13: Fellowship

hexagram09

Fellowship. When communal bonds unite people, great success is possible. But such bonds can develop only when personal interests are subordinated to goals that serve the greater good of all. The broader the basis for action, the greater the benefits that can be achieved. And conversely, the greater the potential good, the more powerful the support behind it. A spirit of cooperation steadies the boat, but it helps to have a beautiful island to row towards.

Learn to respect the strength in diversity, for a community’s true power lies not in its numbers, but in the diverse skills and resources of its members. Just as the stoutest walls are reinforced with many different materials, so the strongest groups allow differences to co-exist inside the whole.

With a unified group solidly behind you, even difficult enterprises can be attempted without great risk.

Daily Motivator for September 28 – Powerful combination

Powerful combination

Be thankful for what you’ve done, learn from it, and use what you now know to  move forward. Regretting and second-guessing your past actions will just hold  you back, so quit beating yourself up and start pushing yourself ahead.

Though your past hasn’t been perfect, it has been successful in many ways.  For what you’ve done in the past has provided you with the opportunities you now  have in the present.

In a very real sense, you are more knowledgeable, more capable, more  experienced and more inspired right now than ever before. You are now here,  ready to make good, meaningful use of all that.

Now, you have the opportunity to transform past disappointments into future  successes. Take whatever has happened, and choose for it to serve you well going  forward.

This is not the time to rest on your previous achievements or to be  demoralized by your past mistakes. This is the time to gather it all into a  positive forward momentum.

This is a new moment and you are the best you’ve ever been. Transform that  powerful combination into truly valuable results.
