Staying composed is the best fortune. The temporary inability to obtain what you seek may not be due to insufficient effort, but rather a misalignment with the rhythm of destiny. Everything has its time; forcing matters will only add to your troubles. The Tao Te Ching states: "Doing nothing and yet nothing is left undone." True wisdom lies in understanding how to go with the flow rather than forcing against it. Softness and weakness often possess a more enduring strength than rigidity. The more eager you are for quick results, the more likely you are to achieve the opposite; the more you settle down, the things you desire may appear unexpectedly.
