A prescription for a tired heart! Comforting words that will support you (11–20)
Some believe that clinging makes you stronger. But sometimes, letting go is what makes you strong.NEW!Hermann Hesse
Persevering without giving up in anything cultivates strong mental fortitude.
Yet sometimes, letting go itself can be what leads to strength.
That is what the writer Hermann Hesse tells us.
Letting go of something seems simple, but it is difficult.
If it is something precious, you will waver all the more.
Precisely because of that, if you can find the courage to decide to let it go, you will grow once again and become stronger.
This quote both makes us consider what we truly need and gently acknowledges and accepts the sorrow and pain of letting go.
Think not of today’s failures, but of the successes that may come tomorrow.NEW!Helen Keller
These words teach the importance of looking to the future rather than the past.
When people fail, they often think, “If only I had done this back then…” That’s natural in a sense, and it’s important to reflect, identify causes, and apply the lessons next time.
However, it isn’t good to keep replaying failures and letting them become fixed in your memory.
Instead of dwelling too much on an unchangeable past, keep a positive mindset and pour your energy into succeeding at the next opportunity.
Failure is a necessary experience that guides you toward a better future.
There are, of course, days when your heart hurts.NEW!Ma Rainey
All kinds of things happen in life.
At times you’ll be struck by misfortune that makes you wonder, “Why is this happening?” You may feel it’s unfair, but that’s life—there’s no use lamenting it.
I feel that this quote by blues singer Ma Rainey teaches us the importance of accepting life’s daily ups and downs just as they are.
Bad times don’t last that long, so there are simply days like that! Remember this quote and try to get through them.
Do what you can, and then just worry quietly in your heart about the rest. Things will only turn out the way they’re going to anyway.NEW!Katsu Kaishū
After you’ve given everything you’ve got, all you can do is hope for success.
As Katsu Kaishū’s famous saying teaches, if there’s nothing more you can do, you just have to stay calm and let things take their course.
Being able to do that comes from having done all you can and having no regrets about the time you’ve spent.
Being able to feel that way is itself a kind of success, and an experience you need.
If you can say you’ve poured out all the strength you have, be proud of yourself no matter the result.
The key to resisting stress is being moved—above all else. And it’s also the secret to a long life.NEW!Shigeta Saitō
There are times in our daily lives when stress and fatigue build up, aren’t there? This quote is from Shigeta Saitō, a psychiatrist, essayist, and honorary director of Saitō Hospital.
Being moved or deeply touched can ease the stress in your brain and help relax your mind.
In your current surroundings, recall small joys, good things that happened, and moments that moved you, and allow yourself to feel happy.
In a world often called a stressful society, this may be a quote that gives you courage.
If you fail, you can try again. If trying again doesn’t work, think it through once more and try again.NEW!Konosuke Matsushita
This quote teaches us that failure is a necessary experience for success and not the end of things.
These are the words of Konosuke Matsushita, a Japanese entrepreneur known as the “god of management.” From this saying, we can sense that even he, a successful figure, went through many failures and overcame them time and again.
When you feel your spirit may break after a major failure, or when repeated failures leave you on the verge of giving up, these words will support you.
It might be just right to think of failure as a chance to try something new and inventive.
Happiness is always decided by your own heart.NEW!Mitsuo Aida
Everyone wants to meet expectations and be praised, right? But if you focus only on others’ voices, before you know it your heart can become exhausted and you may lose sight of yourself.
This famous quote by Mitsuo Aida reminds you of something simple yet easily forgotten.
What does happiness mean to you? Try thinking about it without the voices around you.
Listening to your heart and following it honestly is nothing anyone should blame you for.
You can just be yourself.Mother Teresa
Seeing this quote from Mother Teresa, many people are likely reminded of “Let It Go,” the theme song from Disney’s smash-hit animated film Frozen.
It’s natural to some extent for students to act like students and for working adults to act like working adults.
However, it’s also true that outdated conformity pressures—like “men should be strong” or “women should be demure”—still persist.
Without being swayed by assumptions or prejudice, we should strive to be our true selves, just as these words suggest.
It’s an empowering message that even brings to mind Mother Teresa’s gentle smile.
Beyond the clouds, the sky is always blue.Louisa May Alcott
Ms.
Alcott, the creator of Little Women, a story that has been adapted into films and dramas many times in various forms.
Some of you may have enjoyed reading it in your school library or on the train during your commute.
Her words here feel as if they’re encouraging us with the message, “Tomorrow is a new day.” Sometimes, when a plane takes off from a rainy airport and breaks through thick clouds, the sky suddenly opens up bright and blue.
Life is much the same—there is no sky that stays overcast forever.
Just like this famous quote, may your tomorrow be clear and sunny.
Don’t push yourself—take a rest. Recovering your energy is part of the job, too.Hiromu Arakawa
Hiromu Arakawa is a manga artist who has released numerous popular works such as Fullmetal Alchemist and Daemons of the Shadow Realm.
In Silver Spoon, the series she serialized from 2011 to 2019, the heroine Aki Mikage’s mother says the following.
Working hard is important, and it’s necessary.
However, if you push yourself too far and your performance suffers—or in the worst case, you collapse—then it’s all for nothing.
She teaches us that in order to work hard, it’s also important to take proper breaks at times and recharge.
