Hexagram 5 : Needing

This hexagram symbolize the needing of patient and do not worry while you wait. You will finally achieve something. On the contrary “anxiety will lead to bad things and failure”, so just “wait for the help of resistance by the wind and the sun”. Waiting is indeed a positive action and a rule of thumb in this case. Identifying the right opportunity and catching it is also important.

Waiting for opportunity is by no means a negative way. It is like as if you are exploring for something. Before the results, you may imagine what they look like or complain that you are not making progress. But in actuality you are indeed making gains without realizing them. This is what it means by “waiting for the opportunity”.

During this period you will often hope for the best. However, the best will be actualized only if you believe that it would come by. Hence, you should get rid of negative thoughts. It is like waiting for the plane to depart on schedule at the airport. If you trust that it would depart on time, you could wait patiently. If not, it would only make you restless.

Do not go against your patience in waiting for opportunity. The best goes to those who waits because the subconscious mind is peaceful and would not allow opportunity to slip away unnoticed. The key is “let opportunity finds you” and you would know as your subconscious would respond if it is peaceful. On the reverse, rushing into opportunities that you think are great could be misleading.
