The Power of the Great in Money

The strength to move is here — to expand, invest, take the next big step. Use it on the established paths (the image): sound principle, proven vehicles, the discipline that earned the strength in the first place. Watch the goat in yourself (line 3): head down, ramming the same aggressive bet, entangling deeper with each charge. The masterful alternative is line 4 — quiet, persevering work at the obstacle until the hedge simply opens; wealth like a cart's axle, invisible and load-bearing, carries everything precisely because it displays nothing. When the gates open (line 2), keep the modesty that got you here: success is exactly where people discard the humility that built it and start believing they're geniuses.

Pressure is where great power turns to force and force to catastrophe. The temptation is to power through — max the leverage, double down to break the resistance, mistake momentum for mandate. That is the goat at the hedge (line 3): boasting strength, forcing the outcome, and hanging trapped by its own weapons. Check the toes (line 1): if the surge wants to advance by pressure from a weak position — the big premature bet to escape — the verdict is rare in its certainty: misfortune, definitely. And if you're already wedged (line 6), pushed so far that neither adding nor cutting works, the exit is the admission: recognising honestly that force created the deadlock is itself what begins loosening it.
