Small Steps

A Pit with sheer sides. Seek and acquire through the Small. As you venture into danger you will get what you need by being flexible and adaptable. Have modest goals. Keep your sense of purpose.

Use an inspiring idea to carry your desires. Energy and power will surge up from below. Strip away your old ideas.

九二, 坎有險, 求小得.

The abyss is dangerous. One should strive to attain small things only. ##### Comments When we are in danger we ought not to attempt to get out of it immediately, regardless of circumstances; at first we must content ourselves with not being overcome by it. We must calmly weigh the conditions of the time and by satisfied with small gains, because for the time being a great success cannot be attained. A spring flows only sparingly at first, and tarries for some time before it makes its way in to the open.
