"'Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy.. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever.'

From "Happiness in this World "(WND–1, 681).
"Perseverance is strength. Through a steadfast practice of morning and evening gongyo, we can manifest incredible power. Gongyo is the rhythm of happiness and victory, enabling us to experience the 'joy of the Law' as boundless as the universe itself.
"Life is full of ups and downs. But by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, regarding 'both suffering and joy as facts of life,' we can transform everything into a hope-filled drama of human revolution.
"Let's start the day with even stronger prayer, determined to win again today!"
Advancing with the Gosho (2), [51] Human Revolution Starts with a Steadfast Practice of Gongyo, from the January 19th, 2019 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released March 2019.
