Health, economy, human relationships... How to break free from "future anxiety"

The word '迷' means 'confusion', and '妄' means 'delusion'. In other words, it refers to a state where the mind is in turmoil and is caught in confusion.

When things are tangled and you can't see the way forward, feeling as if you are trapped in a snare is what is meant by being 'in delusion'.

At such times, it is crucial to figure out how to open a blood path and find an escape route.

What is important at this time is to consider, "Am I denying my own potential? Am I binding myself?"

It is possible that there are mistakes in what you take for granted.

For example, there is the anxiety of employment. A person specialized in one job may fear, "I can't survive doing anything else," but at that moment, it is necessary to think, "Why do I believe I can only do this job?"

Is it really true that you can't do any other job? "Why do I lack confidence that I can make a living doing anything? Am I really such a coward?" I would like you to think about this.

Have you ever seen someone using a bulldozer to remove snow from a house roof?

In reality, that is not how it is done. What is done is to use a shovel, scoop by scoop, to remove the snow from the roof.

Even if the snow amounts to hundreds or thousands of kilograms when gathered, if it is just one scoop of a shovel, even a child can remove it. And eventually, all the snow on that roof will be cleared away.

Solving worries is indeed the same as removing snow from a roof. If left unattended for too long, it becomes a threat that can crush the house, but if you gradually remove it with a shovel, it is not that difficult.

This snow removal task is, in fact, about reflecting within the framework of 'one day, one life' and acting within that framework.

Considering how to make a life shine at its highest level becomes incredibly difficult, but thinking about how to make each day shine is not that hard.

There are also worries and confusions regarding health. There is anxiety about 'Will I get sick?' or 'Will I have an accident?'. This is a very prevalent way of thinking in modern times.

Currently, there is a trend where medical insurance and health insurance are taken for granted. While it is good that this is done from a social welfare perspective, if the premise is that 'it is natural for humans to get sick', then there is a significant mistake.

Humans can live their lives without getting sick very often. We must recognize that 'the concept of being sick often creates patients'.

The idea that 'if I get sick, I can just go to the hospital' or 'if I take medicine, I will be fine' may be good for very weak individuals, but it is also necessary to consider removing the medicine once.

Humans are originally born healthy, and the body is not designed to get sick that easily. With such strong beliefs, the body naturally becomes stronger.

For example, the gastrointestinal system becomes very strong when trusted, but if you constantly take gastrointestinal medicine without trust, it gradually weakens.

Therefore, when anxiety about health arises, it is necessary to find the part of the Buddha's child within yourself. The human body is originally not that prone to deterioration.

There are also financial and economic anxieties. This is the anxiety of 'What if money stops coming in?' or 'What if my income doesn't increase?'.

One reason for such anxieties is a lack of confidence in one's abilities.

However, there are countless jobs that generate wealth in the world. What kind of jobs generate wealth? Ultimately, they are jobs with high demand. 'If you do the work that people want, it will lead to wealth, but if you do work that people do not want, it will not lead to wealth.' This is a fact.

The times are always seeking something. People are also seeking something. It is about sensitively detecting this 'something'. By supplying what people desire, both the people and the individual can become wealthy.

The same goes for publishing books. If you publish what people want to read, it will definitely become a bestseller and not only nourish many hearts but also enrich the author.

The same applies to work. Jobs developed by observing 'where the demand of many people lies. What are people seeking?' will flourish.

The same goes for songs. If you release songs that people want to listen to, they will hit, but no matter how much you play songs that people do not want to hear, they will not listen.

Therefore, what is important is the ability and intuition to discover 'what is necessary. What is being sought?'. If you have this, the path will open up.

Those troubled by financial matters must constantly think, 'What is currently desired? What can I do to help people?'. If you think about that, economic problems can sometimes be easily resolved.

There are also entanglements in human relationships. This inevitably arises.

Entanglements arise from various associations in companies and families. The addition of a new person can sometimes divide the fortune and misfortune of life.

Therefore, there is the question of 'how to cut the entanglements in human relationships'.

However, the closer you are to someone, the more important it is to make the relationship wonderful.

In other words, you should not simply view others based on physiological likes and dislikes, but always consider, 'Isn't it possible to create even more wonderful human relationships?'

For example, even in the relationship between a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law, if you find each other's good points and praise each other, problems will never arise.

If the bride finds good qualities in her mother-in-law, she should praise her more and more, and if the mother-in-law sees good qualities in the bride, she should also praise her. This way, they can develop a relationship of love and respect for each other.

On the other hand, if they start to think, 'Is the other person going to harm me?' it leads to the opposite relationship. When the mother-in-law begins to say things like, 'Since the bride came, my son has changed. I got a bad bride,' the bride will also sensitively pick up on this and start to dislike and avoid her.

However, if she is told, 'You have a good bride,' the bride will feel happy and develop a sense of familiarity with her mother-in-law.

In the end, the saying 'The heart of the person who confronts is a mirror' applies here as well. To break the entanglements of human relationships, one should think, 'The image of the other person reflected in the mirror of my heart is ultimately nothing but my own image.'

Thus, to solve problems in human relationships, it is important to have the mindset of 'first giving to the other person,' 'giving a good evaluation to the other person, praising them, and helping them develop their good qualities.' If you do this, there may be times when you receive something in return from the other person.

In the end, to break the entanglements of human relationships, it is necessary to resolve them with overwhelming good intentions.

If you have a heart that believes in the future, what is important for individuals is not to worry too much.

Even if there is a possibility of bad things happening in the next 5 or 10 years, it is worse to worry about it for 5 or 10 years.

Even if bad things happen, once they are over, you can recover immediately, and it is not good to worry for years.

Also, dragging past issues and worrying too much is a problem.

If you have a heart that believes in the future, what you should do is to find the secrets to success in the present, today. It is important to 'take a step forward today.'

To put it in terms of shogi, it means 'to make a move today.' If you believe that the future is bright in a broad sense, you do what needs to be done within the framework of a day.

Of course, just one day will not lead to a checkmate in the game of life. Life does not reach a checkmate until the lid of the coffin is closed.

However, it is possible to make a move today.

Make a move today and advance your pieces. Think about 'which pawn to raise, whether to raise the silver, the gold, or the knight,' and make that move.

If you make a move today, you will definitely move towards the endgame. And while you may not know whether it will be a hundred moves or two hundred moves ahead, it will inevitably lead to a checkmate somewhere.

In short, it is important to 'believe in the future and make a steady move today.' I hope you can have that mentality.

To succeed, you must first visualize your ideal self who has succeeded in your heart.

Whether by train or by plane, there is always a destination. It is because there is a destination that you can move forward towards it.

If the destination is not decided, you cannot drive the train. The same goes for the airplane. If you do not know where you are going, the captain cannot operate it.

Within your hearts, there is someone who corresponds to the driver or captain. There is a consciousness deep within your subconscious that governs your own life.

If that consciousness is tragic, your life will be tragic, and if it is dark, your life will be dark.

You must always teach the captain of your soul within your subconscious, 'Which direction do I want to go?' It is important to embed your destination deep within your heart.
