Dà Chù and the Willingness to Keep Refining

As part of our process designing visual expressions for our six core commitments, we explored aligning each value with an ancient I Ching hexagram as a way to define and shape our ethos. In this series, we will explore each alignment in greater depth—focusing today on our commitment to Relentless Self-Motivation.

Inner strength or the Taming Power of the Great (Hexagram 26 – Dà Chù 大畜) —is all about harnessing power through patience, discipline, and inner strength.

At ODNOS, our commitment to Relentless Self-Motivation lives in that same energy. It’s not about hustle for hustle’s sake. It’s about knowing what matters, staying focused, and continuing to grow—even when it’s hard, even when no one’s watching.

Endurance. Courage. The willingness to keep refining. That’s where real strength shows up—not in explosive effort, but in the quiet commitment to keep showing up and moving forward.
