It's ok to start with something small.

will lead to the building of
a glorious personal history.
Come, let's embark upon our new challenges
by taking that first courageous step!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Words echo the thoughts of the mind and find expression through the voice' (WND-2, 843). When we write down our thoughts they become written words, and when we speak them, they become our voices.

"When you write or voice your thoughts in a spirit of friendship, justice, or peace, even if you think you're not good at expressing yourself, your words will definitely reach people's hearts."
