Today: “Stay true to your path.  It will yield great success and rewards. ” – From the I Ching

Stay true to your path.  It will yield great success and rewards.  Stay in harmony with the cosmic flow.  Otherwise, seductive diversions will distract you and lead to the decay of what you have accomplished.

Read the text from Richard Wilhelm's and subsequent translations of the I Ching

#50, line 5, #44

Your needs are coming into harmony with the requirements of the Cosmos.
Blending brilliantly with the Dance of Life, you are becoming an actual element of Cosmic Law.  
Your goals will now be realized because you no longer cut against the Cosmic grain; you are no longer swimming against the flow of the Tao.
You are acquiring an intuitive sense of what can and cannot be, and aligning your efforts accordingly.
Here we have, in a ruling position, a man who is approachable and modest in nature. As a result of this attitude he succeeds in finding strong and able helpers who complement and aid him in his work. Having achieved this attitude, which requires constant self-abnegation, it is important for him to hold to it and not to let himself be led astray.
You are ignoring a clear and present danger to your well-being.

If this threat emanated from a heavy-handed oppressor, you would see it coming.
But this danger comes to you in the form of a seduction, an amusement, a diversion, an indulgence that is eating away at the fiber of your secure little world.
You are too cocksure.
You underestimate the tribute this dalliance will demand.
