Stick #31: Accept What Comes (Neutral)
随缘安命不强求，顺逆皆从心上修。境变心定风波少，处处逢源是渡舟。
Plain reading
This lot says follow fate without forcing. Good and bad both train the heart. When the world shifts, a steady mind sees fewer storms — adaptability is the ferry everywhere.
Interpretation
"Accept What Comes" is a neutral stick. Accept fortune and do not force. Reverse and smooth both polish the heart. When scene changes and mind stays firm, trouble lessens.
Situation notes
- Career: New role needs new skill — move with trend.
- Relationships: Life has ups and downs — cross together, less blame.
- Wealth: Income rises and falls — flexible budget.
Common misread
Auspicious tiers (such as Neutral) are tone, not a verdict. Name one action you control before redrawing.
Advice
Plans may change — mind must change more. When shift comes, breathe, then choose next step.
Drawn from Zhuangzi — "rest in time and accord, joy and grief cannot enter" — peace in change, mind as boat.
