enrolling in art course? Hex 15.3 > 2

[dancingfox]

What if I enroll in an art course (painting). It is a 5-year course, 8 hours a week. Since I work fulltime I would really have to commit. Pros and cons:

Con:
I want to move out from my dads and go back to living on my own by next summer and I haven't been saving like wanted to. I could afford the fee for the course but it wouldn't help with my saving plans either.

Pro:
I want to take the course because I need a creative outlet, and getting back into painting by myself isn't working. I would be expanding my social circle with like minded people, I hope. The winters can be a bit daunting at my dad's, this course could be a great way to channel any possible negative energy into something positive like expressing myself. I could also wait and save up and start in january.

Hex 15.3 to 2
I take this to wait until january and then go ahead.

What do you guys think?

I am not sure if now is a good time to enrol in this course financially and if I wil be able to keep commiting myself for 5 years, 8 hours a week on top of my fulltime job. Asking a 'what if' question might help me decide how to proceed.

Does this help? Sorry, I posted this question right before leaving for work this morning. Maybe I wanted to be to quick and that's why I wasn't very clear.

I think 15.3 says if you follow it through to the end you will be successful.

What was the outcome?

I never enrolled in the artcourse but moved out from my dads soon after. After moving outmuscled life took some twists and turns that left no room for the artcourse. One day though!

Interesting.
So the universe swept away the need for the art course.

I don’t understand where the toiling with integrity is. Any idea anyone?

Hello,
In my opinion, the integrity of 15 is also authenticity : being yourself, being authentic, being on the right path for yourself. And the heart of the Judgment of 15 is "a noble man carries things through." Thus, line 3 to action means "to bring to a successful conclusion" because this painting course would not have suited Dancingfox...

Interesting
But I have always thought that toiling means to do a lot of daily work, and in this case she didn't take the course at all.

I always get confused on whether to give priority to the line itself or to the hexagram's general meaning.
Alas! I guess I'll have to accept my limitations
