Yield and Overcome: How change can positively impact our lives

by Reino Gevers

Like the seasons of the year, there is a right time for everything. Opportunity or misfortune comes when taking action or non-action. Based on the tenet that all creation is in a continuous process of transition, the Chinese teaching of the Five Elements sees these "seasonal changes" as a principle of life. All living beings interact, adapt and change on a continuous evolutionary cycle.
