Inamori shared his views of “Bring your fullest energy everyday” with Seiwajuku workshop members. What Inamori said is referred with “”.
“Life is a drama and each person is its protagonist. The important thing is what kind of drama script you bring there. Some people may be just forced to follow the destiny, but by developing and changing your own mindset, you can envisage any script you want, and create the main character you want. According to the scenario you write, you can also play your Life in various ways. The final outcomes of the theater play are completely different between those who passively live in scenarios and those who act and live seriously their roles. By taking good care of yourself and bringing the fullest efforts every moment and every day, your life will change drastically.”
2 Experience the providence of nature (“laws of the universe”)
Let me explain one by one by referring to what Inamori said.
1 Treasure yourself
If you pass every moment and every day vaguely and unconsciously, that is the waste of your time. I believe that every one of us has the reason to be in this world. In other words, there is a convincing reason that the universe sent each one of us to this world. No one was born in this world just by chance. First of all, we should believe that each one of us is so important in this universe. We must think that our life is so valuable and great. Those who can’t see that value lose a lot of things in the universe. Passing a moment and a day unconscious and passive mode can be interpreted as -‘Ignoring your life’-. That’s my idea. We live each day meaningfully with fullest energy.”
→In our lives, we may have to go through various hardships and difficulties. For example, a child whose parents get divorced in his childhood, has to be raised under parents’ arguing and hating each other. Given the fact that the half of his DNA half comes from his mother and his father, that boy naturally has a sense of self-denial. He may think that he should not be in this world because he has something irritates his beloved ones: his mother or father. When such a feeling is nailed down under his subliminal mind, psychologically, it looks quite hard for him to develop self-confidence. However, this kind of mindset also drives him to work hard to demonstrate his reason to be. Such person spontaneously tends to show a capability in certain field. Those are the pros and cons of negative emotional trauma. Considering this, I think it is very important to enlighten the darkness in each person’s mind and make him realize the significance of his existence.
2 Experience the providence of nature (“laws of the universe”)
Inamori said, “One day, when I was watching TV, I watched a scene where plants were sprouting all at once in the Arctic tundra. Summer in the Arctic passes quickly, so they were making as many small flowers bloom as possible in the summer to make seeds. They get prepared to survive the cold winter. I was impressed with the fullest energy, which that kind of plants demonstrated. This scene allowed me to realize that we, as long as we are a part of creatures in the world, must live with the fullest energy as they were. As long as God gave us lives, we should live like that. I feel this is our mission given by the universe. That’s why I have been telling you guys that we must strive ourselves much harder than anyone else.”
→I believe that the same mechanism that Inamori mentioned as the providence of the natural world is embedded in human beings as well.
Those who experienced the divorce of their parents in their childhood tend to have the following mental traumas.
・I must not exist
・No one loves me
・I should not rely on others
・If you believe others, you must be betrayed.
Such a mental block can also be taken as a trigger to stimulate our instinct for survival.
For example, the block “I must not exist” permeates our subconscious minds. This leads to activate our instincts for survival. To demonstrate the reason to be, we excel at something or work very hard to develop our abilities in a certain area. Like the plants of the Arctic, we work hard to acquire some ability. The skills we acquire in this way will eventually benefit the world and help other people.
As I demonstrated above, we, human beings have a mechanism given by the universe to survive by completing our mission given by the universe. However, if you are unable to realize the meaning of your life, you are not able to resolve the trauma from painful experiences in the past. Emotional release is somehow effective in resolving traumatized subconscious minds.
At our company, through therapies, staff are releasing emotions every day so that our staff can realize the significance of their reason to be. This eventually leads to delivering the best performance in their work.
In summary, I think that by realizing the significance of one’s existence and becoming aware of nature’s providence (human instinct), we can develop an attitude of cherishing one’s own life and an attitude of delivering fullest energy every day.
