Thoughts are upstream of methods!

Thoughts are upstream of methods!

On a personal note, I have been "running" lately!

Positive thoughts come from a physically fit body.

Jogging and marathon running are really a battle against my feelings (mind).

I can never run a long distance thinking, "That's enough for today.

If you don't make up your mind to run this distance from the beginning, you will end up saying "Oh well..." halfway through.

I'm fighting against myself.

It is a battle against yourself. It is similar to business. 。。。。

When you are weak, you look at everything negatively. When you are physically strong, you can be positive.

Is that why businessmen work out?

In fact, my business friends, "the president of a flower shop," "the head of an investment fund," and "the president of an IT company.

They are all older than me but tough. They do triathlons every year.

Thoughts (feelings) are upstream of methods.

Feelings are important. You can come up with any number of methods. If you want to.

However, only you can change your feelings. Only you can change your feelings.

Before methods, strategies, and tactics, it is necessary to cultivate the mindset of motivation.

Life is a place to put one's mind.

A quote from Tenpou and Shakespeare.

Life can be changed in any way by one's mind.

Is it to the right or to the left? Up or down?

In the camps of Auschwitz, people are slaughtering their friends and acquaintances day after day,

In a situation once created by mankind, there is no doubt that in terms of having hope

Viktor Frankl experienced the worst of all worlds.

As you can read in his book, Frankl also says

My feelings are my own and mine alone.

No German officer can force me to think how I think.

He can force you to act, physically force you, but he can never force you mentally.

Freedom for oneself alone.

The freedom to think, the freedom to think.

In the environment of Auschwitz, Frankl continued to live, always with this "freedom" as his hope.

It is amazing!

Kimiko Date has returned to active duty. Wonderful! I would like to applaud her, even though she was the runner-up.

It has been 12 years since her return to active tennis. She says she wants to revitalize tennis in Japan.

Since her retirement, she has been involved in various activities to expand the horizons of tennis.

He coaches small children's tennis, gives lectures, and does many other things.

I don't know, but I think it would take more than various grassroots activities to revive the tennis industry in Japan.

To resuscitate it with shock therapy,

If you work hard, you can do it even after 12 years!

I recognized that it is important to prove it and make a lot of kids want to be like Mr. Date.

And to make a lot of kids who want to be like Mr. Date.

That is exactly what he proved this time.

This is also a matter of feelings.

The sports news that day featured this news about a retired professional baseball player who has only been playing for a few years.

A professional baseball pitcher who had only been retired for a couple of years and two former J-Leaguers said to each other.

"That's amazing. It takes time to build up your body.

It's been three years since I quit, but I can't do it."

It's a matter of feeling.

The place where people think is the head, the brain. Where are feelings located in the body?

When people talk about the problem of feelings, they refer to the chest. Is this an oriental way of thinking?

Do you think there is something different from the brain?

I'm not a neurologist, so I don't know the details, but in any case,

I am not a neurologist, so I don't know the details, but in any case, they seem to want to think that there is something different about "feelings" from "thoughts.

I think that is the most important thing.
