Close
your eyes. Eyes can be deceptive. You have to learn how to see with your
skin.
Life
is constantly demanding solutions to one thing or another. Nevertheless, stay calm, control your urges,
and actively wait: go for a jog, take a drive, chop wood, listen to music, wash
and put away dishes, sweep a floor – anything you can do to slowly get your
mind off the urgency. If you have to,
act as though you have already taken care of the problem, until you actually do
– just to get your mind off of it.
Always
identify your priorities, whether you are conducting a business transaction,
dealing with personal relationships, or considering matters of physical,
emotional, and spiritual health.
Consider the net gains of your actions.
Don’t become anxious. Don’t move
just to move. Stay cool. Look for the real targets. Pick your move.
It is
better to harmonize yang (hardness, fullness, action, productivity) with yin
(softness, emptiness, nonaction, reproductivity) and redirect.

Anger
is your enemy. Avoid assumptions about yourself and others. Don’t assume you know what’s going to happen
before it does. Be alert and widen your
vision. Practice active nonaction.
Generate positive energy. Trust yourself.
