Pay close attention — tonight’s article is important, because every word of it is solid, practical wisdom.
Also, I encourage you to participate in the blessings section in the comments. It’s genuinely powerful.
Counting on my fingers: two days until New Year’s Day, four weeks until Spring Festival. There are many things we should be preparing for in advance.
Especially when it comes to traditional cultural practices — there are quite a few important details, more than most people realize.
After going back and forth, I’ve decided to break my promise and write you a long piece in the last three days of 2024.
Why?
Because there are things you need to know — and if you don’t know them soon, it will genuinely be too late.
Too late for what?
So many things. Whether we’re talking about major shifts in the broader tide, or your own personal development in the coming year — a massive earthquake has already occurred in the details you may have overlooked.
When a family sinks into decline and poverty, there is always a reason: the family has no navigator.
A navigator is someone with a grand life pattern (格局), far-reaching vision, and clear understanding — a core figure who can look at objective reality and know exactly how the family should take each step forward.
The moment a family has even one such navigator, all internal friction, conflict, and strife dissolve. Everyone’s strength converges toward a single great goal.
Every year-end, it becomes nearly impossible to settle into work — invitations from friends suddenly flood in from all directions. One moment it’s a Feng Shui consultation, the next it’s an annual fortune cycle (流年) reading. These are old friends, so there’s really no way to turn them down.
But over the years, these experiences have given me one deeply-felt conviction: in this life, you truly only need to seize an opportunity and ride one great wave of true wealth fortune — just once — and that is enough.
Some of you have left messages saying you feel regret about 2024 — that despite fighting hard the entire year, the gains were few, and by year’s end your spirits have sunk low.
You don’t need to carry that weight. A person’s legacy is never built in one or two years — let alone in an environment as clearly frigid as 2024 has been.
The people I interact with daily in my private circles include no shortage of accomplished, formidable individuals. And this year? Every last one of them has been lying low, biding their time — coiled like dragons, crouching like tigers.
Hey, has nobody reminded you?
There are only 8 days left until New Year’s Day, and just 5 weeks until the Spring Festival. It’s time to wind down and take stock.
I — Master Chi — hope you’ll use these coming days to slow your pace a little, and give some time back to yourself and your family.
No matter how hard-driven your years of striving have been, every life needs a moment to stop and catch its breath.
Tonight I want to share a few important, heartfelt words with you — if you’ve been exhausted lately, take your time reading this. [hug]
When I was young, I always thought that getting something done meant burning yourself up through sheer brute force. Especially in my early twenties, I would genuinely toss and turn sleeplessly through the night over something that wasn’t progressing the way I wanted.
But as I matured with age, I came to understand: whether a great undertaking succeeds or fails, it has its own predetermined course.
Frankly, I have little patience for people who, even in this day and age, keep serving up endless inspiration — glossing over life’s real difficulties with feel-good platitudes.
Especially over the past two years, whether through messages in my backend or during destiny readings (命理), I’ve felt clearly how much pressure people are carrying from every direction. I myself have been through one upheaval after another, so I want to share something real — advice that can actually help you climb out of your darkest moments faster.
Let me ask you a question first, and no lying: how long has it been since you last opened up and said out loud everything that’s been weighing you down?
I’m asking because I know — this past year, you’ve quietly endured countless sleepless, anxious nights on your own.
During all of that, even when friends or family reached out to check on you, you’d brush it off with a casual: It’s fine, I’m totally over it.
Master Chi hopes you will read these words every day — whenever you feel lost, anxious, or simply idle.
What’s remarkable is that many brothers and sisters who have read this passage find their Chi fortune (qi yun) truly beginning to flow more smoothly.
In life, encountering difficulties and setbacks is perfectly normal. The world is always changing — seas become mulberry fields, and so do I.
So there is no reason for me to wholesale deny my own wisdom and abilities just because of hardships and obstacles.
