What is your mantra? Is there a #word or #phrase that #inspires and #motivates you? Many Buddhists chant #mantras or have them sounded internally in one’s thoughts. They are either repeated continuously for some time or just sounded once. Mantras can keep our mind awakened with a crystal clear #vision of our lives and world filled with #love and #positivity . A #mantra can #motivate us to keep working on a practice that helps us maintain our positive #lifestyle .
Of the many #practices I do to keep myself #happy and motivated, it’s amazing how this simple #practice of speaking your mantra daily can boost your entire your day. For example, my mantra is “gratitude.” Gratitude is a practice in itself. I learned how to be #grateful from my mom since I was a little kid. She would always be telling me about how good and useful certain products are. While driving, she would compliment on how smooth a road was. From the moment I wake up, I tell myself, “I’m grateful to be alive.” I’m super grateful to be able to strive for all kinds of ideas. I’m extremely grateful for all my loved ones. On my bad days, by focusing on all the things I’m grateful for, I’m able to get some wins. In fact, my suffering has played a role in expanding my gratitude, which I wrote about in previous posts.
Pictured on my wrist is a bracelet with “Gratitude” engraved on it by My Intent @myintent . Also pictured on my wrist is my Jodo Shu Buddhist prayer beads from its headquarters in Kyoto, Japan, given to me by one of the head Bishops when he was in Hawaii in 2018.
Everyday speak out your mantra and attack your day with the light of positivity!
With Warmest Aloha,
Jon

It starts with tingles.
Then thoughts to words to actions.
Daily obsession.

A breeze brought you here.
Study the patterns of life,
like that of nature.
– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #196, 11/16/2018 –
Pattern recognition. There are patterns of nature like the Hawaiian trade winds. There are also patterns in business such as supply and demand, branding, marketing, and investing. There are even patterns in our self-development such as our habits in studying, working, and exercising. When we recognize how these patterns can benefit us and others, we can mitigate our risks and increase our success.

Drafted laws. Too dry.
Can I get a connection?
Made them alive with fiction.
Did you cry when the boy died?
Now do we have a connection?
