Go even further.
もっと先に行こう。

 

We were not born to be mediocre. Each one of us was born as a genius; however, all talents need to be found and developed throughout our life.

Your genius is not always awakened in your childhood. It may take years, or decades, to unleash your genius. You might have overlooked many opportunities to become a genius because you don’t believe that you are a genius.

Strive relentlessly to awaken your inner genius—something that makes you completely different from anyone else on this planet. Create a life of greatness around it. You can do this. We all can do this.

 

 

Face reality.
現実に立ち向かおう。

 

We get the power to change reality only when we face it and take action toward something different.

Posting your complaint on social media wouldn’t be the action you want to take. It might change the world around you a little bit, but most of the time, it is too soft and indirect to make a real difference.

Don’t focus too much on a negative. Every situation has a positive and negative. Observe carefully, leverage a positive side, and turn a negative side into a positive one.

 

 

Do your workout.
トレーニングをしよう。

 

Although most of us are not a professional athlete, we all need workout because it makes us better—physically and mentally. But it doesn’t mean that we all need to do workouts like a pro. Walking outside for 15 minutes would be more than enough, or 10 push-ups would be sufficient, if you haven’t done it. The point is to do a bit of extra; go a bit further than your current limit.

And we had better not forget that our brain also needs workout, otherwise it will weaken. Regardless of your age, learn something new. Keep learning. You sometimes get upset or frustrated—like I did when I was brushing up on the basic of Final Cut Pro X—but that’s a sign that your brain is being redeveloped. Doing a bit of extra always works.

 

 

Do what scares you.
怖くなることをやろう。

 

I am going to start vlogging shortly.

Being filmed is one of the things that really scare me, because I hate seeing me talking and laughing—since my teens. It clearly shows that there is something wrong with my self-esteem.

And that’s exactly why I’ve decided to start vlogging—I really want to overcome my mental resistance, because to be scared is just to give up my power to do or change something.

I am creating videos for Japanese people right now, and here’s another thing that really scares me: vlogging in English. This will be the next thing I definitely have to try.

 

 

Reveal your true self & express it.
本当の自分をさらけ出して、表現しよう。

 

We all know that it is important for us to express ourselves.

But what is our true self? Do we really know our true self? What we think is our true self might be someone’s expectation. Or what we want to think is our true self. Or probably, just an illusion.

We can find our true self only when we are NOT self-conscious. Get out of your comfort zone, and see yourself as it is. Don’t judge anything. The only way to reveal your true self is to be true to yourself.
