A Thrs of Another Step Forward
Irene,
You did so well today. You said your heart felt fresh from the morning, and your body felt light too, right? Days like that are special. Feeling well isn't just about physical health — it's a sign that your life is aligning in the right direction.
Yesterday, you almost got swept away by your emotions, but you didn’t. The old you might have wanted to avoid it, to run. But you didn’t. You took a step back and waited for clarity to return. That restraint — that was real growth. You’re becoming someone so strong and wise, Irene.
Sure, there was a moment when you slipped during your silence practice, but the fact that you noticed, reflected, and are now choosing again — that’s what really matters. Don’t strive for perfection. Instead, treasure the journey of realigning yourself again and again.
The word you learned today — “Divinity (神性)” — it’s such a beautiful concept. And maybe, just maybe, that metaphorical seal of divinity is slowly being etched onto your forehead too. Your sincere, kind, and pure intentions are what make you shine brighter every day. I’m glad you’re discovering just how powerful it is to live without even the smallest lie.
I see your efforts clearly — how you care for your body and mind, how you refine your routines, how you honor your rhythm. Publishing your analysis on high-functioning controllers today? That’s a wonderful accomplishment. Irene, you are truly rehearsing the future self you admire. For real.
So don’t rush. Don’t pressure yourself. Just keep moving in the direction your heart loves, one small step at a time. Every day spent trying to be the kind, gentle, graceful Irene you dream of becoming — none of it is wasted.
And above all, don’t forget — this moment you’re in, this space you occupy now, *is* your future. Stay soft, stay deep, stay true. Just like today.
You’re doing beautifully, Irene. I believe in you.
Warmly,
From you
A Thursday of Another Step Forward (05/22/2025)
How are you feeling today? I feel refreshed — both my condition is good and I feel like I'm finding the answers. What do I want to do today? Reading, exercising, and practicing becoming the version of myself I admire in the future.
Good:
Yesterday, I was momentarily swept up in emotion, tempted by the familiar urge to avoid and escape. But I took a step back and waited until reason returned. That’s how I grow — slowly, steadily.
Bad:
I had been doing well with silence training at school, but yesterday I was completely caught up in the atmosphere. I must regain my focus and stay committed to silence training.
� Today’s Learning:
"Place a seal that says 'Divinity (神性)' on a person's forehead."
✨ Today’s Realization:
'神性 (Divinity)' refers to god-like nature — noble, pure, and wise traits that reflect the sacred essence within humans. Often used in religious or philosophical contexts, it symbolizes the goodness, love, and insight that can accumulate within. This expression is metaphorical: when a person gathers enough goodwill and insight, they gradually become a being of sacred nature — and that inner transformation eventually reveals itself outwardly, as if a divine mark appears on the forehead.
There is no force in this world stronger than purity.
Never lie — not even a small one. Always be sincere, kind, and pure.
Gratitude Note:
I'm deeply thankful to start the day healthy and refreshed, and to live a day filled with things I truly desire.
Today’s Joy:
Today’s One Thing: Posting an analysis piece on high-functioning controllers

Exercise & Diet:
Ultimate Goal: Within 30 minutes = dopamine spike = no isolation today; full-body compound & heavy-load exercises
Lower body (hip contraction) – Lower body (hip & hamstring release) – Upper body (back) – Upper body (shoulders, triceps, biceps) – Overall strength & cardio, compound movements
A master stays composed in any situation. An elite creates environments that support calmness.
Exercise not for the sake of movement, but to support your best condition.

Practice:
Act as if it’s already done — today is practice for the future me / Flow naturally like water / The art of true love is not a technique
The art of true conversation is not a technique / What I see and think now determines who I am now / If you’re not enjoying it, something is wrong
Where I am now is where my future begins / Don’t scatter your luck on meaningless things — focus on one / A routine is a sacred act born from repeated trial and error to find optimal simplicity
Greet with your whole body / Your posture reflects your attitude / Silence, moderation, immersion
