Okay, so today I wanna chat about something I’ve been messing around with: hexagramme 32. Yeah, I know, sounds kinda fancy, right? But trust me, it’s not as complicated as it seems.
It all started last week. I was feeling kinda stuck, you know? Like I was in a rut, doing the same old thing day in and day out. A buddy of mine, who’s way into this kinda stuff, suggested I look into the I Ching. He said it could offer some insights, maybe shake things up a bit. So, I figured, why not?
I grabbed one of those online I Ching tools – there are tons of them. I went through the process of casting the hexagram. You know, tossing the coins and figuring out the lines. And boom, I got hexagramme 32: Duration. At first, I was like, “Okay, cool… what does that even mean?”
So, I started digging. I read up on it, checked out different interpretations online, and even watched a few YouTube videos. The general gist of it is about persistence, consistency, and sticking with things over the long haul. It’s about the power of gradual, steady progress.
Here’s where it got interesting. I started thinking about my own life and where I might be lacking that kind of consistent effort. One thing that immediately jumped to mind was my guitar playing. I love playing, but I’m so sporadic about it. I’ll practice like crazy for a week, then not touch it for a month. No wonder I’m not getting any better!
So, I decided to put hexagramme 32 into practice. I made a commitment to play guitar for at least 15 minutes every single day. No excuses. Even if I’m tired, even if I’m busy, 15 minutes. That’s all.
- Day 1: Felt good! Easy peasy. Got through a few scales and chords.
- Day 3: Started to feel a little tedious. Almost skipped it, but I pushed through.
- Day 7: Actually started to notice a tiny improvement in my finger dexterity. Cool!
- Day 10: Still going strong! Feeling more motivated now that I’m seeing some results.
It’s been about two weeks now, and I’m still keeping up with it. It’s not always easy, but I’m making it a priority. And you know what? I’m actually enjoying it more. The consistency has helped me build momentum, and I’m starting to feel like I’m finally making some real progress.
What’s the point?
The whole experience has been a good reminder that lasting change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, effort, and a willingness to stick with things even when they get boring or challenging. It’s not about grand gestures or sudden bursts of energy; it’s about showing up every day and doing the work, even if it’s just for a little bit.
I’m not saying hexagramme 32 is some magical solution to all my problems. But it’s given me a new perspective on the importance of consistency and persistence. And honestly, that’s something I can apply to all areas of my life, not just guitar playing.
So, yeah, that’s my hexagramme 32 story. Maybe it’ll inspire you to think about where you could use a little more consistency in your own life. Give it a shot! You might be surprised at what you can achieve.
