Housekeeping

Life is like housekeeping.

Although creativity and curiosity may be important, only relying on them can lead to a mess.

For such a deed would be virtually dependent on whims, so that actions can become sporadic, inconsistent and therefore disorganised.

To improve this, it would be effective to have a mental attitude similar to that of trying to constantly keep a room tidy and neat.

The accumulation of deeds based on it would gradually generate a situation where one's behaviour, direction and vision become clear, focused and steady.

It will even become easier to achieve what was initially thought to be difficult to achieve.

Housekeeping in life may not sound interesting.

But rather using creativity for it can engender some stimuli that increasingly make life more organised and concrete.

Rather than give everything to squeezing out exciting ideas, it would be useful to allocate some parts of creativity to such a mental activity, which makes much difference.

Work

If it is difficult to start, just start.

And, dare to complete the first draft as quickly as possible.

If the work done is ok, that is fine, and finish off.

If not, revise and refine it until completed.

The key is to create something as one piece of work first of all, even if provisional.

The worst is not to start, lingering and entertaining various thoughts on what to do.

If there is a first draft or a tentative piece, the process will be very much concrete and focused.

There will be a sense of solidity with a clear picture that the goal can be certainly achieved.

This would be the way to get work done in the shortest possible period.

Source

It is possible to reach the real depth of own life.

Once one has reached that point, a solid and unshakable conviction will arise from the core of own self.

Bright, joyful and indomitable life force will penetrate throughout its entire being.

There is no need to be afraid, and all needed is fortitude.

One can then be invincible at this stage.

A piece of work

Even if poor, even if socially unsuccessful, even if nobody understands, just create something that satisfies own life to the heart's content.

Even if there is no friend, through that piece of work, it is possible to make friends with hundreds and thousands of people far into the future.

Facts

Sometimes or often, the reality can be unbearable.

But hold on, keep cool and do what needs to be done.

Create positive outcomes, and keep on doing it.

People may say whatever.

Their minds change into whatever.

The situations and circumstances change in whatever ways.

But facts remain.

So keep creating some kind of outcomes as actual facts.

The facts speak by themselves.

So keep creating actual outcomes whatever people and circumstance may be.

Concreteness

It is no use grumbling.

Think about the source of the complaint and problems.

Try to analyse how they can be eliminated or solved.

Work out concrete and manageable plans for practical actions to achieve the goals.

And just do them.

Don't be trapped in the emotion of despair.

Cool down and keep a clear head.

And take actual steps for the plans.

Uniqueness

In this society, those who can not do like 'everyone else' are often despised.

Most of the time, they are hardly understood.

Despite their precious uniqueness and abilities, they are treated with contempt simply because they are not like majority of others.

People normally judge by appearance - virtually only by what they can see.

They can not understand what they can not see.

They would even refuse to understand what they can not understand.

Pity.

Stifling.

Perhaps, an only way to deal with it is to refine and sophisticate the very uniqueness to the extent that anyone can not refuse to recognize and admit it.

Then, they will realize how unreasonable their deeds of disparagement are.

Remember

Be creative.

Remember natural curiosity that drives the flow of creativity.

Cast away rigid, unnecessary, bureaucratic formality.

Eliminate cunning, coward, stifling thinking.

Just be yourself.

And simply, express it.

Just be true to the natural source of creativity.

And, be invincible in that.

Everything

Problems, troubles, difficulties.

It would be wise to take everything happening right there as the best opportunity to improve own self.

If we can think in that way, everything will be the best thing for our life.

Life and environment right here will be the best and happiest ever to our life.

Life itself has strength to turn everything into the source of happiness.

When we can feel gratitude about what is happening, we can have strength to actually transform the reality for the best result.

Society

Quite often, society is unreasonable and outrageous.

Many people criticize and say various things.

After all, all one needs to do is just to win.

Like a lion, roaring in the middle of a thousand of sheep.

Boldness

“Be bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold.”

― Herbert Spencer

Self-expression

Self-expression can have an aspect of contribution to society.

One can express own self, but at the same time, the 'expression' virtually supposes someone else who would perceive and accept it.

'Self-expression' can not come into being without the presence of others.

The fulfilling way of expressing own self is to give something positive to other people.

Positive reaction facilitates one's own satisfaction.

Work can be one form of self-expression.

When one can fully take advantage of own talents, abilities and whatever one possesses, and help and contribute to others, one would be able to feel profound satisfaction from it.

Swiftness

If there is no particular talent or nothing particular could be done on a given matter, just be quick.

Just deal with the matter as swift as possible.

Even if the outcome is nothing remarkable, the speed itself can add some value.

Swiftness per se could be valuable, since it can generate something positive.

If the matter is finished far before a deadline, there will be a sense of confidence, which is somehow felt satisfying and refreshing.

Even if revisions are needed, there will be still time to improve.

Time can be saved so that one can process many various matters at once.

Attitudes to be quick generate momentum in life, which accelerates dynamism, power, confidence and willingness.

Achievement in completing numerous matters further boosts confidence and motivations.

So, just try to be quick if one wishes to make difference or be valuable and unique.

Now

Now is the time.

The time for action.

Now is the real part of what needs to be done.

Not sometime later.

Now is the only time one can accomplish an objective.

If one can not do it now, when can it be done?

If it is left for later, the time will never come, and it will never be settled.

Now is the only and real part of the matter, the life.

So just do it now.

Complete it.

Finish it.

With full might.

With utter seriousness.

Just get it done.

Right now, right here.

Once finished and achieved, fresh and bright satisfaction will follow.

Nothing

If everything is lost.

If nothing is left.

Be creative.

Decide this is the best opportunity for creation.

This can be the time of freedom.

Trust the intuition.

Generate creativity to the heart's content.

Just let it flow.

Obstacles

Problems, difficulty, obstacles.

In any attempts, they arise as a matter of course.

There are no challenges that are free from them.

Just take them for granted.

And simply start the challenge.

Prepare to face problems, and determine to achieve the goal.

Then, just do it.

As simple as that.

Straight

It is better to be direct.

Better to face challenges directly.

Better to tackle what is really wanted.


People often try to avoid failure or mistakes.

For this, they get around problems and try to work out various schemes and strategies.

They spend a lot of energy for doing things that are seemingly desired, but in fact redundant and peripheral.

Then, they waste enormous amount of time while never reaching the initial goal.


This inefficiency comes from some sort of cowardice in own mind.

Lack of confidence or timidity in disguise.


Have a little more courage, and face what is actually needed.

This is THE direct, simple, the most efficient and easiest solution to solve the problem and achieve THE goal.

Just face it, and directly challenge it.

Real

There is no use trying to grasp the moon in the sky.

Therefore, no use feeling disappointed at not being able to do so.

Likewise, there is no need to be impatient for achieving an incredibly great ideal at once.

We can start with what we can do right here.

Start with something manageable.

No need to be ashamed.

Concentrate what can be done for now.

Then, accumulate the efforts steadily.

Just create something real.

No matter how trivial it may be, that is fine.

It is undeniable that we have produced something definite.

Add such achievement one by one, day after day.

No need to be impatient.

Just create and accumulate something real.

This is the way to materialize what is hoped for certain.

Exposure

If one wishes to develop oneself, the person should not be afraid of exposing own self to situations or matters that are felt uncomfortable.

For these very things indicate weak points of oneself, which are to be improved for further growth.

When exposed to what is felt to be difficult, rather than avoiding it, one can try and do the best to cope with it.

The sense of discomfort or even pain will be gradually eased.

And, continuous efforts will enable the person to become capable of dealing with it naturally and even joyfully.

Human life has ability to evolve while refreshing, expanding and revolutionizing itself.

Rather than withdrawing into a shell of current self, it is better to put trust upon the inherent vitality and dynamism of life itself, which potentially exist within any human beings.

Fortitude

Don't be swayed.

Don't be impatient.

Never be servile.

Just have guts to stay still and do just what is needed.

Ignore the noise of barking here and there.

Turn the anger into the gravity of silence.

And just do what is needed.

Confidence II

Confidence truly matters.

It really affects performance.

If one loses it or becomes disheartened, the person can only take advantage of little portion of actual capability.

With abundant confidence, one can maximize the ability, generate extra of it and even multiply it.

Even if there is no seeming rationale or verification, dare to have confidence.

Positive and limitless imagination with confidence is the source of overwhelming victory.

Confidence is free.

Anyone can have and create confidence at anytime, anywhere and under any circumstances boundlessly.

Confidence

Never lose confidence.

Self-confidence is what one can count on.

Do not discouraged by failures, and never underestimate and degrade own self.

Remember past achievements and boundless potential that any human beings possess.

Never backslide, and advance with unshakable confidence.

People's reputation is unreliable and transient, which easily changes like water or smoke.

As long as a castle within own mind is unconquered, there is no defeat.

As long as one never gives up and never stops challenging, there will be definite victory.

Limits

Depending on how one deals with failures, one can either expand life or backslide.

A failure may be the sign of the 'current' limit of own capacity.

One may wish to stay within the range of the limit so that she/he would not make similar mistakes again.

But this could be a wrong attitude, if wishing to develop own self.

If the person is intimidated and withdraw into the radius of the limitation, there will be no further growth.

Worse yet, the capability can degenerate, and one may has to suffer less freedom.

Actually, detecting the limit is the best opportunity to know which aspect of own self can be improved.

By focusing on it, one can expand the border of the capacity a little more.

Try to challenge or improve the very thing in which one failed.

But start with moderate or modest pressure while gradually increase the level of it.

Then one can strengthen own ability to the level of easily coping with the matter which was once beyond the capacity.

It can be applied to every aspect of our life.

If such elements of the conscious training or exercises are put in daily life, the life can be filled with the abundance of growth.

Mountain

Facing a huge challenge or difficulty might be overwhelming as if confronting an enormous mountain to climb.

But cool down own thinking a little.

An actual way to overcome it comes down to the accumulation of small single actions of own self.

One can focus on what one can do right here, right now with the natural capability of own body and mind.

No needs to be a super human that overthrows the obstacle with one push.

Be yourself, and think and do what can be done now.

And continue the efforts and accumulate them.

No need for haste.

Just take the single action needed for now.

Healing

To heal own self, there needs to be some kind of gentleness, which is generated from own life.

Gentleness shares common qualities with an attitude or emotion of caring.

Perhaps one can heal oneself by caring others.

Capability

It is often painful when not capable enough.

But still it is possible to be sincere in dealing with matters.

It can be a way to face unsolvable problems and live through.

The pain can derive from an attitude to defend the own ego.

Sincerity enables one to sever the narrow attachment and extend own life a little further.

Pain

When suffering, it is sometimes the case that one's attention is only directed to own self.

But it is possible to realize that there may be other people who are suffering in a similar way.

When one can extend the concern to such people, the pain can be somewhat relieved.

A pain only for an own ego can be dark.

But a pain that considers others can be embracing and rather brighter.

Perhaps there could be a way out in such a direction.

Dignity

Never be servile to those filled with a despicable sense of animality.

For they simply become arrogant in front of people who look weak.

They turn subservient when faced with the strong.

Such is the nature of animality.

There are tons of them, who are possessed by it.

They look intellectual, but in fact are only skilled at calculation and scheming.

They always think about their own profits and status while taking advantage of others.

They are highly susceptible to jealousy, timidity and insidious parochialism.

Just be resolute and stand firm.

The barks of hundreds of beasts are overwhelmed by the dignity and roar of a single lion.

Uniqueness

Own uniqueness means originality.

It means difference and rarity, which in turn means a gap with others.

The gap per se can create values when utilized positively.

Then it can prove to be precious and priceless.

Natural

If everything goes wrong, despite all efforts, try a different approach.

Just relax and see inside own self.

There can be something in tune with real self.

Be honest with it.

And use it naturally in dealing with matters or attempts.

After all, we can't be someone else.

We can only be ourselves and use just our own things.

Then simply take advantage of something natural, which can be unique and precious.

This can prove to create values and be effective in reality.

Challenge

There are no attempts that have no obstacles or troubles.

Taking action means to cause some kind of change in reality.

When change occurs, there will be reaction in accordance with it.

Reaction would not always be positive and easy.

It can be negative and hard.

It may create some form of pressure or hindrance against the action.

But it is at the same time the sign that the change is actually taking place.

So don't be discouraged.

Once the obstacles are overcome, there will be a path that is open for further advancement for challenge.

Don't hold back.

Just go for it and move forward.

Courage

In order to break through an impasse, what is essential and only needed is courage.

What is courage exactly?

Courage is an attitude or will to dare to do something which one often feels unwilling, hesitant or even afraid to do.

Yet, at times it can be very difficult to generate.

But without courage, nothing will happen.

People would stay resigned to the situation, and time would simply passe till the end of life.

Courage is an only solution to break the chain of the negative cycle.

How can one generate it?

It is often the case that people feel discouraged in the face of the psychological burdens to overcome potential troubles.

Some may be overwhelmed and become at a loss.

One way to deal with it is to focus on a single action to take.

Just try to generate courage or simply stay cool in taking only that specific action.

This constitutes at least one break-through.

And do another, and then do another again.

Step by step, one after another.

Through their accumulation with patience, the wave of a holistic break-through will emerge.

Worth

At times, one may wonder if this life is worth living.

No matter how desperately make efforts, how earnestly create something again and again and again and again, none will respond at all in this society.

It is as if confronting a huge wall, which does not utter even a word and just stay still there.

It says nothing and obstructs one's way forward

No one heeds this voice.

A cold place, cold society.

Then, is it worth living?

Is it worth making efforts?

But there is nothing else to be able to be done.

Nothing else.

All that can be done is to do the thing one is doing.

Just going the way one is going.

If one looks around and only keeps concerned about others' eyes, one may lose confidence and see oneself as useless and worthless.

Then, don't look at them.

People may judge, but will never help.

What is the point to rely on them?

What is valuable is relative.

One can decide one's own value by oneself.

No matter how others may evaluate, criticize and ignore.

That is their problem, not one's own.

Let them do so whatever.

Just concentrate on one's own life.

Then, create to the heart's content.

No matter how dark and quiet the place may be.

It may be like living at the the bottom of the sea.

But as long as having a little light of hope and satisfaction, the life itself is worthwhile boundlessly.

Those living only worried about and totally servile to others' opinions may be living materially comfortable life, but spiritually in hell like slavery.

One can decide the worth of one's own life, not others

And perhaps hundreds or thousands years later, there could be a true friend who will understand the real worth of it.

Whole

It is useful or even essential to have a holistic perspective.

In the process of learning or working on something, it is better to grasp a whole idea of a subject matter in the beginning.

Take a look at the structure with a bird's eye view first.

And then, tentatively go through a whole process in a swift manner.

No need to be detailed or precise at this stage.

Repeat it again and again, so that one can build up and deepen the understanding or creation of the matter.

Gradually, the holistic construct of it will emerge.

The contents will be more and more detailed and precise through the accumulation.

Continue that process for further perfection and completion.

Through the repetition, refine the quality and sharpen the strength of the outcome.

Then, conclude the work and finish it off.

Night

There can be time when it feels nothing is moving forward.

It might be even felt everything is getting wrong.

It happens somehow despite all-out efforts.

Then I sometimes wonder if I am doing wrong.

Am I going totally wrong direction?

But I can not think of any other way.

I am just trying my best.

I've never meant doing anything wrong.

Why?

Probably, that hesitation per se would be the very thing to break through.

There seems a psychological barrier that limits the range of the efforts.

Some kind of cowardice is preventing own self from going beyond the limitation.

But how can I overcome?

Just try the efforts I'm now doing to the end.

Just give everything into it until their completion and perfection.

Just go ahead until having an actual break-through.

Don't stop.

Never give up.

The night is the darkest and coldest just before sunrise.

Life

One cannot live the life of someone else.

One can only live one's own life.

Therefore there is no use of envying other's life.

No matter how dull the life seems like, there is no other way but to live it.

Then just live that life.

Dare to live it.

Concentrate on  it.

Deepen it.

Refine it.

Sharpen it.

Until it becomes absolutely clear to own mind.

Until one feels absolutely fine with that life.

Relax

Just take a deep breath.

And relax.

You can't do everything.

That's fine, then.

Just relax.

And do what you can and wish to do.

Attempts

Before despairing, try everything that has come into mind first.

If wishing to despair, despair after that.

It is often the case that people just lose hope without trying every possible idea.

Many would simply despair after trying just one or a few attempts.

Some would do so even without doing anything.

Before despairing, think if there are any more ideas, and just try them.

There must be hundreds of ways to come up with.

There are no time to lose hope.

Just try them.

Pride

No matter how badly doing and living, one cannot escape from one's own life.

No matter how others are doing much better and how envious one may feel of them, one cannot live their lives.

All one can do is to live one's own life.

If so, then just live that life.

Just face it.

Just live the best of that life.

Just live fully.

It is no use comparing oneself to others.

However people may laugh, pity and scorn, let them do so.

For one cannot do other than and more than what one can do.

What is wrong with it?

Nothing wrong.

Living fully itself, doing the best itself is a great thing by itself.

Nothing wrong with it.

If some people pity and scorn, they ARE wrong.

Just be proud of own life.

Just be proud of it, even if badly performing.

Just be proud of doing the best.

Be absolutely proud of living own life.

Best

Whatever the circumstances, whatever the results, just do the best.

No matter what others think, say and criticize, just do the own best.

No matter how disappointed, discouraged, disheartened and depressed, just go ahead and do the best.

No matter how badly performing and getting nothing, just do the best.

Live fully.

This itself generates real satisfaction.

It gives meaning and value to the life.

It does not matter whether others, people and society respond or not.

Just do the best and live fully.

Courage

Concentrate on just one thing.

Have courage.

In every kind of action one takes.

In every moment one spends.

Only this will change everything dramatically in one's life.

Time

If wondering when to do.

Do it now.


If necessary to choose when, pick an earlier day.

As early as possible.

And just get things done.

Quickly.

Right Here

Overcome fear.

Right here, right now.


Face problems just in front.

Tackle them squarely.

And get things done right away.


Don't retreat.

Just have courage.


Courage, only courage is what is needed.

It surpasses any tactics.


Just generate courage and do it.

That will suffice.

Best

For those who leave, let them leave.

For those who criticize, let them criticize.

For those who scorn, let them scorn.

These are their problems, not ours.

Let them cope with these by themselves.


And just do our best for our lives, our objectives.

All we need to do is just win in what we are doing right now.

Steel

There is no need to be afraid.

At some point, one would realize, 'Why should I?'

There is no need indeed.

Fear is caused by the illusion of mind.

It is purely subjective.

Once one transforms own inner being, one can destroy such illusion.

Have spirit like a sward of refined steel.

Unbending, unwavering, unconquerable.

Now

There is no use being afraid, sitting behind and entertaining worries and various thoughts on whether and how one can succeed.

Just do it now.

Start it now.

Think while doing it.

Courage is the most efficient, powerful and fulfilling strategy of all.

Courage

Never be afraid.

Just start what needs to be done.

Right now, right here.

It is never too late.

Just do it.

Fears that come up are illusory.

So have courage.

Courage is the only thing that breaks through absolutely any obstacles.

Efforts

At least, make efforts.

Even if these bear no fruit.

Even if the society never responds.

Even if anyone never cares.

Just do the best.

The very way to live fully per se  will bring about satisfaction in life.

Create something to the best of the ability.

If others scorn or ignore, let them do so.

Just live fully.

Just live the life.

Mission

Anyone, absolutely everyone, has some kind of mission in life.

Believe it, engrave it in mind, and pursue it.

One's life already knows what it is, what the one was really born for.

Difficulty

Difficulty can be a springboard for self-expansion.

For it presents opportunity to grow beyond the boundary of oneself.


Difficulty may entail internal struggles, at times with pains.

But at the same time, it indicates the presence of limitation in one's capacity.

These are the signs of positive changes to press the borders to a wider range.


'Difficulty' is at any rate based on the subjective estimation of a certain matter.

Therefore, if one grows strong and capable enough, it is possible to nullify the pain and distress caused by the problem.

One can even turn them into sources of positive changes and pleasure for meaningful, fulfilling life.

The problem will become no problem any more.

Here

There may be many restrictions in life.

Despite irresistible desire to go somewhere else, it may be difficult to do so.

One may feel impatient or helpless because of it.

But it is possible to do the best in given circumstances.

One can create something with the best possible quality right here, right now.

One can live well wherever she or he may be.

One can create maximum values in the very place where the one actually resides.

Dream

Just like growing plants and trees, appreciate and take care of own dreams everyday.

They may grow very slowly.

But everyday, they develop tiny changes, which can be sources of some little joy.

In society, people are competing with each other.

Even if having dropped out of it, do not be bothered.

Look at own dreams.

And do something to turn wee bits of them into reality, everyday.

Day after day, month after month, year after year.

It may be trivial and almost invisible to others for now, but can be with a steady, telling and solid sense of progress.

Just like growing plants and trees.

Steadfast

Do not be swayed by anger, self-hatred or other negative emotions.

Stay cool.

And accumulate what need to be done.

Steadily, firmly and single-mindedly.

Essence

Sometimes it is worth being absolutely honest with what one really wishes.

Put aside various 'important' matters that 'need to be considered.'

Just completely open the mind and be truly honest with self.

Through that thinking, some kind of essence can emerge, which is even to do with the raison d'etre of one's life.

Once such a thing is crystalized, one can hold a firm grip on own life with clear vision.

Reset

Real obstacles often reside in own mind.

Fears based on past experience hinder new challenges.

The fears even nurture defensive, conservative and timid attitudes.

They can make ourselves 'shrink' and become rigid endlessly.

Stop that vicious spiral.

Just forget about the fears as if nothing like these have existed at all.

If wanting to be something ideal, just be that.

Nullify everything negative, reset own mind, and just be it.

Spirit

Be strong and fight.

Have just that spirit.

Belief

There are people who try by only believing that they will definitely achieve.

There are those who attempt thinking that they may perhaps achieve, or maybe not.

There is huge difference in results between them.

Those with conviction and those with uncertainty - which will gain positive and successful outcomes?

It is obvious.

Only think of victory, successful achievement, goals accomplished.

Never think of and even imagine failure in the slightest.

Those who cannot achieve anything are in many cases simply with a lack of belief, which leads to weakness in hope, motives, intention and action.

Those with absolute conviction can generate hope, will and vitality and attract limitless resources from environment around them.

Even if having nothing, have conviction to win.

That is the essence to achieve everything.

Freedom

Release the creativity.

Remember the time when having absolute fun.

Throw away rigid fetters that obstruct free spirit.

Apply it to whatever challenge just ahead.

Never be captured by any restraints in mind.

Just be free.

Absolutely enjoy it.

And overwhelm everything that confronts and befalls us.

Just like the candescenct sun extinguishes anything around it.

Seeds

Do not stay silent.

Express.

Express something.

Create something.

Do something.

No action means no creation.

Nothing will be born from nothing.

At least, keep trying to make something come into being.

Something that exists can have potential to be a source of something wider and greater.

Even some words can become a seed for greater chance and achievement.

So rather than being resigned while doing nothing, just express, create or take action to make something to exist.

Changes

When stuck, it is better to start with parts that are easy to cope with.

Just like a jigsaw puzzle, try filling in wherever easy, and keep on doing it.

Gradually, various clues will emerge, which could not be recognized at an initial stage.

Just go on doing something about it, even if it feels nothing seems to move forward.

Just continue to do whatever possible.

Doing something at least means creating some changes.

Even though trivial, when such changes are accumulated, they can constitute a mass of something that did not exist before.

The collection of changes implies different state from that of current stagnation.

At least keep moving, keep on doing something, so that some kind of changes are created

For this can become the source of chances and breakthroughs to get over obstacles.

Fish

The people in this land behave like fish.

They are alert and agile.

And they are perceptive and susceptible to their own gains and loss.

They quickly come when they find something profitable.

And they try to take advantage and exploit it.

Once they find it useless, they swiftly go away as if nothing has happened.

They are like fish.

They watch everything, but pretend to see nothing.

They are like fish.

Fish are alert and agile, but no worth trusting.

Clarification

In order to achieve actual results while restoring confidence, strictly differentiate and screen out what one can do, has been doing and needs to do.

Rigorously minimize and clearly identify what to do.

A stalemate can come from a loss of direction due to too many ideas and concerns.

Downsize them, and concentrate on only what really need to be done.

Seeds

Any difficulties, problems, defeats, crises or adversities have seeds for greater victories.

The time of suffering is that of the very chance to find and plant such seeds.

Time

There is no time to waste for being trapped in negative emotions such as chagrin, anger, self-hatred, nihility and others.

Time passes quickly.

Change the state of mind, and use the precious time for something much more valuable.

No time to be bothered by anything unimportant and useless.

Shame

Those who can only value something materialistic such as money, social status, power, and other worldly success can never see the profound value of something invisible.

Shame.

Emotions

Emotions can not be thoroughly suppressed in the name of forbearance.

Especially, the accumulation of negative ones really sucks life, and twist, distort and tear the mind apart.

But, emotions at any rate imply some kind of force, which can create the movement of life.

The emotions need to be redirected into energies to drive life for something constructive, creative and positive.

Decline

The experience of being declined can affect a mind negatively.

It can make one feel as if one's quality, value or existence per se were totally negated.

The accumulation of it can indeed is unbearable.

But still, there is no option but to advance, move forward.

Despair may whisper into the ear the kind of the words that there is no point to go further or even go on living.

But we have to live.

We have to live through and survive to the end.

Dare to live own life.

And, continue to accumulate and complete what one has been doing.

One might feel as though being left alone in darkness whereas many others are laughing under the shiny sun.

Never mind them.

Just live own life, and do things in front.

Steadily create and build own things, and strengthen and sophisticate own qualities.

Dare to live and survive to the end.

And look around.

One will certainly realize one's own absolute victory.

History tells that those who survive and build an unwavering self is an actual victor.

Attitude

Even if doing the same thing, results can be totally different between those doing it with a sense of obligation and anxiety and those who find it amusing and therefore enjoy doing it.

The point is how one can generate such perception, emotion and attitude naturally.

At least, it is possible to try to have a mindset to enjoy in doing anything.

Appreciation

Find out own quality that is different from others' ones.

Add value on it or draw value from it.

For value comes from difference.

Being different is not something to be negated, but rather one to be appreciated.

Perception

What is disadvantageous can be an advantage.

When considered by removing value judgment, the disadvantage can be interpreted as difference or even uniqueness.

The fact that one is different from others means the existence of a gap.

A gap may be perceived negatively from one perspective or measurement, which is in fact not absolute.

By adopting other viewpoint, the very gap can be translated and utilized positively for one's advantage.

Here comes the application of one's creativity.

Disadvantage or advantage, defeat or victory, and unhappiness or happiness are up to one's attitude, perception and vigour.

Pleasure

One of the best and exciting parts of life is to work out how to take advantage of what people regard as adversity and turn it into the source of actual success and victory.

Commonality

Concentration and relaxation share something in common.

Switch

It is crucial to secure a moment to totally relax.

This enables one to see something different and even feel how petty or narrow interests one has been pursuing.

Rather than being trapped by an idea to do everything, remember what is important and truly satisfying.

Just focus on doing that first.

Competition is not everything.

Be the one who is unique, original and therefore indispensable.

Perception

Rather than dismayed and disappointed by people, observe them, and know them.

By detecting and understanding what they want and how they behave, it is possible to create maximum values in interacting with them.

One can acquire the art of dealing with them in manners to produce desired outcomes.

Never be swayed by emotions or trivial interests.

Stay calm, observe and behave with clear judgement.

Be flexible with mildness, but also with the unwavering foundation of self.

Wisdom

Everything is contained within own life.

Even if there seems to be nothing that can be done, there can always be wisdom for a way out or even to turn the impasse into dramatic change for a victorious result.

Such wisdom already and inherently exists within each of our lives.

In a moment of crisis or quagmire, it is crucial to activate such wisdom and life force, which definitely materialize an exquisite breakthrough.

Despair

Despair can help strengthen life.

Despair may cause inner anguish and nihilism, which even may deprive one of hope to live.

But still, one can turn this into a source for the overwhelming strength of life.

If one can generate a will to "dare to live," incredible strength will emerge.

For there is nothing to lose, and therefore nothing to fear.

Only thing needs to be done is just to live strongly and boldly.

Press hard, and dare to live.

This enables one to be invincible.

Mission

Anyone has got some kind of mission in life.

Something that they are born for.

When one realizes it, or simply is so much into it even without knowing, one can generate boundless power and satisfaction in entire life.

Ego

There are numerous people who are capable, intelligent and strong around the world.

But it seems that many of them only use these qualities just for themselves.

Just to benefit and protect themselves for their own sake.

Pity.

How pitiful they are!

No matter how capable they are, what they are doing are only trivial.

Egoism only produces little that has real meaning to the world.

They are wasting their own qualities.

Shame.

Recipe

No pain, no gain.

Only way is to generate some kind of strength or brightness, which nullifies the pains or turns them into the actual sources of joy.

Efficiency

Many people try to work out various schemes to be efficient in order to maximize beneficial outcomes.

But in fact, what is only needed is courage.

Courage to tackle problems squarely right here and right now.

Lengthy excuses to make clever schemes would only delay settlement and balloon costs exponentially.

It is often the case that behind such excuses is cowardice.

After all, courage is the best shortcut and the most efficient way of all.

Obligations

If we are discouraged by daunting tasks and obligations, think of the facts that their fulfillment and our efforts for them would be helping someone else.

A sense that we are helping others enables us to enhance the feeling that our actions are valuable and worthwhile.

This will strengthen our self-esteem as humans and facilitate motives to willingly take on the challenges.

Tasks

Any tasks to be done can be the sources of creation.

If the tasks are simply thought to be obligations, they easily discourage our motives to move forward.

It would be rather wise to see them as opportunities to apply our creativity.

Since the tasks often have fixed frameworks, our freedom would be limited.

But, this limitation can be the very chance to make full use of our creativity and inspiration.

We need more flexible mind.

We can rather take advantage of the limits and restrictions.

We can reorganize them in manners which are irresistibly amusing.

To think out what can be done for it per se can be a fantastic opportunity to fully maximize our creativity.

Limitation can turn into the source of boundless freedom and liberation.

Let the creativity fully blossom, wielding the free spirited ideas and intuition.

Be Bold

There is no need to be diffident or "modest."

Just be bold.

Be yourself.

Be confident, proud and convinced of yourself.

There are so many cunning people around there.

They just always try to take advantage at any moment.

So, no need to shy away.

No time and room to do that.

Just be bold and stand firm.

Just roar.

Like the crash of thunder.

Never retreat.

Just be bold and dare to press forward.

Alone

Never seek for allies or companions.

Human minds are unreliable.

Just stand alone.

Have absolute confidence in what one believes.

When firmly standing, joy wells forth.

Abundantly.

Ceaselessly.

When filled with confidence, enormous courage will emerge, and its actions will overwhelm anything.

If one becomes the solid core of the oneself, it will suffice.

People.

They will simply follow.

Just be own self, the unwavering self.

Heart

It is better to follow the heart.

Clever calculation may resolve issues temporarily.

But it will make things and life awkward eventually.

The mind might even be suppressed by that.

After all, a human can live only in the way one was born for.

Life itself knows what it yearns for and how to realize it.

Potential

Even if there seems to be nothing to be done.

Never give up.

Never stop.

There must be something which can be done.

Find them somewhere.

There must be somewhere.

Even if trivial, grab them and just do them.

Hopes remain anywhere.

Anywhere within own self.

Never lose sight of them.

Remember them.

Find them and polish them.

Until they shine like stars.

Anyone, absolutely everyone has power to find and revitalize them.

Life continues eternally.

There is always potential to open hopes and ways forward abundantly.

Absolutely for any one, at any time, anywhere.

Ahead

Even if at a loss, embarrassed or severely depressed, still we have to live.

We need to go on living.

We need to advance further, further, further, further, further and further ahead.

Even with unresolvable emotions, just press ahead.

Just push, press and mold the emotions and facts into something irresistibly desired.

Never retreat.

Even if we retreat, there will be nothing that will remain.

If there is nothing in back and forth, then, just go and advance.

Dare to generate power to advance.

Dare to create something from nothing.

People may scorn, criticize and despise.

Then, let them do so whatever.

Just create, dare to create actual facts, which no one can deny.

Just press, press and press ahead.
