Attitude

As long as complaining that nobody would listen, the situation would never change.

Once one decides to settle and 'lead' matters at one's own initiative, things will turn around.

One can even become able to guide and help others with confidence and shape a future at will.

Cowardice

After all, the source of lingering troubles, suffering, depression, defeats, difficulties and so forth is cowardice.

Cowardice is a sole and the very core of the problems.

By crashing and eliminating the internal weakness, one can overcome and clear out any difficulties ahead.

Medicine

Sometimes, worries, fears, desolation and other negative feelings may start prevailing in one's mind.

But, never let them do so.

Stand firm, stay cool and laugh off.

Then, the negativity will run away.

Positive attitudes, especially laughing wholeheartedly, constitute good medicine to cure them.

Stay away from negativity.

And, dare to be courageous with a sense of joy.

Lessons

In the time of failure, we try to draw a lesson in order to avoid a similar mistake.

But we need to be careful not to overgeneralize the lesson.

For it has a danger of rigid application to any cases and evade challenges unnecessarily.

It can have a setback to shrink the areas of possible challenges and thus limit the potential to succeed, expand and grow.

Rather than applying the idea to all the matters equally and identically, it is better to see them respectively.

We had better to consider and deal with issues in front case by case.

We need to flexibly change ways to apply lessons and experiences in order to make the best of each case as something unique.

That way, one can taste the abundance of potentials and enjoy the variety of developments in life.

Now

If there is something wished to be realized, try it now.

Now is the time and not any time later.

If wondering maybe one day, the day would never come.

It would no longer come true.

If one cannot do it right now, one can never do it anyway.

Now is the time, only a chance to try.

Even with no confidence, just try the best to mobilize whatever one has.

After all, life is always like that.

Most of the time, we are short of what are needed to settle matters in front.

But, one has to challenge them with what one has.

So, try it now anyway.

Human being is not a machine.

A machine only does what is programmed and no more.

But, a human has potential, which is not quite calculable and possibly limitless.

Probably, it would be the very time to expand the potential when one is trying the best in the face of own limitation.

So, try it now.

The very chance to realize hopes and dreams is created in such a challenge.

That can be done right now, right here.

Solidity

In any attempt, it is important to keep asking a fundamental question again and again.

Why doing this?

For what?

The deep awareness of the rationale will generate firm confidence in own action.

The more the awareness reaches the core of own being, the stronger one's commitment will be.

This will constitute the very source of powerful performance.

If the motive of an action is ambiguous, utilitarian or egoistic, it will tend to lose a solid ground, and thus the action will easily waver in the face of changing circumstances.

Assertive

Be assertive.

Be strong.


Just be that.

No need for excuse.


Just say what needs to be said.

And, do what needs to be done.


That is enough.

Just be it.


Then, everything is fine.

As simple as that.

Body and Mind

For sound thinking, sound physical health is essential.

Creative ideas stem from a healthy and refreshed body.

Likewise, depressed thought is often due to an unhealthy body.

One's body and mind are intrinsically connected.

They look two, but essentially could be one.

Art

It is crucial to learn, develop or create some kind of art to induce or transform emotions into positive, constructive and creative outcomes.

Human being possesses various emotions, which arise and change in accordance with numerous circumstances, interactions, connections, disconnections and so forth.

They can be anger, joy, sorrow, despair, pride, arrogance, fear, suffering, courage to name a few.

They could be either positive or negative.

But at least, they have some sorts of energies that drive our life toward certain directions.

The point is how one can use them, how one can direct these powers to positive, successful, great and happy results.

One needs to know the art of it.

This is a key for everything.
