My 614th experience of chanting daimoku 10,000 times in the morning: Only daimoku was central to my success and I was able to make new progress and make new decisions!

I'm excited about the prospect of my life changing dramatically.

Today is January 25th. Since the end of the year, I have been thinking deeply about myself. Just as there are things we are usually conscious of (conscious mind) and things we are not conscious of (subconscious mind), I believe there is the world we see (the real world) and the world deep within our hearts (the roots of our hearts).

I feel that my daily prayers have shaken the roots of my heart, and new resolve is welling up within me. I have now decided to take on a big challenge to further increase my value as a person, based on a new approach to my work and new initiatives in local organizations. I am excited by the prospect of a big change in my life.
