From The I Ching<\/em>, by Brian Browne Walker:<\/span><\/p>\n

The I Ching teaches there are two kinds of enthusiasm: one leads to misfortune, and one leads to success.\u00a0 You can proceed with confidence now if your enthusiasm is properly founded.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improper enthusiasm is fueled by the desires of the ego. People often desire recognition, wealth, power, or freedom from difficulty. Such desires can become so great that we will do anything to achieve them.\u00a0 Our energy rises as we wildly pursue our goal, but this unruly and egotistical enthusiasm inevitably leads us into incorrect and imbalanced behavior and into misfortune.<\/span><\/p>\n

Proper enthusiasm, on the other hand, is fueled by a devotion to attaining and expressing inner balance and inner truth.\u00a0 When your aim is not to influence others or to satisfy your ego but to follow the guidance of the Higher Power in all that you do, you acquire another kind of energy: a balanced and bottomless eagerness for living in step with what is right and good. In this there is true power and true grace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Striving out of your ego now will only push you further away from your goals.\u00a0 Seek to follow proper principles: keep to what is innocent, correct and kind and the Creative will come to your aid.\u00a0 The path of truth is always the path of least resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find your path of least resistance and express your inner truth by living in step with what is right and good.\u00a0 This is your quickest and most powerful way to achieve success in all areas.
