Hexagram 62 Difficulty Moving On Challenges in Socializing Joy and Fulfillment |

With eyes that only care to look at the grand scheme of things, smaller details often go unnoticed. Today’s world only evaluates dreams and inspirations based on how grand they are, but smaller aspects of the journey to getting there matter too. A wise man understands the value of depths and minute checkpoints that come with ascending towards a respectful position in life. 

Hexagram 62 from the I Ching is all about directing your attention towards the smaller details and happenings of life.

Hexagram 62 Message

Misfortune and destruction is met when one ignores the smaller details of life and only chases after the grander victories. When you start reading a book, you don’t only read the beginning and the climax, even though they’re the most important pages in the entire book. The slow character development, mid-way problem, and solution are all part of the story. The development of life is somewhat similar where every detail matters.

Don’t try to skip to the good or bad parts so soon. Live the moments and bask in the light of your existence! Big accomplishments will make a difference but only if you celebrate the smaller ones too. 

Hexagram 62 Message For Love & Relationships

There is no metric for love other than love itself. Using worldly metrics and scales to measure love in your relationship is outlandish and unwise. They might give you a false perception of your relationship which can be detrimental not only to the foundation of trust but also longevity. If things are going right in your relationship, communication is healthy, boundaries are set, and fulfillment is there, you can’t really ask for more. 

Messages From The Lines Of Hexagram 62

Hexagram 62 Symbol​

Line 1: 

Not taking notice of smaller details and only focusing on the ultimate goal does sound like an efficient idea but it may have more downsides than you think. 

Take the example of a fisherman who leaves his house to fish in a distant sea. If he puts his mind and energy only towards catching fish, there are a lot of steps that may slip out of his mind. Where will he store the fish? Is his net big enough? Is his fishing line long enough? How many fish will be enough to keep any from getting wasted? Details matter! 

Line 2:

In the face of danger, details can make or break the situation. Therefore, be cautious when sharing something small but relevant. That detail could be used against you, causing you great loss and further distress. If the interrogating party isn’t interested in details, remain quiet or at least think twice before saying something that could potentially give them leverage. 

Line 3:

Making a journey isn’t that hard. But, making it back from a journey is incredibly difficult. If details aren’t noted and wrong turns are taken, one can easily end up in no man’s land. Not only are you going to waste ample time trying to understand directions but will also have to deal with the frequent deja vu of being in the same places again. It’s chaotic and not a very pleasant experience. 

So, what do you do in such a situation? Simply keep your eyes open and take note of every detail throughout the journey. This way, you’ll be able to find your way back without much trouble or inconvenience. 

Line 4: 

Quit being nitpicky where details don’t matter – it’s a waste of time and effort you could be putting elsewhere. What’s done is done. Mark it as complete and move on to the next task. Many people have this habit of constantly revisiting their work and making changes to it. A wise man knows when to close the shutters and call it a day. 

Line 5: 

When you’re denied success, do your due diligence in finding out why. It’s not something that can simply be snatched away from one’s destiny. You accepting that unfair defeat would mean you aren’t hungry enough for it. Success is definitely earned…but…if somebody keeps you from it, it’s your job to snatch it from their wicked hands. 

Line 6: 

There’s nothing wrong with sharing details of opportunities with the people around you. However, be careful about whom you enlighten. Some of your “allies” may not think twice before snatching away a good opportunity from your hands. It’s not about trust but more so about how hypocrites can reveal their true faces when a good enough deal is presented to them. 

If faced with a situation where you feel an ally might be turning into a rival because of a good opportunity at the table, remain quiet and only observe their moves for a while. If the suspicion further solidifies, dissolve that relationship and move forward with your life.
