○ The Concept of a Connected Life: The Power of Living in the 'Flow' Taught by March 22nd
Getters Iida's book "Stories That Improve Your Luck 365 Days a Year" contains
a message for each of the 365 days of the year, tailored to that specific day. It is a book that
gently reminds us of important perspectives that we often
overlook in our casual daily lives.
I myself open this book as a daily morning habit and accumulate
small realizations.
At the start of the day, I hope this becomes a time for you to center your heart, even just a little.
This time, I have summarized the content that left an impression on me from March 22nd, "Because there is a past, there is a present, and because there is a present, there is a future."

■ Summary of the March 22nd Message
The theme for this day is the idea that
"Living with gratitude for what has been inherited and with the intention of passing it on to the next is the essence of life."
.
"Because there is a past, there is a present, and because there is a present, there is a future." As these words suggest, the past, present, and future are not disconnected, but are linked as
a single flow.
We live while
receiving many things from our parents, predecessors, and those around us. It is said that
handing over what we have received to someone else next—that
life is like such a 'relay'.
And it is indicated that the more one is a person who can be grateful for the present moment, the more one will be able to
seriously think about 'what should be connected next'.
■ Main Points
・Life is something to be 'inherited and connected'
It is considered that the
essence of life is to entrust what you have received to the next person, including not just money and achievements, but also wisdom, experience, values, and kindness.
・Gratitude for the present creates the 'next'
By being grateful for 'what exists now' rather than just being dissatisfied with the status quo,
actions and choices that lead to the next become visible.
・Affirming the 'past' allows you to affirm yourself
By accepting past events and detours as essential materials for connecting to what comes next,
you can more easily affirm your own life.
・Actions change with a 'perspective of connecting to the next'
Rather than completing things on your own, by thinking about
'who to pass this to and how' or 'what can be left behind', the
quality of your work and relationships will also change.
・Luck gathers around those who 'pass the baton'
It is suggested that there is a flow where people who don't just receive, but pass things on to the next person with gratitude are the ones who
attract connections and opportunities.
■ In closing
Even though we seem to live alone, we are actually living by
receiving 'batons' from many people.
And, how we connect that baton to the next—perhaps that is where
a person's unique way of living is revealed.
May today be an opportunity to think about
'what I am receiving and what I am passing on'
