Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

A nurse who cared for many terminal patients has observed, "Ultimately, people only die as they have lived." To die happily is therefore extremely difficult. And since death is the final settlement of accounts for one's life, it is when our true self comes to the fore. We practice faith to live happily and also to die happily. One who has faith in the Mystic Law will not die an unhappy death.

One thing is certain: That is, that the power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of what we believe and conceive of it. If you really believe you can do something, you can. That is a fact.
Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (1957) p. 363
In the evening, a corps chiefs meeting in preparation for the Sixth Youth Division General Meeting. The meeting, a meaningful one, lasted until after 8:00. If they maintain the same degree of earnestness as today, then according to the concept of 'consistency from beginning to end,' the general meeting ought to be a great success.
An important cause for victory is determined by the progress of the planning phase.
