4th Yang in Hexagram 17, Sui

[moss elk]

Following creates success.
Perseverance brings misfortune.
To go one's way with sincerity brings clarity.
How could there be blame in this?
​

The line essentially means to be a surfer. Follow your tao for as long as it is your tao for as long as it feels worth following. Ride the wave. Feel it. Be at one with it. No wave lasts forever. The wave arrives on the beach. So must you. What did that all mean to you?

I can appreciate what you said.
Mind if I tack on one sentence to it
that includes the meaning of the texts second sentence?
Perseverance brings misfortune.
You can ride along with that wave,
but make sure to get off on time,
before the wave crashes into the beach and face-plants you.
