What can I do to feel good about myself?

25.4 > 42

I'm not happy these days. I feel like I have been blessed with gifts that I'm either being held back from using by some unseen force or are holding myself back from using. I'm very out of sorts and confused about my place in this world right now.

Hexagram 25 describes a state of innocence, particularly noting the good feelings that come from living a life free of entanglements. Line 4 is quite reassuring basically saying ”Don’t worry - Be happy”. The fact that it changes to 42. Increase is also very positive suggesting that by keeping life simple (put fewer demands on yourself?) your life becomes better and better.

I agree with Rosada.
Line 4 seems to me about letting yourself live. Sometimes the gifts we are given when born are about living it in the most pure, uncomplicated way… just being…
Maybe we don’t have to believe there’s something special or relevant for us to do. Maybe by living in the simplest way we can inspire others and do greater good.
What are the gifts you think you are being held back from using?
To me the casting says that you need to lower your expectations and know that you are enough just as you are.
