I bought a Daruma doll. There are 13 types of Daruma dolls, one of Japan’s traditional industries. Each Daruma is different in how it is made, its appearance, and its meaning.
I would like to summarize the meaning of Daruma so that you don’t forget it.
A total of 3 characters are entered, but they have the same meaning as below.
“I want to break through reality”
“I want this to be a year where I move forward, not just think.”

fever “熱”
I want this year to be the year I want to add some “fever” to my life.
Looking back on 2023, it was a year in which we did everything we could. Therefore, there were almost no opportunities to feel the heat in 2023.
It can be said that when and how you feel the heat is determined by whether you make a decision and follow through. If you just live in peace, nothing will come of it, and you won’t feel anything.
How far can you go in life? That seems to be the key for next year.
break the illusion “夢想打破”
“illusion” means “thinking in a dream”, “thinking aimlessly like a dream, or daydreaming”. I like the word dream. However, just thinking about it will not change reality. My personality is imaginative and creative, but over the past year I’ve realized that I’m not able to move forward in life because of it. In 2024, I want to be determined and take various actions.

first step “初一歩”
I put it in my back. Since only three characters or less could be written on the back, four-character idioms such as “Hatsushi Kantetsu” were not allowed.
