We can make ourselves happier. We can make our world happier.
I liked reading the story since I was a child.
I had read a book almost every day.
I thought I wanted to live like the hero of the story.
One night, I realized,
Adults say to children, "Each person is the hero of life."
Then why is there so many people who make a complains?
Then why is there so many people who criticize someone?
One night, I realized,
Adults say to children, "Each person is the hero of life."
But a hero -like person can't be found around me
Is the hero of the real life different from the hero of the story?
One night, I realized,
The hero of the real life may be different from the hero of the story.
Then I decided I will live as the hero of the story, not as the hero of life.
One night, I realized,
There should be a way to live my life like a story.
There should be a way to live the story of my real life as the hero of my story.
One night, I realized,
If I live every day like the hero of the story, my life will be good.
Heroes of my favorite stories have rules that seem to be the hero.
One night, I realized,
Heroes of the story are all taking actions really not only speaking their vision.
They succeed in taking actions really instead of searching reasons why they do not act.
That is why they get the power as heroes.
One night, I realized,
Heroes of the story do not say bad things about others.
If they had said bad things at first, they stop criticizing others at some point.
That is why they get the power as heroes.
One night, I realized,
Heroes of the story have the thinking way of turning a pinch into an great opportunity.
They have so positive idea. Sometimes reader feel their thinking way is even too convenient for heroes. Heroes have such positive idea.
That is why they get the power as heroes.
One night, I realized,
That's it! That's it!
I just will live with these rules!
I can be able to get the power as the hero of the story.
One night, I realized,
Being a hero is not just living as they like
It's not just they believe they can do anything
But also, by using the rules, that is why they get the power as heroes.
One night, I realized,
Many people are not alive according with rules of hero or heroine of the story.
That is why they just can't live a dramatic and romantic story in real life.
One night, I realized,
Power as a hero. Rules as the hero.
Power as a hero. Rules as the hero.
Power as a hero. Rules as the hero.
Anyone can live as the hero or heroine of the story.
Since we were lucky enough to have been born, we ought to enthusiastically enjoy these lives.
The best way to do that is to live like a Manga Hero.
To do that, here are three points to follow.
① Create a signature phrase
Just like in a manga story, where the main character says a certain phrase he has adopted which makes the reader feel good and cheer him on, you need a “signature phrase”.
You don’t want to be ad-libbing such comments as you go along.
That’s too hard. It is better to decide on one and use it.
How about?
"Life is an unfolding story to be enjoyed."
Or, “Enjoy, no matter what.”
Use it both when you find yourself in a pinch and when you have conquered a problem.
You will be helped by it for you will no longer think of your life as a huge obstacle that you have no power against.
Feel the excitement and joy manga hero feels .
Taking this view of things will make your life easier and free you up!
② Use a Special Move
Anyone can feel unhappy, depressed, or useless.
However we shouldn’t waste time putting ourselves down for having them.
Instead, think of it in this way.
When you are down and out, blame it on the "Unhappy Virus".
Then, detoxify yourself from the infection.
Get rid of invader, it is not a part of you. Eradicate it from your life.
The Special Move is using your voice to sing the song I wrote. That will kill off the "Unhappy Virus."
Take the manga fantasy and make it real in your life. All you need to do is raise your voice in a song.
③Change how you think
When you are dealing with problems in your life, your way of thinking is vital.
Once, I watched a masterpiece of anime art form, It was a story done as continuing series.
I watched it over and over, five times from beginning to end.
In doing so I found this out.
There were plot twists in the story that made me think that main character was making an awful mistake.
I almost wanted to stop watching the series whatever that would happen.
But, in the end, the pinch the hero got himself into turns out to be a lucky break.
Through his unfortunate circumstances he might meet others who will become his allies who help him.
Or perhaps that bad circumstance will train him, giving him greater abilities or skills.
The trouble came, it is true, but not knock him down.
When I understand this and looked back on my life, I understood that, it was exactly the same for me.
There were no troubles that happened just to knock me down.
Yes, our real lives are the same as manga story!
At least they would be if we thought in this way and acted positively.
This was a big discovery for me.
In summary, if you have any problems in your life, think like this.
"I'm the main character of a manga story that has a happy endng !
The author of it who created me is definitely my ally!”
That's it. That is what I want to tell you.
That there are three points to follow if you want to live like a manga hero.
① Create a signature phrase
② Use a Special Move
③Change how you think
One morning I thought,
I shall decide what I will do, by a standard that is not whether I think I can or can not do it but whether I want to do or not.
One morning I thought,
It is not failing that I fear, but others seeing me fail.
One morning I thought,
So, if I quit caring about how others see me, I can live without fear of failure.
One morning I thought,
I will not live to be evaluated by others, I will live to be evaluated by myself.
One morning I thought,
I will not live so that others think I’m “cool”. I will live in away that I myself feel is cool.
One morning I thought,
What kind of person do I think is cool?
It's the person who feels cool even before he succeeds in his endeavors.
One morning I thought,
If “coolness” is dependent upon my success, in actuality it is the success, not me, that is “cool”.
If so, I'm not interested.
One morning I thought,
I will decide what is cool for myself.
If my “coolness” is in associating with people who are recognized by others, that coolness is not because of who I am but who they are. I'm not interested.
One morning I thought,
Before I succeed, I must succeed in "taking action".
That will be my big victory. Because many people don’t act in reality just in the thoughts of their heads.
Many people struggle with an accusatory nature.
They may constantly accuse themselves or accuse others of various faults.
Either of these behaviors come from same root. It is “Aggression.”
Think of aggression as something that has accumulated in our minds.
When “Aggression” accumulates, we suffer.
In order to get relief, even temporary, we began to fault others.
However, doing so does not reduce our tendency to be aggressive in this way. So, we still suffer.
Here's the good news!
We can detoxify ourselves from aggression with our voices.
We need a safe outlet for our aggressive nature which will often manifest in violent behaviors, prejudices towards others, or, even, war.
But we can alleviate our souls from such agressiveness by singing out a certain therapeutic song earnestly with our own voices.
The song? It is ”Enjoy & Love” - which Shun Shining authored.
This song will detoxify.
We can make ourselves happier.
And, by doing so, we can make our world happier.
In my twenties, I watched a lot of movies; so many, infact, you might have thought that that was my job.
The
reason I did so was to discover how to live my life in a way more delightful for
me than any movie portrays.
I
wanted to lead a life that would be more delightful than any movie.
This
was always on my mind.
For this reason, I had two important things to do.
First, I wanted to achieve that no one had done before.
Second, I wanted to accomplish it in a way that no one
else had ever done.
I
went on to compose my song.
・A song to contribute to world peace.
・A song to detoxify us from the aggressive tendencies in our hearts.
Just
making this song had been “delightful “ enough for me.
But,
when composing it, I made sure that the way in which I did it would be “delightful”
to me.
As
my song is a work of art.
So
the story I wrote is a work of love.
And
the life I lived in creating those two is also a work of great importance to me.
I
wanted to live in a way that would break down the barriers and limitations we
have ingrained in our heads.
I
wanted the way I lived my life to be integral in what would become my ultimate
work.
I wanted to realize my dreams in a unique way .
That would be a my idea of a delightful
life.
So, I didn't even think about partnering with some big company at all.
There had to
be a more “delightful” way.
Certainly,
partnering with donors in my pursuit is a normal things to do .
But, I thought that my doing things “ in the normal way” would not be the kind of life that would inspire others.
If I had done things normally the readers of my
as yet unwritten biography would not be freed from whatever holds them back.
I
never even thought to join a major music label and develope my music. I did not
want to do things in that way at all.
If
I had done things normally the readers of my as yet unwritten biography would
not be freed from whatever holds them back.
I believe that if someone has an idea and the courage to take action,anything is possible no matter what his situation is.
I
wanted to be a living example of that. If not how could my life turn out to be
like an inspiring movie?
May
young men be inspired to do even greater things than I.
May
young women do things I was never able to do!
In
the future may my readers be unbound to follow their dreams.
May
my work destroy all the silly limiting influences in their heads.
We
don't have to think “because I don't have ‘whatever’, I can't do it”
It
is not about what we don’t have, because anything is possible if you have an
idea and the will to take action.
Even
though you may be only one, there is much power in you as a human being.
