To say that I've lost hope is an understatement.Bc I see no hope in any area of my life. Not job, not hobby/fulfillment/passion, and not , certainly, in relationships. The yi said 11.2 >36.
What do you do best? Do you enjoy doing it? Then find a way to make it profitable. This is just a suggestion. I do not know the circumstances in your life. But I am willing to bet there is something that you very much like to do. It may take some thinking, but it might be worth it in the long run.
Hi, Ginnie:...
We could be speaking about a quality Elizabeth possesses that is entirely intangible. We cannot know because not much background has been given with this question.
hexagram 50 line 3. It speaks of one who has talent but no one recognizes it. The commentary says though, "If only he/she will assure to be posessed of a spiritual power, sooner or later, he or she will find a place and his/her talents will be recognized.
Am happy to give more information but i dont know what else to provide, truly.Elizabeth has not told us the story, we need more accuracy for making readings or giving advice.
Elizhabeth: If you are concealed and feigning madness like the Count of Zi, you never might be seen as an object of disire, be in LOVE or in WORK.
When in time of veiling our light we remain excessively exigent with ourselves, we do the same with others, and they perceive the light that we have tried to conceal.
Try to be more tolerant with yourself and with others, You have improved enough, worked enough, suffered enough.
Stop suffering, stop any pressure on yourself, stop fearing. And remain visible.
In the work area, stop asking for jobs. Put your sight on opportunities that might be profitable for you, then look for the way to negotiate for it. Say, have in your mind the goal of profitability, but be conscient that the other part also will look for his own profit, you must have a clear idea of what can you offer that be of value for the other. Dont abandon the project to his luck, make following, go as far as you need.
Don't believe that the only that matters for getting a job is proficiency, it matters the person, say you.
Even, maybe, love is but another sort of job.
Meanwhile you give us more details about your life, your work, your book, this is what H.36 says in the received text:
明 ming2: clear / bright // to understand /
夷 yi2: a barbarian // wound /
利 li4: benefit / profit / profitable /
艱 jian1: difficult / hard /
貞 zhen1: divination / omen // perseverance / chastity /
1st. version: BRIGHT WOUND. Wounds of love, Narcisistic wounds ... ... are painful but give us wiseness, and the opportunity of understanding another wounded people
PROFITABLE [ALTHOUGH] DIFFICULT OMEN. It will cost, but it will be profitable.
2nd. version: UNDERSTANDING BARBARIANS. Negotiating with businessmen. Being comprehensive with people. PROFITABLE HARD OMEN. Hard work of negotiation,
... but fixed in mind the goal of profitability.
Take care, there is another version: PROFITABLE, HARD CHASTITY. Profitable to promise but not to give? Profitability makes hard to retain chastity?
I don't know, but beware.
Pls. see your post 'yesterday, 01:42 pm,'. Gene's quoted message re. 50.3
Timing is secondary but ensure the courting period lasts longer than a few weeks before
announcing nuptial day. Remember ... 'Actions speak louder than words'.
This year in particular has been hard on many all over the world. It's not unusual that
bad/tough phases last upto 4 years ... God forbid !
It seems to me that the most difficult part in your case is that there seems to be no visible end to this period and I feel that it could help you to start creating such visible ends even if they concern only minor aspects . . schedule some gratifying activity in your week, keep those distant relations working even if they don't promise a bright future; do it not in belief they will magically transform into what you're dreaming, but just for the sake of your every day that passes by and needs a small something to make it a little lighter, set short-term goals that are mostly within your control.
I was born Feb. 11 so I think not, altho I have Cancer rising I believe. (?) So this would mean I'm in Aquarius and not one of those signs unless I'm mistaken (??) I do have Saturn in the 12th though, which is basically the same as tying a steel boulder to your back and then saying "go forth!"Elizabeth, do you by any chance have a birthday around 5 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn? If so the last lunar eclipse would be affecting you heavily right now as it is me. I am 7 degrees Aries, and until saturn passed through 7 degrees Libra, I was really strongly feeling the effects of the eclipse, as it was creating a grand cross in the sky.
Elizabeth
One thing I might add. Stop telling yourself there will be no one to give it to. That just tells the subconscious there is no one to give it to. Will that be a cure all? I don't know, but think of this. I know it isn't what you want in the way you want it, but you have the whole world to give your love to. You give your love everytime you perform your dance. You give your love everytime you do something that helps society. Do they return it? Who cares? The universe always returns, sooner or later, that which we give to others. You give your love everytime you strive for greater perfection in your work. I know, that is not romantic love, but hang in there. Your love shows through. Your true colors.
Gene
I don't know if in another thread, but why don't you tell us more about your story, your work and your books?... Am happy to give more information but i dont know what else to provide, truly.
... OK maybe I am hiding. I cant exactly shine brightly when I feel hurt. So I guess that makes sense...
...
I dont know that I have any pressure on myself anymore. I dont feel like there is pressure or guidelines or goals or anything. There's a lot of lost hope and a lot of eggs in baskets slowly rotting because nothing is progressing. And I can't keep it from rotting or make it progress. Its like its all way out of my control now....
...
Hm I have never approached work as a search for profitability before (so this is a strange language to me!!)...
Dont be cruel with yourself. Who is speaking by your mouth?...
YES. This is how it feels to me: love is another job that I have to apply for. ANd i keep getting rejected or all the positions are full. Or the company is relocating out of the USA and outsourcing. And no more applicants needed. That is my love life (lack thereof). Absolutely. Bingo...
...
That doesnt sound like love to me? It sounds like a broken heart but making lots of money. Doesnt interest me. I am not sure I understand though, is this about a JOB or this is about a RELATIONSHIP with someone? ...
...
That sounds like any average job to me. That I can handle. business men are out for profit and you have to fit into their world. They never mold to fit yours. I have tons of experience with that. Not a big deal. Unless this applies to something other than work/employment. In which case then i have no understanding of what is meant here.
...
... Well I have been "chaste" in all areas of my life lately. ... obviously when work comes money comes and it is profitable. because you have money. So it has to mean more than that....
... If this regards relationships, i hear it saying you are waiting and there is chastity (aloneness) involved, but it will be profitable in the end (to wait). That's great, except it doesnt eliminate the painful waiting period or let me know how long it will go on. It could be YEARS more. It could be my whole life....
...
The comment "profitable to promise, hard to give" makes sense IF the advise is to promise but not jump into anything. I owuld welcome that if it meant there WAS an opportunity to BEGIN something. but right now there isnt....
... Finally just a few general details. I have part time work that doesnt cover expenses. I signed up for unemployment which also wont meet my expenses. And I am working on two books ... I dont know if that info helps ...
... On the love front, it is the story of the man (in another thread) who demonstrated vague interest and now is wavering or disinterested or scared. I dont know which. And I am still: waiting.
I don't know if in another thread, but why don't you tell us more about your story, your work and your books?
You are, please, don't feel hurt. It's not a matter of being bright but of being visible.
I would not say "excessively." Yes i'm demanding of myself. I have very high standards. But only because I have to be. Otherwise nothing happesn in my life. Other people work 1/4 of what I work and they get 10 times the rewards. I work 10 times as hard and get 1/4 of the rewards. My life has always been that way. I am used to it. So i dont have another way out.I believe that you are excessively self exigent, maybe I'm wrong.
Bad or good, right now it is NECESSARY (!) However, i'm just not good at it. I've never been *good* at being profitable, bc i'm not good at being powerful and negotiating...Why not profitability? Is it bad? Business are business. Dont you imagine any business in what you could earn money? May be you need a new approach.
Probably years of my mother. And soem self belief. But I feel the world is being cruel so I have to be even more cruel to myself... then if I am strict with myself maybe finally I will achieve my dreams, with hard work and effort, maybe what I want will finally come to me.Dont be cruel with yourself. Who is speaking by your mouth?
I don't advice you to filling forms. Look for whay can be convenient for you, then go and take it. No so simple, of course. But the idea is not asking for a job, neither waiting for love. If you have a target that's really good, you have to get it. Don't ask, negotiate.
I'm this an this. I can do that and that. It would be profitable for you because this and this. It would cost you ... Did you agree? How can I better my ofer? coukld you better you offer? Say, in negotiation there is interchange of benefits. Don't forget your benefit.
(You have to have a person to have love... so...there's no person here yet...)I don't know. Althoug LOVE is a hard work. If there is no profit, there is no good love. In work, if you don't get the money anybody else will.
YES! I dont need a boss. That is VERY TRUE. I need a partner and one who supports me. At work and in my personal life. I *dream* of partners.Don't offer you as a prey. You don't need a boss. You need a partner.
Suffering don't go to shorten the time. Maybe the opposite. Then, don't wait, use your time for another things.
I started my own web site two weeks ago for freelance translation work. And I sent out resumes... and no freelance work, but i got the phonecall about the job for today which was not from any of the effort I put out. It was from a friend who just started work at the company and they needed a copywriter...If nothing is happening, then you had to begin something.
I dont know anyone looking for the same type of jobs as me...but i do need a partner...I believe that you need money urgently, then you need a job. But you have to apply new recipes. What does or have people that get the jobs you wanted? Do you know some of them? Do you know some of the people that look for the same kind of jobs? Don't you need a partner in your work?
.. Stop waiting, if this man is for you he will appear by his own, if not, he was not for you. Not the sort of man that you need, maybe the better that you can do is to discard him.
Of course, these are personal advices, can be wrong. Nothing that the Changes say.
PROTECT THE OUT-OF-PRACTICE
Who lacks of practice need tolerance for trying.
Who, if not we, for giving it?
DO GALLOP THE RIVER!
Just do it. (1)
... It will cost.
DON'T ABANDON OR NEGLECT
Don't lose.
(Elizabeth comment: get honor in business and your good reputation will remain?)FRIENDS DISAPPEAR.
Even friends would dissappear...
GET HONOR IN [THE] MIDDLE [OF] ACTION
[or BEHAVIOR, or BUSINESS / PROFESSION]
... but reputation gotten by our merit shall remain.
[/CENTER]
Very good, I believe. don't you agree?
all the best,
Charly
________________
(1) Exhortation for galloping the river sounds strange. It could mean HURRY TO CROSS THE RIVER. But I associate it with competitions for getting mate (wife / huband) used by ethnic minorities in China.
Is hoarfrost when the rivers are frozen? Does this mean...race to marriage? That cannot be advice bc i dont have anyone in my life now??Also the time of marriage was the time of HOARFROST, when the spring had passed and the bride had evidence of pregnancy. Maybe an omen of marriage.
Another possibility is that it mean "MOVE THE BOTTOM" with the associated meaning of to pay the costs. In spanish it's said "THOSE WHO WANT TO EAT FISH THAT WET THE ARSE".
