46 – Growth – Sapling – A Tree pushing through the Earth

The trees grow upwards from the Earth, beginning as saplings and eventually becoming towering legends. The wise man ascends the mountain step by step, knowing that all good things come in good time. If there are doubts, then we should take council from an elder to banish this anxiety. Furthermore, things in the southern realm will bring assured success.

1^st – A Certain Growth – Following convention for the care of the sapling will surly lead to a healthy tree. Those who stand above support and agree with our actions.

2^nd – Sacrificing for the Growth – Just as a parent gives a part of themselves to nurture the child, we should now make a sacrifice to nurture our objective. It is now the time to concentrate on the gentle spiritual aspects of our life.

3^rd – Transplanting the Growth – The tree had grown too large for its pot. It is time now to transplant it to the forest. Good things will come as long as we create sufficient space in our life to accept them.

4^th – Growth on the Mountain – Following tradition, he cares for the old tree on the mountain. Now is the time to accept the ways of our elders for they have already been proven and will lead to assured success.

5^th – Incremental Growth – Good things are coming, but progress must be made on a step by step basis. Have no fear for what lies ahead, but rather focus on the step before our face. The path will lead through the forest.

6^th – A Blind Growth – He wants it so bad that he works all into the night and way past the dawn. This sort of thing may help us achieve our objective, but at the same time may lead to loss of money.

All Six – Observing the Growth – There is yet much to be done, but perhaps we do not possess all the required information? Now is the time to step back and assess the situation from a balanced perspective, so that we may understand it better before we take action.
