Timing decides whether action works
The same act can succeed or fail depending on when it is taken. Potential has to ripen before it is turned into action, so judging the moment is as important as choosing the deed.
Every state holds its opposite
Any condition already contains the seed of its reverse, so strength turns toward weakness and bad times toward good. Whatever your situation is today, expect it to swing the other way, and plan for the turn rather than the moment.
Chance hands, chosen responses
Circumstances are dealt to us, but what follows depends on how we answer them. Wise conduct leads to growth and misguided action to regret, so the outcome sits in the response, not in the luck.
Meaningful coincidence instead of cause
Western science explains events by tracing causes, but this way of thinking attends to the chance pattern of everything that happens together at one moment. It treats a coincidence as meaningful in itself, which is a different rule for reading events, not a failed version of causal prediction.
