The Force that Leads to Victory

Those who say, “I’ll Do It,” who are willing to take on a challenge even if the are alone, are true winners.  The determination, the commitment to take action yourself, is the force that leads to Victory…Our mind or attitude can change everything…

~ Daisaku Ikeda

 I love this quote because its like I can hear Daisaku Ikeda cheering me on as I step out and do something that is outside my comfort zone.  As a Bonus Mom, taking on the challenge to step up and be a mom to my husband’s son is a win-win-win situation for us.  It takes courage to be a stepmom.  It takes courage to say “I’ll do this…”  And the day I decided to relinquish my hostility and re-engage with my stepson was our first step towards Victory…because I changed my attitude…and in changing my attitude, I changed everything.

What one thing can you do today that just may lead you to Victory?

Can’t wait to hear from you!

Determination, Commitment, Victory

Those who say, “I’ll Do It,” who are willing to take on a challenge even if the are alone, are true winners.  The determination, the commitment to take action yourself, is the force that leads to Victory…Our mind or attitude can change everything…

~ Daisaku Ikeda

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative (and creation).  There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too.  All sorts of things occur to help on that would never otherwise have occurred.  A whole stream  of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.  Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Begin it NOW.

~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

When our determination changes, everything else begins to move in the direction you desire.  The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being immediately orient themselves toward your success.  On the other hand, if you think, “This is never going to work out,” at that instant, every cell in your being will be deflated, giving up the fight.  Everything then will move in the direction of failure.  I want you to understand the subtle workings of the mind.  How you orient your mind, the kind of attitude you have, greatly influences both  yourself and your environment.

~ Daisaku Ikeda
