In our daily lives, we constantly face pressure from various media and people around us, telling us that we need to “grow more” or “get closer to an ideal.” We often find ourselves comparing with others, feeling that we are “not quite there yet.” But let’s take a moment to pause and think: is that really true? Perhaps we are already “perfect beings” just as we are.

We live in a world filled with expectations and pressures from all directions—society, work, family, and sometimes even ourselves. There are moments when we think, “I need to be more like this,” or “I wish I could be like that person.” But is that really necessary? Today, let’s explore the theme, “You are enough just as you are,” and understand why this mindset is so important.

We usually perceive the world around us as “reality.” But what if you are the only one who actually exists in this universe? What if the people, stars, and the vast galaxies around you are all products of your consciousness, and the world you see exists solely for you? Let’s explore this mind-bending idea for a moment.

In our daily lives, we encounter a variety of events and interactions with people. It’s easy to get caught up in others’ opinions or how we are perceived. Whether it’s seeking approval from a boss at work or counting the number of “likes” on social media, many of us are influenced by external reactions. However, amidst all this, it’s crucial to remember that “how you feel is everything.”

Have you ever experienced wanting something so much that it eventually came true? Or perhaps, when you’re stuck in a cycle of negative thinking, bad things just keep happening? In reality, what we focus our attention on can significantly shape our reality. Today, let’s explore the theme, “What you focus on becomes your reality,” and how you can harness the power of your mind to create a better future.

We carry various emotions in our hearts daily, and among them, feelings of inferiority can significantly influence our actions and thoughts. However, accurately understanding the nature of our inferiority complexes is not always easy. Often, they remain hidden in our subconscious, subtly affecting our choices and behaviors. In this article, we’ll explore steps to help you identify the types of inferiority complexes you might be experiencing.

Our daily lives are filled with countless events and information. Sometimes, we get so caught up in work, household chores, or studies that we end up feeling exhausted. However, even in the midst of such busy days, those who can spend more time thinking about “fun things” are often the ones who live happier lives.

In the world we live in, countless events and relationships exist. Natural phenomena, human connections, work, hobbies, learning… Are these occurrences merely the result of random chance, or is there something like “connections” (referred to as “en” or “縁” in Japanese) working behind the scenes?

In Buddhism, there is a concept called “pratītyasamutpāda,” or “dependent origination.” It suggests that “all phenomena in this world arise from various causes and conditions (connections).” Our experiences, the people we meet, and everything we encounter happen because of the intricate web of “connections.” But how exactly do these “connections” shape the world around us?

In our relationships, most of us have probably felt, at one time or another, the urge to change the other person. Whether it’s a friend, partner, family member, or coworker, it’s common to wish they would “act differently” or question, “Why do they do that?” However, it is important to be aware of this simple truth: trying to change others will only cause you suffering.
