Daily Guiding Principles

No matter how difficult or painful the current moment may seem, or how desperate the situation appears, there is always a glimmer of light that will shine through.As long as one lives, there will always be a path to resolution that unfolds.There is undoubtedly a way to salvation.One can certainly escape the current adversity.Even to the most staunch materialists and atheists, God extends a helping hand.As long as one does not abandon the path to a solution with their own hands, or recklessly destroy it, anyone, regardless of who they are, can emerge from their suffering, grief, and dire situations.Through a guardian deity, be it family, friends, or unknown helpers, someone will always appear to assist.What I fear the most is ruining my own spirit with my own strength and giving up.As long as one steadfastly maintains a heart set on breaking through within themselves, it is indeed possible to overcome any obstacle with one hundred percent certainty.
Absolutely!

Being alone does not mean you are lonely.
Even among family, with friends, or even with a lover, there are quite a few people who feel lonely.
Loneliness refers to a state where the heart is not fulfilled.
Even living alone, those who find themselves useful for others in some way do not feel even a slight sense of loneliness.
If you do not want to be lonely, the key is to devote yourself to others, no matter what it might be.

Now, people all over the world have begun to pray the "Prayer for the peace of the world," transcending borders, races, ideologies, and religions.
For humanity, which had lost sight of its destiny, ideals, and dreams, this is a groundbreaking event, unprecedented in history, and can undoubtedly be described as the great guidance of God that we have been longing for.
Let us each polish our inner selves and brighten our spirituality so as not to fall behind in "the laws of the universe."

Please take a close look at those praying the "Prayer for the peace of the world". Notice their faces, their actions, their way of life. They are filled with an undeniable confidence. They radiate joy. They appear immensely happy. This is a divine blessing granted only to those who live a fulfilling life. There is no need for any justification. Simply believing in God is all that is required. That's all there is to it. By silently devoting yourself to the "Prayer for the peace of the world" as God instructs, that alone is sufficient. Eventually, you too, might find yourself among their ranks.
