Career questions 11.6 to 26 and Hex 63 and 11 repeating

[mellissande17]

My husband and I have been working on advancing his acting career for a few years. He's had some success here and there with small things, but this month (April 2017) he had a huge breakthrough and signed with an agent. He has yet to receive work through his agent although he has had the opportunity to meet with important people in the film industry since signing. We are feeling frustrated because we just don't know what else we should be doing to move things along.
I have consulted the Oracle on this matter several times and I feel like I understand what is being said mostly, but I fear my own misinterpretation as I am still new to the I Ching.
My most recent inquiry has left me feeling very confused.
I asked
"What if we continue to pursue a career in acting for Z-?"
The answer was 11.6 to 26 This isn't the first time I received hex 11 in regards to this matter.
Previously I asked
"How can I help Z- realize his dream of making a living as an actor? "
I received 11.2.3 to 24
I have also received hex 63 repeating when I asked
"Will continuing to pursue Z-'s acting career produce any benefits for our family? "
The answer was 63.2.5 to 11
I then asked
"What are the chances that Z- will find success in a career as an actor?"
I got 63.1 to 39
I have studied these Hexagrams and I feel that I am being told that things are in the works and not to give up but I'm not sure if that is a correct interpretation. We have put so much time and energy into this goal and everyone tells him how talented he is, I just don't know what our next step should be. Do we wait and be patient? Is there something else that we should be doing that we are not doing? Is this a fruitless endeavor? Should we be using our energy and resources differently? His day job is very physically and mentally demanding so I do most of the leg work on this. I feel that I should also note that he suffers from severe PTSD and acting is a type of therapy for him so this is about more than just some hobby.
Any insight into this situation would be greatly appreciated!

What if we continue to pursue a career in acting for Z-?
11.6 > 26
The boundaries of your home and family will be demolished and he'll be away from home a lot.

How can I help Z- realize his dream of making a living as an actor?
11.2.3 > 24
Let him go out into the 'wilderness'/abroad by himself.
You'll still maintain an 'ok' relationship together if you let him come and go as he pleases, without blame.

Will continuing to pursue Z-'s acting career produce any benefits for our family?
63.2.5 > 11
You will lose your privacy somewhat, and you'll need to choose what to sacrifice in the process.
Chances are you'll only need to sacrifice something small.
63.2 speaks of loss, 63.5 speaks of sacrifice, and 11 shows "saving" a situation.
So, Z's acting career won't bring any benefits to your family. But it won't be a total disaster either.

What are the chances that Z- will find success in a career as an actor?
63.1 > 39
Not that great, there will be obstacle after obstacle.
But Z (or you?) sounds ambitious and determined about it, so he/you will keep putting in an effort.

Imo his acting career sounds like a time-bomb for your marriage.
I personally wouldn't risk it, but then again I'm not in your shoes.

That's very interesting! This is exactly why I wanted some insight. These are issues neither of us have considered. Acting makes him happy, and helps him deal with his condition. Our relationship is very strong but neither of us want to put it in jeopardy. I think we will have to discuss this aspect of continuing down this path. Thank you so much Dimanda! I couldn't see all the aspects of the answers I have been receiving!

Update

*Update*
Looking back at this thread and the interpretation given by diamanda I am struck by how mean spirited her interpretation seems to be. I realize that she may not have ment to be so discouraging but it really comes across that way, with this person even going so far as saying "I wouldn't risk it." It's been 6 months since I asked this question and in fact things have turned out really well in regards to this matter. My husband has found tremendous success in his career and our relationship has only benefited from his decision to pursue it. In fact we are closer than ever. I have done a lot of studying of the I-Ching system since I asked this question and I think it's important to note that we should take other people's interpretations of our questions and answers with a grain of salt. The insight that can be gained from posting publicly and requesting input from other Online Clarity users can be a huge help and very enlightening, but ultimately they are just someone's opinions based on their own experience. Obviously no one has the exact same experience as someone else. We must meditate on these answers in order to understand what is being said to us specifically as well as considering the input of others. Had I taken this "advice" and discouraged my husband from pursuing his dreams out of fear that what diamanda said would happen would indeed come to pass, then our family would have missed out on the incredible blessings now coming into our lives. I am glad that I did not let the fear that this person's interpretation inflicted stop me from being supportive of my husband's career choice which has ultimately benefited us greatly.
