■ Message for January 1st

“If adults get serious, life can change significantly in just one year”

The words for New Year's Day begin with a very powerful declaration.
If you are even slightly dissatisfied with your current life,
you don't have to feel pressured to “change your whole life.”
Try living a different way in earnest for just one year—it is a message that encourages such resolve.

The “seriousness” spoken of here is not about grit or willpower. What is important is not to decide that something is “impossible” or “a hassle” before you even try, but to

actually try doing “things you were told are good” with the honesty of a child. It is said that this is the prerequisite for improving your luck
.

■ Today's Key Points

① Set a time frame
Thinking about “changing your life” feels heavy, but by setting a deadline of
“being serious for just one year,” the hurdle to taking action drops all at once.

② Change the quality of your actions
Being serious does not mean working recklessly. Changing your environment, changing the people you associate with, changing your habits—
continuing to make different choices than you have before
is what
“seriousness” truly means in this context.

■ Tips for Practice

First, start by declaring to yourself,
“If I am dissatisfied with my current situation, I will try hard to live a different life for this one year.”
and start from there.

Don't overthink it; honestly try and continue doing the
“things that seem good” that you are recommended. That accumulation will create
a major change one year from now and the flow of your luck.

At the start of a new year, why not quietly hold in your heart the resolution to
“try living in earnest for just one year”
?
