Take heart, and do not let disappointment or shame stop you from moving forward. The true outcome of life is only apparent at the very end.
Daisaku IkedaPeople who are rooted in the here and now, who are not defeated by their limitations, who don’t compare themselves to others, who confidently advance along their chosen path-such people are happy, such people are truly great.
Daisaku IkedaCome on obstacles! I've been expecting you! This is the chance that I've been waiting for!
Daisaku IkedaThere are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.
Daisaku IkedaThe power of growth, of improvement, the power to overcome all stagnation and break through every obstacle and transform a barren wasteland into a verdant field - that unstoppable power of hope resides right within your own heart. It wells up from the rich earth of your innermost being when you face the future without doubt or fear: "I can do more. I can grow. I can become a bigger and better human being."
