“True happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances.” -Daisaku Ikeda

We will all come up against adversity in life. If you pin your happiness to everything always going right, you’re in for a lifetime of hurt.

No matter how well you prepare, you can’t fully control the future. The only thing you can control is how you respond.

That’s what defines you as a person. Not the circumstances of your life–the highs and lows we all go through–but how you choose to deal with it all. Whether you get negative and let it overpower you, or stand strong and  move forward with courage and grace.

How can you forge a strong spirit today?
