-Believe in Yourself in the End- [Yoko Ono (Artist)]

Thank you for reading my article again today!

Even now, somewhere in the world, "famous quotes" are being born. Among them, what kind of famous quotes have been left behind by great Japanese figures?

I have always loved famous quotes and great people, and as a hobby, I have researched many of them. The number of quotes I have seen easily exceeds 1,000.

Using that experience, I am writing this note for those who "want to get energy from famous quotes," "like great people," and "want to learn from the experiences of past great people and change themselves now."

In this note series,

I will introduce one by one the "100 famous quotes" said by Japanese people, which are listed in "Teachings of Predecessors x Wisdom of Sages: 100 Japanese Famous Quotes" (Sogo Horei Publishing Co., Ltd., Author: Mr. Susumu Kimura).

In doing so, I have written the "introduction of the quote," the "meaning and background of the quote," and "how to apply it in real life." I believe that a quote only has true meaning when you hear it and apply it to your real life.

I hope that when you hear a famous quote, you will also think about how you can apply it to your real life and make use of this note.

Now, let's get straight to the explanation of the quote.

[Yoko Ono (Artist)] Famous Quote

Meaning and Background of the Quote

The one who decides in the end is always yourself.

Even if you are instructed by someone, it is you who decided to follow. It is also you who decided to give up, and it is you who decided to stick to your will.

I do not force people to have dreams. However, in order to live, a "goal" is necessary.

That goal can be decades away, next year, or even tomorrow.

I want you to write down how you want things to be, what is necessary for that, and what you can do.

By doing so, what you need to do right now will become clear.

If you are worried about "what should I do?", you cannot move forward.

Since only you know the path you should take, you must simply follow the voice of your heart.

Yoko Ono, along with her husband John Lennon, engaged in peace activism with the theme of "believing in the power of affirmation."

She has continued this activity even after Lennon's death.

It is said that Ono had a very positive personality. Always forward-looking, she also left the message, "Enjoy life as much as you can. Don't even think about whether it's truly fun or not."

I want to believe in the voice of my heart and walk a life that I can look back on and think was fun.

How to apply it in real life

From here on, I will talk about "what should you do if you were to apply this quote to your real life?"

If you were to apply this quote to your real life, it would mean "starting what you truly want to do right now".

This is because things you intended to do someday will never actually get done.

I have experience with this as well.

That's what I used to think. What was the result?

In reality, I almost never did those things. Even Osamu Hayashi said it.

"When will you do it? Now!"

In fact, since you will never be younger than you are right now, the secret to not regretting your life is to start what you truly wanted to do today.

I also started my own things I wanted to do:

・Try living with a 50% savings rate for one month
・Go to a personal training gym and get lean and muscular

I started challenging myself with these in January.

Once I started challenging myself, a little bit of excitement was added to my monotonous daily life, and I feel it is fun.

In conclusion,

Start what you truly want to do right now

I think this is how to apply this quote to real life.
