Good morning. I hope you’re doing well today. This is Shima from Oubaitori.
This is Morning Daimoku — 10,000 Daimoku a Day journal, #1,205.
It’s Getting Cold
It’s getting cold, isn’t it?
Yesterday my wife and I went shopping together, and she bought me this fleece.
From now on, you’ll be seeing me in this every day. So — I hope you’ll bear with me. (laughs)
Even on Our Day Off
Yesterday was our day off.
Even so, I worked until about noon. And there were so many things that caught my eye.
Why? Because there are so many places my own attention just doesn’t reach.
What Am I Doing This Work For?
What am I doing this work for, right now?
This area of my work — its whole scope — am I truly giving it the care it deserves?
That one point.
Do I Notice, or Not?
Do I notice, or don’t I?
If I don’t notice, that spot becomes a hole.
If I do notice, I can fill that hole. I can make it better.
Improving Every Day — Transforming My Destiny
Improving, day after day, as I live my life. That, I believe, is what it means to fulfill my mission.
Changing myself. Improving myself.
That itself leads to transforming my destiny — and to the drama of my own human revolution. Of this, I’m convinced.
A Place to Show What I’m Worth
So much work is waiting for me again today.
It’s a place to show my own worth — the very reason I exist.
I’ll leap forward with joy.
I’ll press on with courage and unflagging effort.
Thank you again today.
Let’s Daimoku!
Thank you.
Today’s Question
Where is the hole you’ll notice — and fill — today?
Bloom your own way, at your very best.
