There were times when I attended 25 or 26 meetings in a single day, always on the move, always telling myself: “I have time for one more.” “I can encourage more members.”

I boldly took the initiative, throwing my entire being into the struggle. I never hesitated, staying constantly on the go and speaking without rest. I spent every day, from early morning until late at night, encouraging our members in every corner of Osaka.

There were times when I attended 25 or 26 meetings in a single day, always on the move, always telling myself: “I have time for one more.” “I can encourage more members.”

I was drenched with sweat, my voice was hoarse from speaking, and my legs felt like cement. There were so many people I had to meet, so many people I wanted to see and encourage, so many people I wanted to contact within the limited time of each 24-hour day.

If I let this moment, this opportunity, pass by, I might never be able to see this person again. That is why I was desperate to make the most of every second.
