The verse
Water meets a rock and does not ram it;
it bends around and still runs to the sea.
What it means
When a plan meets an obstacle, finding another way is still progress. Stay flexible today: if one road is blocked, adjust your approach rather than giving up the goal.
Something to do today
- For one thing that is stuck, come up with an alternative approach.
