And what do you think is the reason for the extreme mental stress? Unable to accept instability Yes! it is the instability in society.

These changes create insecurity and random fluctuations within and around you. Thereby leading to stress. A stressful life is never a happy life.
In this article, I have brought down 10 Japanese mantras that emphasize accepting changes and achieving your goal. This will help you reduce fluctuations within yourself and gain inner peace.
Japan and social instability
Have you wondered why are we talking about Japan? Have you heard of a country that has faced so many ups and downs in the economy, human life, and belongings? They have lost everything due to atomic bombs and natural calamities.
Hope you remember the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This incident destroyed human life, their belongings, and many more. But Japan rose back after this incident. Not just that but also faced many natural calamities. Every time the Japanese people came back like a phoenix rising from ashes. Don’t you feel curious about what makes them strong? It is their strong principles that hold them through tough times.
Let us dive deep into each principle in future blogs. Now I will summarize the basic concepts. The principles speak about observing beauty in everything, accepting the transient nature of life, and moving on. Have a goal and reason to wake up fresh each day. Take baby steps towards success and do your job with absolute love and dedication. Success is a process and not destiny.
