Today: “Be aware of your influence on others.  Cultivate discipline but not stifle creativity” – From the I Ching

Be aware of your influence on others.  Cultivate discipline but not stifle creativity.

One in this situation must be keenly aware of his influence on others.
Maintain a healthy respect for the ripple effect of your words and deeds.
To some you serve as a role model.

In the family the proper mean between severity and indulgence ought to prevail. Too great severity toward one’s own flesh and blood leads to remorse. The wise thing is to build strong dikes within which complete freedom of movement is allowed each individual.

When the Superior Person encounters saintly behavior, he adopts it; when he encounters a fault within, he transforms it.

Tao Te Ching – Verse 71 – Not-knowing is true knowledge. Presuming to know is a disease.

Today: First recognize the creativity of the Creator.” Yogi Bhajan

Nine in the third place means:

Tempers are unleashed within the family.
The father carries a heavy burden of guilt.
If his wife or children taunt him, this will only perpetuate the cycle.

When tempers flare up in the family,
Too great severity brings remorse.
Good fortune nonetheless.
When woman and child dally and laugh
It leads in the end to humiliation.

Woman and Child

‘Woman and Child’ – Jean Laurent Mosnier

In the family the proper mean between severity and indulgence ought to prevail. Too great severity toward one’s own flesh and blood leads to remorse. The wise thing is to build strong dikes within which complete freedom of movement is allowed each individual. But in doubtful instances too great severity, despite occasional mistakes, is preferable, because it preserves discipline in the family, whereas too great weakness leads to disgrace.

A joyful awareness of the best within you, coupled with an acceptance of your Shadow, will provide a greater repertoire, a much bolder vision, and new depth and clarity that will compel you to expand your horizons.
