If we strengthen our life force to a magnitude of a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, however, such difficulties will be merely minor distractions we toss aside as we joyfully move ahead.” (WLS-6, 86)- Daisaku Ikeda  To learn more you can visit: http://buddhability.org or www.sgi-usa.org  If you would like to receive a free health coaching consultation-- get in touch at courageouswellness.net or email [email protected] or [email protected]    This Episode is brought to you by BTR Nation.
