Smile.

Someday, 

everything will make perfect sense. 

So, for now, 

laugh at the confusion, 

smile through the tears, 

and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

- Paulo Coelho

If I Had My Life to Live Over.

If I Had My Life to Live Over

I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.

I'd relax. I would limber up.

I would be sillier than I have been this trip.

I would take fewer things seriously.

I would take more chances.

I would take more trips.

I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would perhaps have more actual troubles but I'd 
have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly 
and sanely hour after hour, day after day.

Oh, I've had my moments and if I had it to do over 
again, I'd have more of them. In fact, 
I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments.

One after another, instead of living so many 
years ahead of each day.

I've been one of those people who never go anywhere 
without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat 
and a parachute.

If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot 
earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.

If I had it to do again, I would travel lighter next time.
I would go to more dances.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
I would pick more daisies.

Look up.

We are heard but not seen.
We type and don't talk.
We read as we chat.
We spend hours together, without making eye contact.





I am guilty too, of being a part of this digital world...


So look up from your phone, shut down that display.
Take in your surroundings, and make the most of today.

When you are too busy looking down, you don't see the chances you miss.

◆Look up.

Vulnerable.

"Life changes for the better when we realize that we don't have to know everything and we don't have to pretend we do."

Allow yourself to be vulnerable.

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣

You don't have to know everything.

You don't have to be perfect.

Ask for help without feeling shame. 

Be open to others.

Life changes for the better with this single  lesson.

◆We don't have to know everything and we don't have to pretend we do.

Allow yourself to be vulnerable.

#As I Am.

Perfect.

◆You don't have to be perfect, you should try to be yourself.

I may not be able to be perfect.

Maybe I can't be perfect .

No one can be perfect.

I don't even know what perfect is.

 But, whatever I do I try to do my best. 

We can't be perfect, if we try to be perfect. But we can find our own perfect.

We should try to be ourselves.

Dreams.

Here are 

◆How not to follow your dreams.

1. Believe in over night success.

Your over night success story is always a result of everything you've done in your life ever.

2. Believe someone else has the answers for you.

No one else has the perfect answers for your life.

3. Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.

When you're growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.

4. Believe the fault is someone else's.

If you have dreams, it's your responsibility to make them happen. 

Be responsible for your dreams.

5. Believe that only things that matter are the dreams themselves.

Life is never about the goals themselves.

Life is about journey.

Stop thinking about life, and start living it.

Watch the video above, and follow your dreams.

30 days.

I always watch this on the first day of the month.

◆Try something new for 30 days.

Is there something you've always meant to do, wanted to do, but just ... haven't? 

He suggested,

Try it for 30 days. 

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣

This short talk offers you a very simple way to think about setting and achieving goals.

It's April.

Hello Spring.

Lots of people start a new life from today.

Let's make a new habits.

"Small sustainable changes" can change your life for the better.

"30 days" is just right amount of time to add new habits and subtract bad habits.

To go far.

There's an African proverb,

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣

◆To go fast, go alone. To go far, go together.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

So far,

I've been working hard to go fast.

I've been reading, thinking, writing...

I didn't contact with friends very much,

I've been always turned down invitations to create "my time".

Actually,

To achieve something, you need to create your own time and do something alone.

It helps you to achieve your personal goals fast.

But,

I think our goal must be something that makes someone happy.

Something makes the world a better place.

It might be more important  than your personal goals.

and,

It might be possible to achieve both making someone happy and making your dreams come true at the same time.

Let's go far.

Suits.

I had an opportunity to wear suits a few days ago.

Wearing suits make me feel like someone else.

When I wear suits, I'm a businessman or may be a teacher.

When I wear uniforms, I'm a sportsman.

When I wear backpacks, I'm a traveler.

◆What you wear does matter.

What you wear

How you look

You feel different and people judge you by that.

My favorite American legal drama 

"Suits"

I have to buy season 4!!!!

Can't wait 

Others.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.

So,

Love the people who treat you right, who believe what you believe,

and forget about others who don't.

You're not wake up everyday to inspire them.

Don't waste your time by living someone else's life.

Live your life.

Simple.

My lifetime mission 

To live as simple as possible.

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣

Here is my favorite talks.

＊Less stuff, more happiness.

＊Why I'm a weekday vegetarian.

We all know that having less stuff make us comfortable.

We all know that being vegetarian is better for the environment and for the animals. 

Give it a try.

Think simple.

Live simple.

Do simple.

Life is simple.

It's just people who make it complicated.

Keep it simple.

＊to Live well.

Start with why.

◆Whatever you do, start with why.

Do you know why you do what you do?

The purpose, cause, or belief 

that inspires you to do what you do. 

This is "Golden circle" that shows how great leader think.

Whenever you want to achieve your goal, 

Ask yourself 

●Why you want to do that.

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣

Then,

●How can you achieve the goal?

●What can you do to get closer to the goal?

Here is great talk by Sinon Sinek. 

Start with why.

Be a great leader.

Feel it.

Feel it.

Cherish it.

Appreciate it.

and...

You'll realize that you already have a lot of  precious things.

The things you can't buy no matter how rich you are.

Cherish every little things in your life.

Appreciate every second of your life.

and...

You'll realize you are fulfilled.

You were already blessed. Lucky.

Then, 

Do what you've always wanted to.

The things you've been thought you can not do because you are not fulfilled.

Start it, and people will cheer you, work for you.

The key to happiness is "to feel".

◆Feel.

→ Appreciate.

→ Realize.

→ Happy.

→ Give.(Try.)

→ Success.

→ Give more...

Shoes.

There's a "story" behind everything we use.

These are my shoes I'm wearing today.

I bought them 4 years ago and I still like them now.

They look old and dirty,,,

but I've been visiting various places wearing them.

I like them not because they are good design, but there's my story.

I remember the day they're delibered.

I remember the feeling traveled with them.

◆There's a story behind everything we use.

Think about it before you judge them.

＊This is a part of my travel (..with the shoes) ever.

 http://wherethehelliskeita.blogspot.jp/

I think I'm gonna start uploading this blog again.

Do it.

Start.

Do it.

We need it.

We need your crazy ideas.

Change our world.

Don't deny others.

Focus on what you can do to help them.

Creat a story to make the world a better place.

,,,,

"Yeah,but...."

I don't have enough money.

I don't have enough time.

I don't,,,

I don't,,

But...

Fuck it.

Just do it.

Don't make excuses.

Start where you are.

Use what you have.

Do what you can.

Do it, then fix it as you go.

Follow your heart.

....

(...Talking to myself )

Travel.

"Travel when possible"

Life is the train, not the station.

Share.

Great marketer Seth Godin said 

＊You are what you share.

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣

on his blog.

This is one of the reasons why I started Twitter and this blog. 

I think this also means,

◆You can be what you wanna be by sharing ideas that you believe or inspire you.

When you share complains or someone's bad behavior, it is who you are.

When you share great ideas to change the world, it is also who you are.

Share it.

Carpe diem.

◆Carpe diem

is my favorite Quote from my favorite film 

"Dead Poets Society"

meaning

 "Seize the day"

The message is..

Do what you wanna do NOW.

If you haven't seen it yet, rent it now. 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=wrBk780aOis

It will inspire you to follow your dreams no matter what the boundaries may be.

I've seen this film many times and never bored. I'm sure you'll like it.

O captain, my captain!!

Stay in the moment.

Zen(禅) teacher said,

◆The only way to true happiness is to stay in the moment and not worry about the future.

I've experienced Zen training 2 years ago.

This is where I went. →　Zen training in Kyoto, Japan

I really recommend you to experience Zen training once. You'll feel so much better when you finish.



Stay in the moment.


is the best way to be happy now.

Want to be happier?

One day.

One day you will wake up

And there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. 

Do it now.

- Paulo Coelho 

Paulo Coelho is my favorite author.

His uplifting messages always make me strong.

I'd rather regret what I have done than what I have not done.

and,,,

It's never too late to be who you might have been.

Keep in mind.

＊Be happy

＊Always tell the truth

＊Smile

＊Work hard

＊Help others

＊Use kind words

＊Travel when possible 

＊Never stop learning 

＊Be thankful always 

＊Try new things
