-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's pour all our energy and effort
into challenging and realising the goals that we have set for ourselves!
The Gosho encourages us that "Winter always turns to spring".*
Continual and unceasing effort is the very wellspring
that wil help us realise every single victory!
*Gosho, Winter Always Turns to Spring - WND-1, page 536, "Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"...there's no need to be anxious and question one's self-worth, making negative comparisons with others. Of course, there are also bound to be times when things don't work out as one had hoped, or when one's self-confidence falters.... the Mystic Law, which has the power to 'change poison into medicine,' can transform any suffering into joy."
SGI Newsletter No. 8432, The Joyful Springtime of the Ikeda Kayo-kai, from the February 2012 issue of Daibyakurenge, translated Jan. 20th, 2012
