5 unchanging

[River1980]

I asked what I can do to improve my situation and my circumstances.

I got 5 unchanging

I understand that I have to just be patient and make the most of any opportunities that arise but I cannot force it.

But it says

Fruitful to cross the great river.....

And in crossing the river, committing yourself to go as far as you can towards what you’re waiting for, you begin the transition into the world where it is real.

So I am to do something different. I just don't know what. I am to go somewhere.

can any one help with this please???

In Wilhelm's translation this hexagram is not about waiting for something good to happen, it's about the right attitude to have when you are anticipating something bad happening. Eat, drink and be of good cheer - kinda like the Law of Attraction. Don't focus on the negative.

Thus to improve your circumstances focus on what is good in your current situation.

Yes, to appreciate your current situation. It may not seem like much to you, but to appreciate means to increase the value.

It can ALSO be about physical waiting based on cycles of Time. There's a right moment to act and a moment that will lead to inevitable obstacles. You know, when whatever we do simply doesn't seem to gel? When our attitude changes the concept of Time even changes. Then, before we know it, reality has come to meet us and we find ourselves in a different place entirely. But it has to start inside for us to traverse and recognise the moment when we can act with assurance.
