Let's become people who think about everyone's happiness【Words of Light】

Among you, there may be children who are studying and working hard in sports thinking, "When I grow up, I want to achieve great success."

This time, I want to talk about something important for you.

To achieve great success, it is important to have the mindset of not just having goals for yourself, but to think, "Let's unite our hearts and combine our strengths to realize some ideals."

This is something that is absolutely necessary for you to achieve a number one success that anyone would look at and think, "That's amazing."

So, what is necessary to unite everyone's hearts and combine our strengths?

That is the "heart of love." It is important to have a heart that loves others.

For humans, there is nothing more joyful than being loved by others. It is, after all, a very happy thing, and being loved by others brings happiness.

Therefore, everyone actually wants to be "loved by others." The desire to be "respected" and to work hard in studies and sports is also related to this. The feeling of wanting to be "respected by others" is one aspect of the desire to be "loved."

Everyone is making efforts because they want to be loved, but in the process of making efforts, if they put others down, they often end up being disliked and alone, which is the opposite of being loved.

When a person likes another person, there is a "Golden Rule." That is, "Do things that make the other person happy." Everyone likes those who like them and loves those who love them.

Therefore, when there is someone who is trying to make many people happy, others want to make that person happy too. That is the essence of being human.

※Essence... here refers to the inherent qualities.

Do you think you would want to make someone who is trying to make you unhappy happy? Do you think you would want to make someone who harbors hatred towards you happy? What do you think?

After all, you would want to love those who love you. If there is someone who wants to make you happy, you would want to cooperate with that person.

So, instead of thinking, "Let's use people for my own sake," if you truly have the feeling of "Let's improve others. Let's make them happy. Let's make the world wonderful," then people will come out who say, "Let's work together and combine our strengths."

It may seem the opposite, but "Instead of thinking about becoming happy yourself, think about making others happy. If you do that, you will become happy." This is undoubtedly true.

However, in reality, when you truly come to love making others happy, you stop thinking about your own happiness and feel, "I'm just doing this because I like it."

Then, before you know it, you find yourself becoming happy. It's a mystery that even without thinking, "I want to make myself happy," you naturally become happy.
