## 39. Chien — 48. Ching

Certain things in life are obstructive and halting. But at the end of the day, you either accept it and move forward and allow the experience to shape you or not. As I write this, I can tell you that I’m experiencing exactly this. A guilty feeling washes over me, as I do want to divulge further into how these hexagrams play a role in my life. But what I can say is that pressing forward despite the one or four-hundred different frustrations are, develops character. 

I’ve re-written this entry about 7 times already. But it’s just not there today. My energy is pretty tapped! It’s definitely being used to process the feeling of being slowed down. But ultimately, it forced me to look at things existentially, to see that the feeling of being halted is a result of having the need to move forward. 

Stay blessed always,

Lee
