Hex 61.1.2.6 to 8 Whether going back to work or not

[claroscuro]

What would the Yi recommend about whether going back to work or not
Keeping in mind my current situation; I would love to go back to work.
61.1 seems to indicate I cannot count on anyone other than myself?
61.2 I should look for people who are more like me.
61.6 Is all about not going too far, not having ideas above one's station, but it is very difficult to know what ideas are too fancy and which are fine - you don't want to limit yourself but at the same time, you don't want to be unrealistic –
How should I interpret this?

Please help.

I do not fully understand this reading but I can share a few thoughts.

Line 61.1 speaks of distractions coming if you are not alone. Yet you yearn for the companionship that the work would bring. Nevertheless, Yi warns against overreaching. So overall, this seems to be a "no" reading, despite the positiveness of 61.2.

Hi Ginnie,
I am trying to make sense of this; distractions if I am not alone. Yet you yearn for the companionship that the work would bring—However, I need the financial aspects more than the companionship.

Interestingly enough I asked how serious should I take this idea of going back to work, and I got Hex 61.1.2.6 to 8 again!

What does it mean?

Are you in shape to go back to work? Work involves a disciplined lifestyle, some stamina, and some degree of toughness. Forgive me if I'm on the wrong track. Line 61.6 implies some degree of talking or chatting too much. It can also mean that you are deluding yourself. It can mean all talk and no action in sight.

I think I don't know enough about you and your circumstances to really interpret this well.

Sharing my thoughts:

Situation: You would like to re-enter into employment.

Line 1: This desire must come from you and rely on yourself to carry this out.
Line 2: What you are doing will be supported by the environment
Line 6: Don't overdo, overstretch or become overconfident. Just do what you have to do to get what you need, e.g. income.
