let's not rush and look at how things are going from a holistic perspective. If we find that something can develop according to the rhythm of gradual change, it is worth more patience and effort. For example, as a self-editor, I've been writing consistently for 1200 days. In the first few years, I barely made any money, but I still kept writing. At a slow but steady pace, I've been trying to improve. Since ** is just one of the things I do, I have also experienced the process of starting from scratch and growing gradually in other fields. No matter what we do, as long as we follow the principle of gradual change in the I Ching, things will develop towards our goal.
