Don't get lost in choosing and acquire a "heart to believe"
Instead of looking for the "right choice," acquire the strength to believe in the choice
In today's society, which is full of information and diverse values, we are always faced with choices from small decisions in our daily lives to the crossroads of life, such as going to school, getting a job and getting married.
However, while they can make their own choices freely, their freedom gives rise to doubts and worries, and there are many people who sometimes regret their choices.
However, the author argues that there is no way to know what was a "good choice" at that time, and even if there were mistakes or failures, the only "right answer" is to think that "I am what I am now because of that choice."
He also says that "believing" is necessary to be confident in your choices and to enrich your life.
The author, who manages a religious corporation in Kitakyushu and has been close to the sufferings of many people for many years, says that through the teaching of Shinbutsu (God and Buddha), by valuing the "spirit of belief" in daily life, it will help to face various difficulties in life.
It is based on the valuable wisdom that our ancestors have accumulated and passed down in our daily lives, and it is said that learning from this will foster confidence and courage and will enable us to move forward vigorously in our lives.
This book presents the author's ideas in line with specific situations, from how to resolve human relationship worries to guidelines on choices in work and marriage.
In addition, we explain in an easy-to-understand way the power of "a heart to believe" that can be nurtured in daily life by discussing the essence of love and life and the way of better "life" with much of the actual experience of the consulter.
The author says, "What we need today is not a complex theory or strict rules, but a simple and powerful 『 belief 』."
For all people, this book contains tips for believing in your judgment and growing up as you live your future life.
