Today: Heal what has been spoiled by neglect – from the I Ching
You didn’t cause it, but you can help to sweep away corruption and stagnation that has been allowed to develop by those who have gone before you. In doing so, you will need the help of others.

Today: Reconciling differences – from the I Ching
Differences seem irreconcilable. What should be understood is that differences of individuality are internal and need not preclude coming together over external matters that affect both parties. Through minimal discourse small things may be resolved even if great undertakings may not succeed given the climate of divergent views.

Today: Be modest and lie low – from the I Ching
In humility, remain supremely modest. Do not push too much nor bring too much attention to yourself. Do not focus too closely or narrowly on your goals. It would be very easy for you to be blindsided by unforeseen attacks. Instead, wait for your message to be heard and your example seen. Soon, your resonance with the spirit of the people will be recognized. An unbounded enthusiasm will spring from their hearts as they join in the cosmic flow with you. It is a primal dance that will be self-sustaining and far reaching.
Today: A common goal – from the I Ching
Enjoy gathering and working with people of like mind. Engage where it is truly useful. Avoid encouraging people who are merely seeking your influence for their own ends. Remain neutral with people who are simply feeding off you. Then they will begin to trust you for who you are.
The task at hand is to lead the world out of confusion and back to order. Establish a common goal among your friends that will unite forces that are now tending in different directions. With determination and caution each will find the means of contributing to that goal and bringing it to success.

Today: Gentle persuasion – from the I Ching
Speak softly and act gently with confidence. Your intentions will be carried on the wind. With your persistence, their impact, not necessarily felt, will be far-reaching and effective. Resistance, no matter how dense, intransigent and rigid, cannot hold under ceaseless influence.
Have a clear goal with a clear direction. Follow through on your promises and lead by example.
