When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism. Nothing important can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by some trifling matter, always looking over your shoulder and wondering what others are saying or thinking. The key to achievement is to move forward along your chosen path with firm determination.

Daily Encouragement

Posted on by SGI-USA Austin

Mr. Toda once told me: “You can make a defeat the cause for future victory. You can also make victory the cause for future defeat.” The Buddhism of Nichiren is the Buddhism of the true cause, the Buddhism of the present and future. We don’t dwell on the past. We are always challenging ourselves from the present toward the future. “The whole future lies ahead of us! We have only just begun!”–because we advance with this spirit, we will never be deadlocked.
