Find the right balance and harmony in your body, your mind, your life, and your business.
**
YY Hex 11

Yin and Yang represent two fundamental forces that create and harmonize the Universe by their interaction.

The State of Peace, Good Fortune, and Success

In the state of peace, good fortune, and success (I-Ching, Hexagram 11), Yin, the Receptive, which moves downward, stands above; Yang, the Creative, which moves upward, is below.

Hence their influences meet and are in harmony, so that all living things bloom and prosper.

This is the state of peace, good fortune, and success.

Maintain Strategic Balance

Like everything on Earth, this state of peace, good fortune and success is subject to change, however.

Prosperity is followed by decline: this is the eternal law. Evil can be held in check for a while but not permanently abolished. It always returns.

Yet, this is not a tragedy. It shouts just to keep us from falling into the illusion that good fortune comes to us automatically.

If we are mindful of the danger, we remain persevering and make less mistakes. As long as your inner nature remains stronger and richer than anything offered by external fortune, as long as you remain inwardly superior to fate, fortune will not desert you

Costas:
This is a great statement dear Vadim. We tend to getting lost in complexities and assume that difficult or complex problems SHOULD have difficult or complex solutions. Then we ignore simple and direct solutions which most of the time are better and easier and faster to reach to.

HAPPY VICTOR
Master of Happiness

The two main sources of happiness are enjoying what you have and creating new things. Happiness is about life-business synergy: love your life, love what you have, do what you love to do, and strive to make other people happier.

Creative Achiever

Follow your heart and intuition. Your passion will lead you to inspiration and completion. That's all you need. Follow your inner direction, not external suggestions. Don't split your energy. By trying to chase many rabbits at once, you'll catch neither. Focus, if you wish to hit the mark, and pursue your true passion, if you wish to be creative. Creativity is your key to a brighter future. Creativity gives you an incredible source of adventure, achievement, self-discovery, connection, spirituality, awakening, self-worth, identity, healing, happiness, energy, and power.

Yin and Yang: the State of Piece, Good Fortune, and Success

Yin, the Receptive, which moves downward, stands above; Yang, the Creative, which moves upward, is below. Hence their influences meet and are in harmony, so that all living things bloom and prosper. This is the state of peace, good fortune, and success. Like everything on Earth, this state is subject to change, however. Yet, if you are mindful of challenges, you remain persevering and make less mistakes. As long as your inner nature remains stronger and richer than anything offered by external fortune, as long as you remain inwardly superior to fate, success and fortune will not desert you.

Problem Defined

A problem is simply the difference between what you have and what you want. It may be a matter of getting something, of getting rid of something, of avoiding something, or of getting to know what you want.

Focus on Problems vs. Focus on Solutions

Someone said "Focus on problem leads to inventions! and Focus on solution leads to discoveries."  >>  Example

 

  

 

Focus on Solutions

Your attitude is extremely important. When you think of problems you'll only attract more problems. When you think of solutions – you'll attract solutions and opportunities. Approach the problem with the expectant attitude that there is an innovative practical solution just waiting to be found.  Be relaxed, confident and clear in your mind.

Restore the Balance

Balance is a key element of a happy life and sustainable business.

Yin (passive, receptive) and Yang (active, creative) are both opposing forces and complementary pairs. Problems arise not when the two forces are battling, but when there is an imbalance between them in the environment. Conflicts, business problems, health disorders, divorce, and other problems – all can be attributed to disharmony in the forces of Yin and Yang... More

Ask Searching Questions

Don't ask one or two questions and then rush straight towards a solution. With an incomplete understanding of the problem it is very easy to jump to wrong conclusions.

  • 'How' questions to discover different routes to significant improvement (see example)

The "Five-Why Process" was introduced at Toyota to find solution to manufacturing problems, but this approach can be applied to any other area as well.  Ask "Why this problem happened?" to discover its underlying problem; then ask "Why?" again to go deeper by another level until you reach the root cause.
